Title: [Plugin: podPress] : Permalinks Feed Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: podPress] : Permalinks Feed * Resolved [Fireproofradiator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fireproofradiator/) * (@fireproofradiator) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-podpress-permalinks-feed/) * Hi All, Read all documentation I can lay hands on and gone through the podPress topics so but I’m having problems with validating feeds and permalinks. * Basically, I’m unable to validate the feed URL ([http://www.thebeatisthelaw.com/feed/podcast/](http://www.thebeatisthelaw.com/feed/podcast/)) unless I change the permalinks to ‘default’, but all the links on the site are static so that means that they don’t work when I do this. I’m not too keen on having to go through all the php and update the links and surely it’s not the case that everyone has to have unfriendly URLs if they want to podcast? Have I missed something? I’ve changed back to the custom structure ‘/%category%/%post_id%/% postname%/’ for time being. * I’ve got file permissions as 644 – [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-podpress-podpress-problems](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-podpress-podpress-problems)– and I’ve heard tell of a ‘?feed= workaround’ but haven’t been able to dig up any detail. * Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If you want to use that feed then you need to activate it. After you have activated the feed, save the Permalink settings. * [sdimbert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdimbert/) * (@sdimbert) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-podpress-permalinks-feed/page/2/#post-2024764) * Didn’t work. * I completed that section’s settings, saved them then re-saved the Permalinks settings. The feed still does not validate: * [http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://www.edvancers.com/?feed=podcast](http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://www.edvancers.com/?feed=podcast) * Plugin Author [ntm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntm/) * (@ntm) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-podpress-permalinks-feed/page/2/#post-2024765) * Seth, * the feed works perfectly now. But you are experiencing the problem as Rob has had before (see the first post in this thread): you have no posts with podPress attachment. A feed is not valid if it does not contain posts ( or elements). * BTW: You have made this feed an ATOM feed. ATOM feeds are okay to deliver the podcast episodes. But you should be aware that these feeds don’t have these iTunes: tags which means that you have less possibilities to customize the iTunes related settings. * Regards, Tim * [sdimbert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdimbert/) * (@sdimbert) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-podpress-permalinks-feed/page/2/#post-2024766) * If feed-validator kicks out an error, how do you know it’s working? * There is one pre-exisiting post with a PodPress attachment; is that not sufficient? Must it be a new post? * I’ll switch to RSS instead of ATOM. Thanks. * Tim, you’ve been awesome and I am sure this will all work soon… thanks for your help. I know that you’re volunteering your knowledge and time and I appreciate it. 🙂 * Plugin Author [ntm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntm/) * (@ntm) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-podpress-permalinks-feed/page/2/#post-2024767) * You are right there is one post with an podPress attachment. It is sufficient to have one post with such an attachment to make to feed valid. * The reason why this podcast feed still does not show this post is that you have activate one of the filters of this feed. * Have you selected a value in the File Type Filter or Category Filter list? Which one? (default is: nothing is selected) * Is “Include only posts with podPress attachments in this Feed” active? * Is “Bypass the “Included in:” selection for this Feed” active? * The feed type seems still to be ATOM. * If you open the feed [http://www.edvancers.com/?feed=podcast](http://www.edvancers.com/?feed=podcast) in a browser then some browser say that the feed does not contain posts. The Firefox browser shows you the feed and it is also possible to take a look at the source. That is how I can tell that the feed is working but empty. * [sdimbert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdimbert/) * (@sdimbert) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-podpress-permalinks-feed/page/2/#post-2024768) * You are right… that did it. I didn’t do it on purpose, but somehow one of the specific media types was selected. I’m validating cleanly now. 🙂 * Off to the iTMS! * Plugin Author [ntm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntm/) * (@ntm) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-podpress-permalinks-feed/page/2/#post-2024769) * It looks all-right now.
