Title: Pulling in Random Video Last modified: August 10, 2019 --- # Pulling in Random Video * Resolved [hollywoodonlocation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hollywoodonlocation/) * (@hollywoodonlocation) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pulling-in-random-video/) * I am using it as a widget, although I would prefer to embed. Don’t know how. * But for some reason this s-ware is pulling in a random video from my site as part of the series. It is showing it first. How do I get rid of that? * I only have one episode created and that is the only episode listed under ALL EPISODES. I also created a series of which that random video is not a part of. * How do I get it to not show up in the feed without deleting it completely? I still need it for other locations on my site that has nothing to do with the podcast. * Thanks. - This topic was modified 6 years, 9 months ago by [hollywoodonlocation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hollywoodonlocation/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpulling-in-random-video%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Contributor [Jonathan Bossenger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/psykro/) * (@psykro) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pulling-in-random-video/#post-11823812) * [@hollywoodonlocation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hollywoodonlocation/) thanks for getting in touch. * When you say the software is “pulling in a random video from my site as part of the series” do you mean under the AUTHOR UNCUT PODCAST widget. I see at the moment it’s showing the “2 Minute Video: How to Subscribe” item and the “Welcome Authors, Screenwriters & Book Lovers!” item, and I’m assuming you don’t want the “2 Minute Video: How to Subscribe” to show? * Can you tell me two things a) what content type is the video (Post, Page, some other type) and b) what are the items checked on your Postcast -> Settings -> General Settings page, under Podcast post types. * Thanks * Thread Starter [hollywoodonlocation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hollywoodonlocation/) * (@hollywoodonlocation) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pulling-in-random-video/#post-11825830) * Thanks for your reply. * 1. Yes, the 2 minute video should not be pulled in. 2. Video is mp4 3. Video is under Media and is showing on an older POST from 2017. 4. Under General Settings: I have these checked: posts, oembed responses * Thread Starter [hollywoodonlocation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hollywoodonlocation/) * (@hollywoodonlocation) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pulling-in-random-video/#post-11825979) * Never mind. I have removed the widget. But if you figure it out, let me know.

So it is a real problem I need help with. * Thanks.

If you don’t intend to include posts as podcasts, simply un-check posts under Podcast post types and your posts will not be included. * Thread Starter [hollywoodonlocation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hollywoodonlocation/) * (@hollywoodonlocation) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pulling-in-random-video/#post-11832483) * Thanks, Jonathan. I thought that setting allowed for automatic posts to be triggered once RSS feed detects new episode. * Thanks for clarification. * Plugin Contributor [Jonathan Bossenger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/psykro/) * (@psykro) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pulling-in-random-video/#post-11834292) * No problem, glad we got it sorted for you. * Thread Starter [hollywoodonlocation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hollywoodonlocation/) * (@hollywoodonlocation) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pulling-in-random-video/#post-11846473) * Hi, I thought it was solved by unchecking the “Posts” Under General > Podcast Post Types, as per your suggestion. But now, a new post is not created with the release of new episodes. I had a new episode release today and no post created. * If I redo “import feed” then I’ll have duplicate episodes pulled in. * How do I fix this? * Plugin Contributor [Jonathan Bossenger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/psykro/) * (@psykro) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pulling-in-random-video/#post-11851796) * Hi [@hollywoodonlocation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hollywoodonlocation/) * > a new post is not created with the release of new episodes * Can you explain to me what you mean by this. * Are you released podcast episodes separately from your WordPress site? * Thread Starter [hollywoodonlocation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hollywoodonlocation/) * (@hollywoodonlocation) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pulling-in-random-video/#post-11854458) * I use Anchor to release my episodes. SSP pulls in from that feed. * Plugin Contributor [Jonathan Bossenger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/psykro/) * (@psykro) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pulling-in-random-video/#post-11859641) * Ah, I see ok thanks. * In order to better assist you with figuring this out, could I ask you to send an email to our internal support channel at [hello@castos.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pulling-in-random-video/hello@castos.com?output_format=md).
