Title: WordPress 4.4 compatibility Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # WordPress 4.4 compatibility * Resolved [tobbefix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobbefix/) * (@tobbefix) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/) * today I updated to WP 4.4 and after doing so the tag for my podcasts comes up empty, which of course breaks directory listings on iTunes etc. I’m using category podcasting. * I tested this on another unrelated site that I manage. RSS is fine on WP 4.3.1 but after installing 4.4 the title is blank. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/powerpress/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/powerpress/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [tobbefix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobbefix/) * (@tobbefix) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6828712) * Update: It seems if i put a custom name in the “Feed Title” in the feed settings it’s ignored and nothing in <title> is populated. If I leave it blank then it will use “Site name – Category name” which is wrong, it used to only use Category name. * Plugin Contributor [Angelo Mandato](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amandato/) * (@amandato) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6828802) * Can you provide a link to the feed in question? * Did you make sure you cleared caches after updating WordPress? * Thread Starter [tobbefix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobbefix/) * (@tobbefix) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6828813) * I don’t use any caching feature or plugin. Link to the feed: [http://www.svampriket.se/category/podcast/svamppod-fyrkant/feed/](http://www.svampriket.se/category/podcast/svamppod-fyrkant/feed/) The name should be “Svamppod” and this used to work prior to WP4.4 when I left the name blank. * Another feed example from the other site i manage: [http://playbeforeyoudie.com/category/playbeforeyoudie/feed/](http://playbeforeyoudie.com/category/playbeforeyoudie/feed/) * [Submone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/submone/) * (@submone) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6828820) * I’m having the exact same issue. * I also logged into iTunes to see if it was just me… I saw probably 15 other podcasts that all say “No Title” in iTunes today. I’m thinking there are some compatibility issues with PowerPress and WP 4.4. * [Submone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/submone/) * (@submone) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6828823) * Here’s the link to my feed as well: [http://multiplyauthority.com/category/podcast/feed/](http://multiplyauthority.com/category/podcast/feed/) * I just deleted the title in the settings so it would show something instead of“ No Title” on iTunes. But, like the OP, it’s the wrong title. * Plugin Contributor [Angelo Mandato](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amandato/) * (@amandato) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6828868) * I’ve been working on a fix since your 2nd reply. I have a version ready but I am not ready to release, I am testing backwards compatibility with older versions of WordPress at the moment. * WordPress 4.4 removed the get_bloginfo_rss(‘name’) from RSS titles. I was unaware of this change, we never saw any depreciated alerts in our tests and did not catch changes to the title field during our testing. * I’m embarrassed about the bug and working frantically to have an update in place. * You are welcome to download the development version (tested for WP 4.4) [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/powerpress.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/powerpress.zip) Do not install the development version on older WordPress installations though, I have not confirmed yet that the new version is backwards compatible. * Plugin Contributor [Angelo Mandato](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amandato/) * (@amandato) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6828913) * 6.2.2 addresses this problem and has been released. * Again I am so sorry we did not catch this problem sooner. * Thread Starter [tobbefix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobbefix/) * (@tobbefix) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6828954) * If I set the title manually it works fine with the new version, but if I leave it blank it still populates it as Category name – Site name. Shouldn’t it just be Category name? * Plugin Contributor [Angelo Mandato](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amandato/) * (@amandato) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6828978) * Actually no, all category feeds by default have the category name – site name in them from WordPress by default. We only override that behavior when you set a custom title. If you disable PowerPress the category title – site title should remain in the category feed. * [EntBuddha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/entbuddha/) * (@entbuddha) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6829065) * I still have no title in iTunes even though I only updated the plugin to 6.2.2, not WP, which is still 4.3.1. * I’ve logged a bug report on the official plugin forum a few days ago but haven’t heard anything back. * [http://entertainmentbuddha.com/feed/podcast](http://entertainmentbuddha.com/feed/podcast) * Plugin Contributor [Angelo Mandato](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amandato/) * (@amandato) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6829066) * EntBuddha, please reply wit the link to our forum where you posted the question. I will follow up with our staff see why it was not answered. * If you are using the feed maximizer option then that may explain the issue. If you do not want to wait for PowerPress 6.3, please download the pre release here: [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/powerpress.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/powerpress.zip). Otherwise, a fix will be released either late tonight or tomorrow. * [EntBuddha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/entbuddha/) * (@entbuddha) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6829067) * Hey Angelo, * I first jumped in this thread which had a similar topic [https://forum.blubrry.com/index.php/topic,6833.0.html](https://forum.blubrry.com/index.php/topic,6833.0.html) * Then when I didn’t hear anything I submitted a new bug [https://forum.blubrry.com/index.php/topic,6842.0.html](https://forum.blubrry.com/index.php/topic,6842.0.html) * I don’t believe I’m using feed maximizer, I have mine set to don’t enhance feeds. * Plugin Contributor [Angelo Mandato](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amandato/) * (@amandato) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6829068) * Can you please test the next release to see if it fixes your issue?

Plugin still reads 6.2.2 in Bb, but I just overwrote the existing directory with the new one you linked to me. * [http://entertainmentbuddha.com/feed/podcast](http://entertainmentbuddha.com/feed/podcast) * Is <title> under <image> supposed to be blank? Never looked at it before so not sure if that’s by default or not. Either way the main <title> is back in the feed, so should get picked up by iTunes soon. * Appreciated. * Plugin Contributor [Angelo Mandato](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amandato/) * (@amandato) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/#post-6829071) * No title under image must match the title under the podcast, looking into it now… Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘WordPress 4.4 compatibility’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/powerpress/assets/icon.svg?rev=2849869) * [PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry](https://wordpress.org/plugins/powerpress/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/powerpress/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/powerpress/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/powerpress/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/powerpress/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/powerpress/reviews/) * 17 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [EntBuddha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/entbuddha/) * Last activity: [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-44-compatibility-2/page/2/#post-6829099) * Status: resolved
