  Hello.

  I use my wordpress blog to host podcasts located at http://www.under-leveled.com

  According to two different listeners when they are looking at the RSS feed it shows the title of the feed correct as underLeveled however when they examine the most recent feed entires they all come up with my wordpress username/authorname as the title of the individual podcasts and not the title of the podcasts.
  How can I fix this?

  Through some troubleshooting I’ve managed to detect something.
  After changing my name from ‘rootofra’ to ‘underleveled’ it now shows the name twice in the RSS feed.

  So basically it is doing this:

  Underleveled (<-title of blog)
  Underleveled (<-author)

  instead of
  Underleveled (<-title of blog)
  Podcast10 (<-title of post)

  I’ve seen ways to remove the author name from manipulating the site code via html/css but I’m looking to do this the free way, there should be an option for this to remove author names from posts anyways.

  Hi there!

  I tried to find your podcast in iTunes, but I didn’t see it listed when I searched for it. Can you let me know what service/program you’re using for your podcast feed so I can take a closer look at what you’re seeing?

  Custom CSS wouldn’t be able to modify your site’s RSS feed, so you wouldn’t need to purchase that upgrade.

  Checking your RSS feed in a validator, this is the information that’s being sent for your latest show post:

  <title>Podcast #9</title>
  <link>http://under-leveled.com/2013/04/10/podcast-9/</link>
  <comments>http://under-leveled.com/2013/04/10/podcast-9/#comments</comments>
  <pubDate>Thu, 11 Apr 2013 02:12:31 +0000</pubDate>
  <dc:creator>underleveled</dc:creator>
  <category><![CDATA[Underleveled]]></category>

  The site title would also be sent in your feed, but is separate from the individual show post metadata.

  If you can let me know what service you’re using, I’ll be able to look into this further.

  Thanks!
