   Following the last update of podpress my once functioning iTunes feed no longer works. All the new fields were filled accordingly.
   Am I the only one experiencing this?

   Please, post the link to your blog and the URL to the Feed which is not working.
   Which version was your previous podPress version?

   podcast feed is http://www.cogdellumc.org/?feed=podcast

   if you open this Feed URL in a browser window then you get this message:
   "ERROR: podcast is not a valid feed template."

   The main causes for this message are:

   • There is no Feed with the slug name "podcast" in the podPress Feeds section of the Feed/iTunes Settings page.
   • The Feed is not active.

   The podcast Feed was always an additional Feed for WP blog which came e.g. with podPress. But since podPress v8.8.8 it is possible to give this Feed customized meta information. Further you give all the podPress Feeds meta information which are different to the meta information which podPress adds to the main Feeds of a blog (/?feed=rss2 or /?feed=atom). But the Feeds in the podPress Feeds section are not additional to the previously existing Feeds.

   So make sure that there is a podPress Feed with slug name "podcast" and the checkbox "Activate Feed" of this Feed is checked.

   Ahh ok I messed part of it up when amending it apparently.

   Further you give all the podPress Feeds meta information which are different to the meta information which podPress adds to the main Feeds of a blog (/?feed=rss2 or /?feed=atom). But the Feeds in the podPress Feeds section are not additional to the previously existing Feeds.

   I am not understanding what you mean here though...
   Have fixed the feed so it now shows on the feed address, waiting to see if iTunes grabs it.

   I have tried to say for instance that you may give the Feed with the slug name podcast and the default RSS Feed different RSS images and different description. That is not necessary but possible.
   BTW: The URL of the current RSS image of the podcast Feed seems to be wrong.
   But besides this issue the Feed looks good.
