This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Podigee WordPress Quick Publish – now with Gutenberg support!

Beskrywing

This plugin let’s you fetch episode information from your Podigee podcast feed and copy it directly into the WordPress editor. It automatically adds a shortcode for the open-source Podigee Podcast Player as well.

It is for Podigee users with premium plans – you can check here to see if your plan includes the use of this plugin. If you don’t need all your podcast’s meta information but only the Podigee web audio player, check out our free-for-all “Podigee Player Shortcode” plugin that uses shortcodes for rendering the Podigee Podcast in your WordPress post.

Note: The plugin now works with the Gutenberg editor! Although the method on how you import your data into the post editor has changed. Please check the FAQs and the manual below.

Screenshots

  • That’s the new one-stop plugin site in your Wordpress’ backend
  • The settings section is hidden just below the list of episodes
  • Tadaaaa – if everythings works as expected, you should be seeing this when drafting a post with the help of our plugin

Installation

  1. Make sure that your Podigee plan includes the use of this plugin – otherwise it won’t work.
  2. Check the red megaphone icon in your WordPress backend (the one that says “Podigee” right next to it) and enter your podcast’s Podigee subdomain and your auth token – the URL is: HTTP(S)://YOUR_WORDPRESS_URL/wp-admin/admin.php?page=podigee-wpqp-plugin.
  3. Enter your subdomain and your auth token (auth token can be found here: https://app.podigee.com/settings#applications).

Kwel-vrae

Help! Where is the Podigee box in the editor?

No worries, it’s still there – but in future version it might not be – because everything you need can now be found here: HTTP(S)://YOUR_WORDPRESS_URL/wp-admin/admin.php?page=podigee-wpqp-plugin. Here you create new drafts, here you manage your settings.

Do I need to have a paid Podigee plan to use this plugin?

We offer this plugin as a feature for the users of our premium plans. So please be fair and think about hosting your podcast at one of Germany’s leading podcast hosters. Otherwise, this plugin’s license allows you to build your own version for which, obviously, we don’t give any support.

Does this plugin add any junk to my WordPress database?

No – but it stores your podcast subdomain and your auth token in the WordPress option table using the key ‘pfex_plugin_options’.

I’ve installed and activated the plugin but why don’t I see it?

Check HTTP(S)://YOUR_WORDPRESS_URL/wp-admin/admin.php?page=podigee-wpqp-plugin – everything here is in one place. After setup, you’ll find here a list of all published episodes in your configured feed(s).

I see a list of episodes … but what do I do now?

When hovering over a episodes title, you’ll see “>> turn into post” (or some similar text) below the title. Click it. If everything works correctly, it will automagically save a new blog post (as draft) with all your episode’s information in it. On the confirmation page you’ll find a direkt link to preview and to edit the new episode – also the episode’s title in the list should be linked to the post draft as of now.

I only need the player shortcode, is this plugin any good for me?

Yes! Just hover over the episode you need the shortcode for an click the “>> copy” link below the shortcode listed to have it right in your clipboard. You can then paste it in any post or page you want.

Can I really create multiple posts at once?

YES! Just select the episodes you need from the list and select “New posts from episodes” from the dropdown. As soo as you hit “apply”, the bulk magic begins! If everything works out, you’ get a list of newly created blog posts alogn with buttons for previewing and editing them. Tada!

Why don’t you set the episode’s date as post date?

Well, actually we do – but as we save the episode as draft (instead of publishing it right away), WordPress overwrites the post date with the current date during publishing. You can click on “immediately” in the publish settings box and you will see, that the episode’s date is already saved here correctly. All you have to do to have this date also as post date: click on the selected day in the calendar (and then on “publish”). If you change the date after publishing the post, please keep in mind that this could (depending on your permalink structure) also change the URL of your post.

Well where do I start? It works, yes. (5 Stars) But:It says “now with Gutenberg support”, well no, not really. It either copies a shortcode into your clipboard, which you need to copy into a shortcode block. Or it creates a new post, which is a classic editor block. So, it kind of works with Gutenberg, but calling it “Gutenberg Support” is exgagurated. (-1 Star) Next, if you are a paying customer in the business tier for at least 65€/month, and you are using a custom subdomain, which likely is one of the reasons you’re paying a 40€ premium per month. The plugin will not work. (-1 Star) (*) If you contact the Podigee Support (as paying customer) you’ll get the response, it’s known not to work with custom domains (which, just to remind us, we paid a lot of money to get in the first place). (-1 Star) Now, my company has a custom domain, I had the choice of accepting this, or try to fix it. curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); + curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); $output = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); By adding the marked line in the podigee-quick-publish.php, the plugin works with custom domains. I’ve sent this patch, among some minor fixes for broken code, to podigee at the 16th March 2023 and well… obviously no update, otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this, and worst of all, not even a reply. This deducts the next star, leaving us at 1 Star. TLDR: If you are not using a custom domain, or if you are willing to add my patch above, the plugin is ok, and would rather get 3-4 stars at the current state. My biggest complaint is, that Podigee ignores a paying business tier customer and ignores a sent in patch file. @Podigee: I’m more than happy updating my review, once you update the plugin. *) EDIT May 2024: Custom Domains are supported roughly 8 Months after I’ve done my initial review and roughly 10 Months after I’ve sent them my initial email. Since I can’t test it anymore the following update is untested and unverified. But I’ll revoke the -1 Star for not working custom subdomain, but I’m still behind the other deductions, leaving us with an updated 2/5 Stars.

The plugin has evolved a lot since the last release and the Gutenberg support is really good. Really handy to transfer all data from the RSS feed into the post. The only thing that I am missing now is an auto-publish function. I have to wait until the episode is published, before I can update the Wordpress page. As I take care of all the meta-data in the Podigee web-site, there is no real need for me to review the Wordpress post before publishing. Which makes it more complicated, I cannot see finished Podigee episodes that are finished but have a publishing date in the future in Wordpress. If that was the case I could at least set a date to publish along with the Podigee publishing date. At the same time – since the RSS feed is the bridge, it is probably quite impossible to fix this. Small feature request: I would like to be able to select the items that are taken over in the auto-post (my subtitle never changes for example but is then added into every post)
