It took almost two hours though. Strangely, the episode is set to publish tonight at 10pm Pacific (~5 hours from now) instead of going live immediately. I wonder if there’s a bug in the date logic? The feed has the episode date to 3pm Pacific, which is when I published the episode. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Auto podcast import] Newly published episodes don’t appear for hours and “run now” doesn’t work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newly-published-episodes-dont-appear-for-hours-and-run-now-doesnt-work/) * Thread Starter [Master Devwi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/master-devwi/) * (@master-devwi) * [2 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newly-published-episodes-dont-appear-for-hours-and-run-now-doesnt-work/#post-18859270) * Thank you so much [@systemsrtk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/systemsrtk/)! I really appreciate your help. I just tried publishing a new episode, but after waiting a few minutes and attempting to manually refresh a few times, 1.0.18 still hasn’t picked it up yet. Just to confirm, the parameter is being appended to every fetch (including retries) and it’s using a random ID or timestamp so it’s different every time? * If so, it’s possible WordPress’s HTTP API is stripping or normalizing the parameter? If so, wp_remote_get() might help mitigate this? But it’s just a theory. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Auto podcast import] Newly published episodes don’t appear for hours and “run now” doesn’t work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newly-published-episodes-dont-appear-for-hours-and-run-now-doesnt-work/) * Thread Starter [Master Devwi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/master-devwi/) * (@master-devwi) * [3 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newly-published-episodes-dont-appear-for-hours-and-run-now-doesnt-work/#post-18832572) * Thanks so much for your help with this. The RSS feed is hosted by Spotify for Creators, which from what I can tell is cached. However, if I manually refresh the RSS feed in my browser a( minute or so after I hit publish) then it immediately shows the latest episode. Here’s the feed: [anchor.fm/s/1089b6078/podcast/rss](https://anchor.fm/s/1089b6078/podcast/rss) * And no, I haven’t made any changes to WP-Cron. The plugin shows that tried to update (the last run timestamp updates on schedule), so I think it’s correctly checking the feed on schedule. It’s just not seeing the latest episode for an extended period of time, even if I can see the latest episode in the RSS feed in my browser. * I wonder if the plugin might need to hard refresh to ensure it pulls in the latest RSS feed instead of the cached version — possibly by appending a parameter like“_? nocache=_” to the feed URL before fetching it? * I don’t see any errors in the log from Sunday afternoon when I last tried to publish the episode. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Auto podcast import] it appears to be hiding the featured image.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-appears-to-be-hiding-the-featured-image/) * [Master Devwi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/master-devwi/) * (@master-devwi) * [6 months, 4 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-appears-to-be-hiding-the-featured-image/#post-18717092) * Thanks! Yeah, it’s possible it’s my theme or another plugin. Unfortunately I don’t have staging environment set up at the moment that I can easily share, but I’m using the Activello theme with Blubrry PowerPress (no longer really used anymore), Default Featured Image (this could be the issue?), EWWW Image Optimizer, Guerrilla’s Author Box, Redirection, UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore, W3 Total Cache, and XML Sitemap Generator for Google. * The good news is that I was able to set a default featured image for each podcast, so that addressed the key issue and I’m in a good spot right now. Eventually I’d love to use the episode-specific art in the post, but it’s not urgent for me at the moment. * I do have two wishes/feature requests for the future: 1. When I import a new feed, it imports all episodes. It’d be nice to have an option to limit how many episodes in the feed to import (mostly for testing). For example, going forward I want to have all new episodes go through this plugin, but I already had posts on the site for older episodes so I had to import them and then set them to be drafts. Having an option to import All, Last N, or only new ones going forward would be handy. 2. I frequently have to schedule new episodes for release on a future date due to embargoes. I’d love a way to get a link for the next episode before it’s on the feed so I can use this link to prep social content, but I’m not sure you’d actually do that since the episode isn’t in the feed yet. Maybe you could have some sort of feature to pre-set the post slug for the next episode that appears in the feed? Just a thought. * Thank you again for building this amazing plugin! It’s a lifesaver. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Auto podcast import] it appears to be hiding the featured image.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-appears-to-be-hiding-the-featured-image/) * [Master Devwi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/master-devwi/) * (@master-devwi) * [7 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-appears-to-be-hiding-the-featured-image/#post-18705826) * Thank _you_ for all of your hard work on this! I really appreciate it. * I tried 1.0.15, but it still doesn’t seem to be working for some reason. FWIW I have the “Default featured image” plugin, but I tried disabling it and it’s still not pulling in the featured image from my RSS feed. * I decided to use an old podcast feed with just a handful of episodes to facilitate easier testing ([https://anchor.fm/s/1091dea70/podcast/rss](https://anchor.fm/s/1091dea70/podcast/rss)), and when I do a fresh import to drafts the featured image isn’t set based on the RSS feed’s podcast art. When I try to edit the post, the “Set featured image” option isn’t set so I know it’s not trying to use an existing media file. * Does this feed work on your end? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Auto podcast import] it appears to be hiding the featured image.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-appears-to-be-hiding-the-featured-image/) * [Master Devwi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/master-devwi/) * (@master-devwi) * [7 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-appears-to-be-hiding-the-featured-image/#post-18703054) * [@systemsrtk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/systemsrtk/) Thanks so much for the quick response and for updating it so rapidly. You’re awesome. 1. Personally, I’d prefer to just use the image URL from the feed (the original setting) rather than uploading the image to my library with the new setting. That’s the part that isn’t working. Any idea why? 2. The new option to upload the image to your media library could be useful though. If the URL is the same, will it reuse the existing image in the media library or will it upload a new one for each episode? I’d like to avoid uploading a bunch of identical images. 3. As another feature request: I’d also love to have the option to use either the feed image or the episode-specific image as the default post thumbnail. * Here’s my RSS feed URL for reference: [https://anchor.fm/s/1089b6078/podcast/rss](https://anchor.fm/s/1089b6078/podcast/rss) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Auto podcast import] it appears to be hiding the featured image.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-appears-to-be-hiding-the-featured-image/) * [Master Devwi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/master-devwi/) * (@master-devwi) * [7 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-appears-to-be-hiding-the-featured-image/#post-18701949) * Hi [@systemsrtk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/systemsrtk/). Thanks for developing this plugin! It’s incredibly helpful. I’m experiencing the same issue in this thread and the [two](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cover-import-2/) [others](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-import-not-working-2/). * I have the option to “Replace default wordpress post thumbnail” checked, but it still uses the default featured image on WordPress rather than replacing it with the podcast art from the RSS feed. Any suggestions for how to fix this? - This reply was modified 7 months, 1 week ago by [Master Devwi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/master-devwi/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Haiku minimalist audio player] [Plugin: Haiku minimalist audio player] Error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-haiku-minimalist-audio-player-error/) * [Master Devwi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/master-devwi/) * (@master-devwi) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-haiku-minimalist-audio-player-error/page/2/#post-2343136) * I’m having the same error in the Windows 8 Release Preview (which has a limited version of Flash built into IE10), so I guess I’ll have to see what I can do about fixing the theme or contacting the developer (who doesn’t seem to respond to customers anymore). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Haiku minimalist audio player] [Plugin: Haiku minimalist audio player] Error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-haiku-minimalist-audio-player-error/) * [Master Devwi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/master-devwi/) * (@master-devwi) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-haiku-minimalist-audio-player-error/page/2/#post-2343134) * Thanks Dalton! I guess I’ll have to add that to the list of bugs to send to the theme developer. * I tried adding the code to functions.php, but it didn’t seem to fix the issue. Of course, it’s possible I added it incorrectly. I tried it in a few places to no avail.
