    I am running 2.12.0 of the plugin. I created a podcast post with the post title:
    Spring Season underway at Camp Courageous!

    The episode file uploaded is:
    [audio src="https://campcourageous.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/2022-04-09-Podcast.mp3" /]

    The file that is trying to be played is:
    spring-season-underway-at-camp-courageous.mp3

    You can not play the episode on the web site. You can not download the episode (404 error). You can not play the episode in anther window (404 error).

    The same issues is happening with all of the episodes. The link that is trying to be played is the post title with the MP3 extenion. These posts did work until about two weeks ago. Tried to downgrade to version 2.11.0 and the problem did not go away.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi there @mlbia,

    Since the passthrough URL is failing, this is an NGINX server issue. You can reach out to your hosts and request they add a rule:

    Hi there,

    I am using the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin. In order for me to take full advantage of the plugin I need you to add the nginx bypass rule for the podcast-download and podcast-player URLs to my site’s config.

    Please add this to NGINX Before Rule

    
# Seriously Simple Podcasting

rewrite podcast-download/([^/]+)/([^/]*)/? /index.php?podcast_episode=$1 break;

rewrite podcast-player/([^/]+)/([^/]*)/? /index.php?podcast_episode=$1&podcast_ref=player break;

    Thanks!

    With the custom rule in place, the passthrough URLs will direct to your self-hosted audio files (and continue counting listens for Seriously Simple Stats).

    I hope that helps. Let us know if you have any other questions and have a good day.

    I have root access to my WordPress site and can edit all files. Which file am I editing to get this rule in place? Is this an index or config file?

    If you could give me a more specific file that this code goes into I might be able to do this myself.

    Thanks!

    Hi @mlbia

    Unfortunately, this NGINX bypass rule would need to be added by your webhost has it requires root server access.

    I’ve reviewed your feed though and it looks like you’ve set your RSS feed to bypass the passthrough URLs and use direct file links, is that correct? If so, keep in mind that Seriously Simple Stats (if using) will be unable to gather listen data if this passthrough URL is not used.
