# Missing episodes on RSS feed when validated

 * I recently faced some issues with my latest (last 2) podcast episodes not loading
   on my podcast in Itunes, Castbox and Spotify. When looking into it further and
   validating my RSS feeds, I realized that I created a RSS feed specific to my 
   podcast: [http://thegreenbelle.com/feed/podcast/](http://thegreenbelle.com/feed/podcast/)
   and my general RSS feed for my website: [http://thegreenbelle.com/feed/](http://thegreenbelle.com/feed/)
 * The RSS feed with /podcast added to the end shows all my episodes including the
   missing 2 when validated on castfeedvalidator.com (for a total of 25 episodes)
   and is associated with my Powerpress plugin, however my general RSS feed is missing
   the last 2 episodes (showing only 23).
 * The current RSS feed that is submitted to iTunes is: [http://thegreenbelle.com/feed/](http://thegreenbelle.com/feed/)(
   the one with the 2 missing episodes on castfeedvalidator.com as well). I didn’t
   realize this at first but I don’t want to change my RSS feed in iTunes with the
   fear that I lose my reviews and ratings associated with my podcast (I currently
   have 24 reviews and 5 star rating.
 * This is my page on apple podcast (iTunes) showing that I only have up to episode
   23, even thought I have up to 25 uploaded on my website: [https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-green-belle/id1455548657](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-green-belle/id1455548657)
 * My blog is showing all the blogposts for each podcast episode and I followed 
   the creation of my blogpost correctly: [http://thegreenbelle.com/](http://thegreenbelle.com/)
 * I haven’t added any additional plug-ins. I honestly didn’t even know iTunes (
   and Castbox) wasn’t using the proper RSS feed because they would constantly update
   with episodes until last Thursday (June 20th)
 * Can anyone help me? P.S. I dont know much about RSS feeds and how to change them)
 * Thanks

 * Hello [@thegreenbelle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thegreenbelle/),
 * There is no need to change your feeds. Essentially the /feed/ and the /feed/podcast/
   are the same. The only time the /feed/ will be different is if you write a blog
   post without a podcast episode attached. My quick view of both feeds it appears
   you are only podcasting on your site, no need to sweat it.
 * As for the different content on different feeds, this appears to be a server 
   caching issue. I confirmed this by adding a query string plus random name=value
   parameters to the URLs to get around the caching. e.g.
 * [http://thegreenbelle.com/feed/?a=2323](http://thegreenbelle.com/feed/?a=2323)
   
   [http://thegreenbelle.com/feed/podcast/?a=4i5n5](http://thegreenbelle.com/feed/podcast/?a=4i5n5)
 * I looked a little deeper and see the web server you are using is “Nginx”. This
   is great, we use Nginx for our WordPress hosting we provide over at Blubrry. 
   We provide a special plugin for our hosting customers that adds an option near
   the top of the WordPress wp-admin area to allow users to clear their site cache.
   You may want to contact your web host to see if they have such a plugin for your
   site or if they provide a control panel you should use to clear your site cache.
 * Thanks,
    Angelo
