    Hi, I’ve been using GP for a few months and things have been going well. I’ve had a recent issue with podcasts. I’ve been using Seriously Simple Podcasting (SSP). Now I noticed that a number of my podcast episodes disappeared from my feed. I located them and restored them, but the number of podcasts in my feed has been limited to 10.

    I searched through the SSP forums and found that I could edit the WordPress Reader settings: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/podcast-feed-limit/

    I’ve done that and haven’t seen a longer list of podcasts on my feed generated yet. But here’s my real question. The SSP website says this issue can also be fixed by adding a snippet of code to the theme: https://www.seriouslysimplepodcasting.com/documentation/why-do-i-only-see-x-episodes-in-my-podcast-rss-feed/

    I have no idea how to do that with the GP theme. Would I even WANT to do that? If that’s something I can and should do, how do I go about doing it?

    Thanks in advance for the help. I am not someone who writes code or tinkers around with that stuff, so any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Hi Brian,

    You can definitely do that.

    I would suggest using a plugin like this to add the snippet: https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

    Let me know if you need more info ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks, Tom.

    In this link (https://www.seriouslysimplepodcasting.com/documentation/why-do-i-only-see-x-episodes-in-my-podcast-rss-feed/) they mention the following snippet:

    add_filter( 'ssp_feed_number_of_posts', 'ssp_modify_number_of_posts_in_feed' );
    function ssp_modify_number_of_posts_in_feed ( $n ) {
      return 25; // Where 25 is the number of episodes that you would like to include in your RSS feed
    }

    Is that whole thing code or just part of it? It seems like “Where 25 is the number of episodes . . .” wouldn’t be part of the actual code. But I have no idea.

    That whole snippet is fine – the text there is commented out by the double forward slashes ๐Ÿ™‚
