Getting RSS feed for my podcast on WordPress
-
I am trying to start a podcast by posting through WordPress, linking to files hosted on another website. I also want to use the site’s RSS to submit to podcast apps, but I am extremely confused about how to do this. Everything I am reading says that it should just be the URL of your site + /feed/ at the end. But when I use that and try to submit to Apple Podcasts, it gives an error. I do not see any settings in the Dashboard that help figure out the RSS. I am not sure if there’s something set wrong in my settings or what. Can anyone help to direct me on how to get this working? Site is freaksandpsychospodcast.com/ Thanks in advance!

Here’s the error message I get when I try submitting freaksandpsychospodcast.com/feed/ to Apple Podcasts:
“Podcast cannot be added because the server or feed cannot be found.” -
Hi,
It looks like your site is using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but is hosted with another webhost.
We’re only able to provide support for WordPress websites that are hosted by us here at WordPress.com. For help with a WordPress site hosted elsewhere you’ll need to ask over at the WordPress.org forums:
https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
Your webhost’s support team may also be able to assist.
If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the open-source WordPress software you can read this article:

Thank you for your reply, but now I am really confused. How can it be through WordPress.org? When I try to log in to post to the forums there, it does not recognize the email address used to create the site ((email visible only to moderators and staff)). It says that the email address is unknown. However, I can log in to WordPress.com using it.
I used BlueHost to create the WordPress site, but they say they cannot help with these kinds of issues. So what do I do? Create a WordPress.org account? I don’t want to create multiple accounts that will be confusing in the future, but I am at my wit’s end not knowing how to proceed.

Your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with Bluehost.
Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
https://wordpress.org/support/ is a great resource for sites using the open source WordPress.org software, and you can find support for that at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
Your hosting provider’s support team may also be able to assist.

OK, thank you. I have posted the question on the WordPress.org forums. Hopefully they will be able to supply me with a solution over there.
