<h4>1 Manual WordPress Shortcode</h4>
<p>Use a simple shortcode in your posts and pages, and the Podlove Web Player will appear, playing any media file you want to assign. Basic usage:</p>
<pre><code>[podlove-web-player
  theme="default"
  config="default"
  title="My episode title"
  subtitle="Episode Subtitle"
  poster="/files/path/to/poster.png"
  chapters="/files/path/to/chapters.json"
  transcripts="/files/path/to/transcripts.json"
  playlist="/files/path/to/playlist.json"
  src="http://mysite.com/mymedia.mp3"
  size="1337"
  show="My show title"
  duration="03:33"
]
</code></pre>
<p>Use an existing post with a media enclosure that is provided from plugins like Blubrry:</p>
<pre><code>[podlove-web-player
  theme="default"
  config="default"
  post="1234"
]
</code></pre>
<p>Or in case you have our <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/podlove-podcasting-plugin-for-wordpress/" rel="ugc">Podlove Publisher</a> installed:</p>
<pre><code>[podlove-web-player
  theme="default"
  config="default"
  publisher="1234"
]
</code></pre>
<h4>2 Using WordPress Gutenberg Blocks</h4>
<p>You can choose between different references, like Podlove Publisher, Blocks or you can add the meta data manually. Right now the latter option is limited to a limited set of attributes, this will be expanded in further releases.</p>
<h4>3 Automatic Integration with Podcasting Engines</h4>
<p>If you are using Podlove Publisher you should be able to select it in the Publisher Player settings.<br />
In case you are still using Blubrry you can simply enable the automatic insertions on enclosures in the settings and choose the position.</p>
<h3>Help & Support</h3>

Podlove Web Player

Next episode plays automatically all the time. No way to stop it. No community, no support. If it breaks, you are alone.

Horrible support

In combination wit the Podcast Publisher this is the most underused and underrated plugin for podcast publishing.

Thanks for your work!

<p>Sync Podcast RSS feeds with your WordPress website automatically. The Podcast Importer plugin helps to easily import podcasts into WordPress. You can import your podcast into the regular WordPress posts or into a custom post type (if you have an existing one).<br />
The plugin fully supports popular WordPress podcasting plugins such as PowerPress, Seriously Simple Podcasting, Simple Podcast Press, and works even better with podcast themes developed by <a href="https://secondlinethemes.com" rel="nofollow ugc">SecondLineThemes</a></p>
<p>The plugin supports importing episodes into existing custom post types, assign categories, import featured images and more. Additionally, the plugin enables continuous import or “Sync” of podcast RSS feeds, so every time you release a new podcast episode, it could be automatically created within WordPress.

(For example, when importing separate podcasts from separate feeds into one website)</p>
<p>To use the plugin, simply run a new import under “Tools -> Podcast Importer SecondLine” via the main menu that appears in your WordPress dashboard. Set the different options and if you need a continuous import process for future episodes, make sure to hit that checkbox before running the import process.<br />
You can disable a schedueld import at any time by simply deleting the import entry.</p>
<p>The plugin also supports automatic import of native / embed audio players from 15+ podcast hosting providers, including: Buzzsprout, Megaphone, Pinecast, Captivate, Transistor, Spotify for Creators, Simplecast, Podbean, Whooshkaa, Omny, Ausha, Spreaker, <a href="https://beamly.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Beamly</a>, Audioboom, Fireside, Libsyn and more.</p>

Podcast Importer SecondLine

An excellent plugin for importing podcasts into your WordPress website.

The only downside is that there is no option to limit the number or age of the post on the initial download. Can be a bit out of date when you're downloading podcasts from 2011 and earlier.

Downgraded rating from 5 stars to 3 stars due to latest update placing in nudge spam on every admin page to use their theme.
