Wordpress Quick Publish Plugin

Podigee WordPress Quick Publish copies episode information from your feed into WordPress posts and adds a player shortcode. A new WordPress draft is not a published post.

Before setup

Examine your Podigee account settings for access to the integration and its auth token. The old Advanced or Basic plan names do not show the terms of your current contract. If the function is missing, contact Podigee.

Also read the official WordPress plugin page. It warns that the plugin has not been tested with the latest three major WordPress releases. Earlier Gutenberg support does not show compatibility with your current WordPress, PHP and editor combination. Test the integration on a test website first.

Set up the plugin

1. If your environment supports the plugin, install it from the WordPress directory and activate it.
2. Open Podigee in the WordPress menu. The current plugin instructions put settings and the episode list there.
3. Enter the podcast subdomain and auth token from your Podigee account settings. Use the token only in the plugin setting. Do not publish it in posts, URLs or screenshots.
4. Use only the name in the subdomain field, for example mygreatpodcast, not https://mygreatpodcast.podigee.io. For a custom feed URL field, use the full public RSS feed URL, not only the blog address.
5. Save the settings and examine the episode list.

Create a WordPress draft

Select the published episode in the plugin list. The documented turn into post action creates a post draft. Open it and examine the title, show notes, links and player in the preview. Publish the WordPress post only after this inspection.

The plugin reads episodes in the feed. It does not automatically show an unpublished Podigee draft in WordPress. Also examine the post date. It can be different from the episode publication date.

If setup does not work

Examine the token, podcast and feed URL. An empty feed field alone does not show that the token is missing. Contact Podigee with the plugin, WordPress and PHP versions and the error message. Remove the auth token from screenshots.

The editor box and Fetch Feed in older instructions are earlier interfaces. If your editor does not show the box, use the Podigee menu and the current plugin documentation.

This procedure does not make a change to the WordPress database necessary. If you only want the player, you can also use the embed code applicable to your website.
