I am wanting to include podpress episodes attached to post of custom type in my podcast feed. As far as I can tell podpress will only include posts from the primary feed. Is this correct and if so, is there any way around it?
Thanks
Podpress feed with Custom Post Type (2 posts)

The podPress may contain posts with media files added with podPress. But they may contain all posts. There is an option for each podPress Feed which is called "Include only posts with podPress attachments in this Feed". If you deactivate it the podPress Feeds (and category feeds with an active Category Casting) will contain all posts.
But as far as I know custom post types, you need a theme or plugin which supports them. Or you could add a few lines of code to the functions.php of your theme as it is described e.g. here: http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/02/02/showing-custom-post-types-on-your-home-blog-page
It seems to me that WP does not show posts of a custom post type on the Home page or in the feeds by default.
podPress does not exclude them. But it has on the other no special function to expand the default db queries of WP and to include posts of custom post types.
These custom post types are still a little bit new for me. But there are a couple of plugins to manage custom post types and they should have an option to include such post into the Home and feeds of a blog without copying&pasting code to file.podPress supports custom post types in a certain way. On the general settings page of podPress in the section Post Editing, you can find an option to enable the podPress box for the editor pages of existing custom post types.
So if you have custom post types, you can add episodes with podPress to them.Regards,
Tim
