  This has been irritating me four a couple of hours.

  My Anchor.fm podcasts are linking to different episodes on my WordPress blog but the links are correct.

  For example: https://qthewingedpodcast.wordpress.com/2021/06/06/night-of-the-comet-thom-eberhardtus1984/

  Links to the wrong podcast but the link is correct.

  Does anyone know what’s causing this? The correct episodes play on Anchor.fm – the problem is with WordPress’ integration. Similarly if i try to share a newly published podcast direct to WordPress it links all the information for the previous podcast I uploaded but not the current one.

  I’m sure the problems are connected but blowed if I know how.

  I’m not sure I understand – what’s the wrong part on that page? This blog is linked to this feed: https://anchor.fm/s/5dd9c094/podcast/rss

  We’ve heard it can take a few seconds/minutes for the new podcast episode to register in the feed, so WP.com asks for the episode, doesn’t find it, then picks the most recent from the RSS feed (being the previous episode). If you try to share again now, does it pick up the right one?

  Hey there, can you clarify this?

  For example: https://qthewingedpodcast.wordpress.com/2021/06/06/night-of-the-comet-thom-eberhardtus1984/
  Links to the wrong podcast but the link is correct.

  The title on this says Night of the Comet, and the podcast also says Night of the Comet. Can you clarify where it’s wrong?

  Yeah, 24hrs later and they’ve mostly put themselves right.

  Susan Slept Here was insisting the podcast didn’t exist, but if I clicked ‘update’ it was playing Sweeney 2.

  But even that’s sorted now.

  I suppose the trick is, wait a day before sharing to WordPress.

  Thanks both for your interest.

  Thank you. I don’t think you’d need to wait a full day, but do wait for a few minutes, and let us know how it works out next time.
