 * I’ve tried setting / unsetting, checking the checkbox. Nothing makes the explicit
   flag show up in the iTunes feed, so my podcast won’t validate.
 * I’m using 6.3.2 of the plugin.
 * Feed is here:

 * Do you have category podcasting enabled? If not, please do not use the category
   feed. Is there a reason you are using categories for your podcast? I would highly
   recommend renaming your podcast category to something else as it can conflict
   with the podcast feed trying to use the same slug name.
 * Your podcast only feed has the explicit setting set: [http://scottbarstow.com/feed/podcast/](http://scottbarstow.com/feed/podcast/)
 * Your feed will remain invalid until you create 1 episode. I recommend going to
   the PowerPress Settings page and switching to “Simple Mode”, this will present
   you a 3 step process to get started.

 * I’m having the same issue. I’ve changed my tag even to say explicit and I’m still
   getting the same problem. I’ve tried switching to simple mode and no success.
   Anyone that has any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

 * Kurtis,
 * Are you using a category feed, or the “/feed/podcast/” default PowerPress feed?

 * Only the one required one. Music.
    Weird thing is my main feed works, [http://thefaceradiobk.com/feed/podcast](http://thefaceradiobk.com/feed/podcast).
   But iTunes says its already submitted. However the one that worked for years,
   [http://thefaceradiobk.com/feed/itunes123](http://thefaceradiobk.com/feed/itunes123)
   keeps saying its explicit, so keeps being rejected. iTunes Customer service takes
   like 100 days to respond, so my iTunes podcast has been down now for almost 2
   months. Really hurts my weekly radio program!

 * if anyone can show me how to remove the explicit tag from the itunes123 (the 
   one that has worked in the past in iTunes, I’ll celebrate so much!! I’ll give
   you the biggest shout ever on my show, as so many of my listeners are having 
   to tune in on MixCloud and hating it!!!
 * Thanks for already being so quick to respond! This is already a 100% improvement
   to iTunes!

 * kurtispowers, [http://thefaceradiobk.com/feed/itunes123](http://thefaceradiobk.com/feed/itunes123)
   would be a custom podcast channel feed. You need to go to PowerPress menu on 
   the left and select “Podcast channels”, then edit the channel with the slug “
   itunes123”. These settings apply specifically to this feed.

 * kurtispowers – did you have an iTunes Store listing that was delisted due to 
   the lack of an explicit tag setting?
 * Also, the screenshot didn’t come thru.

 * Angelo, you may have just been my savior! My status in iTunes is now “Scheduled
   for Update”!!! Will let you know, but I’m pretty sure you fixed it. It was pretty
   awesome as my wife is watching Rocky in the other room and the theme music was
   playing after I clicked submit! Felt triumphant!!! Shawn, yes this feed worked
   without problem before the update!
