Can I automatically send RSS feed of Wordpress Podcast to iTunes using Powerpress?
Yes, but "send" is not the correct term.
Here's a quick explanation of how podcasting works:
An XML page on your web site (e.g. example.com/feed/podcast/) maintains a list of your blog posts/podcast episodes. This unique URL is then used to submit to podcast directories including iTunes. iTunes and other directories will check this URL every so often (iTunes case it's every 4 hours) for updates and changes. If iTunes sees new content, it will make that new content appear on the iTunes podcast directory, typically within a few hours. This process is better described as "syndication".
WordPress provides RSS feeds for blogging automatically. What PowerPress does is give you a podcast only RSS feed, which is necessary to optimize the blog posts in the feed for only podcast consumption. In a perfect world you would use the blog feed (which mixes your blog posts and episodes) for your news subscribers, and use the podcast only feed for your podcast subscriptions.

I'm working on a web project that will consist of an online shop that will create some kind of blog post after checkout and let you edit this blog post.
So the customer can just buy a post on my website and edit it as he likes.
The post may contain text and media.
I'm looking for a nice tech stack to develop this online platform.
I have some kind of proof of concept using WordPress, WooCommerce, and a self developed plugin that will create a blog post after a WooCommerce checkout event and turn the ownership of the post to the customer's account.
The plugin also limits the maximum amount of media for upload and restricts access to the media of other users.
Next steps will be to modify the WooCommerce account page and list the blog posts there with a link to the editor, so the customer can edit posts anytime.
But I think this solution lacks scalability.
Depending on the popularity of the platform, there will be a lot of blog posts created, and I fear that someday, after a couple of thousand blog posts with multiple media types, etc., WordPress will come to its limits.
I have read something about static site generators, and I'm wondering if it's possible to have an online shop that will create a static site and let the customer edit it like my WordPress proof of concept now. With a nice editor and the possibility for online payment, etc.
Is there anybody that can recommend a nice stack for this kind of platform? Or maybe someone who can take my fears about the scalability of WordPress away?
I use FeedDemon and I noticed that some Tumblr RSS feeds had stopped working recently. I thought it was random but I found out that all of the feeds that stopped working were for NSFW blogs.
It seems as though Tumblr's default safe mode filter is preventing RSS feeds from working for NSFW blogs. An example of how trying to access one of these feeds can be found here, it appears as though the html for the 'safe mode' page is accessed instead of the RSS itself. Is there any way to make it so that these feeds can be accessed from a program such as FeedDemon?
UPDATE: it appears as though tumblr has changed their policy, as NSFW blog RSS feeds can now be accessed by my RSS reader without any modification done by myself.
It appears that Tumblr has made an exception for Feedburner ― all Tumblr RSS feeds can be retrieved by Feedburner, and from there they can be read by any aggregator.
The basic steps:
Log in to / create account for Feedburner
Get the url of the RSS feed for the blog in question (e.g., https://staff.tumblr.com/rss)
Enter that url in the field under "Burn a feed right this instant"
Review the presented options, then hit Next »
Add the displayed Feedburner url to your feed reader
Late answer but I had the same problem. Feeddemon uses your internet browser you've set up in the options to check feeds - In my case Internet Explorer. All you need to do is log in to tumblr using that browser and your feed will be able to access the nsfw rss feed.
I have a site that I have set up a lot of Applets for in IFTTT. Now I have changed the domain for my site, and don't see how I can easily change the RSS-feed link (to the new domain) in IFTTT.
If I go to https://ifttt.com/feed and then click on Settings, I can disconnect the RSS feed. But I don't want to do that, just change the URL to the feed.
I have searched Google and SO, but not found the answer.
How can I change the RSS feed link for my IFTTT?
Hello World post has been deleted, but wherever the feed is used, feed includes the excerpt and link to the deleted post. From where can I manage all the feeds of my WordPress website?
Thanks a tonne. After searching more and specifically with 'wp_cache_feed_transient_lifetime' I got my solution, which is to wait for 12 hours.
I realized that publishing an article, updates the feed, but unpublishing doesn't automatically remove it from the feeds.
WordPress cache feed has a lifetime of 43200 seconds. You cannot get rid of the feed instance. Time can be reduced by editing the code, but I am happy with default settings.
I was wondering if there are any legal issues with using somebody else's RSS feed in your app (e.g. a BBC RSS feed)?
You really should ask a lawyer. However, I found this on out-law.com:
Using a third party RSS feed on your site
Most providers of RSS feeds are happy
to have their feeds displayed on third
party websites. However, if you plan
to display adverts next to a third
party's RSS feed, or otherwise profit
from the feed, we recommend that,
ideally, you seek permission from the
provider.
At the very least you should check the
sites whose feeds you want to use for
conditions of use for their RSS feeds
or, if there are no such conditions,
the site's copyright notice. Even in
the absence of any prohibition in
these notices, you're safest course of
action is to approach each site for
permission. That's not to say you'll
definitely get sued for following your
plan without permission from each
party; it's just that you run a risk.
If conditions forbid commercial use of
a feed, request permission before
using the feed on anything other than
a personal website. Commercial use
does not only mean that you are
selling access to the feed or
surrounding the feed with advertising;
any use on the website of a business
can also be a commercial use.
