Moving a podcast feed from WordPress.com to a self hosted WP blog?
-
I’m looking at moving my podcast feed from my WordPress.com blog to a self-hosted WP blog. In looking at Apple’s documentation (https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itca489031e0) I’m not sure how to do all of this through my WordPress.com blog. given how much of it is handled on WP’s own servers and not one I have access to. Where, if possible, can I add this tag to my current podcast’s RSS feed, so that listeners who already subscribed will get sent to the new one? Anyone been through this and/or have any tips?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
To set up a podcast on a self-hosted WordPress site you’d need to use a podcasting plugin – that feature is not built into the Core WordPress software the way it is on WordPress.com.
Looking at the iTunes instructions you linked to, you’ll need to resubmit your feed URL on the new site, and then the subscribers are migrated on their end. What exactly that feed URL will be will depend on the podcasting plugin you use.
For advice on plugins you can use for this, you can ask in the self-hosted WordPress forums:
