 * When trying to submit our podcast to Spotify, I’m getting errors saying that 
   the feed is missing a description and an email address. The Feed Description 
   field (under Feed Settings) has content, but I do see that the <description> 
   for the channel in the feed is missing. There is an email address listed with
   <itunes:email> – is there another place where an email address should be specified?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsubmitting-to-spotify%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@gotigersjf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gotigersjf/),
 * I assume you’re using Podcast Channels, based on your feed URL? If so, make sure
   you’re updating the description in the Channel’s Feed tab and the email address
   in the Apple tab. The main settings will only work with the default podcast URL(/
   feed/podcast), but Channel, Category, and Post Type podcasting have separate 
   settings areas.

 * No, I don’t have any of those enabled. We have a custom post type (sermon) that
   we have been attaching externally-hosted mp3 files to. Given that setup, should
   I be using a different URL to submit to Spotify? I do worry that changing to 
   Podcast Channels or Post Type podcasting might mess up our existing connection
   to Apple Podcasts.

 * Hi Jim,
 * Please give this a try:
    1.) Log in to your WordPress site 2.) Go to PowerPress
   >> Settings 3.) Find the Advanced Options menu at the bottom of the page and 
   check the box next to Custom Podcast Channels; click the Save Changes button 
   at the bottom of the page 4.) Click the Podcast Channels link inside the lefthand
   sidebar menu 5.) Click the Edit link underneath Podcast (default channel) 6.)
   Go to the Other Settings tab; look for “sermon” (or something close to that name)
   in the Custom Post Type dropdown menu; select it in the menu and click the Save
   Changes button
 * Doing this won’t change your current feed URL. Please reply when you’ve done 
   this so we can check your feed and make sure all of the correct tags are there.

 * OK, I have gone in and made these changes. Here’s the feed, and it appears to
   validate at Spotify: [https://lifepointsc.org/feed/podcast](https://lifepointsc.org/feed/podcast)
