Where is the podcast section?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have a free wordpress.com account: silkasmr.wordpress.com

    I am trying to create a podcast.

    I am following these instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/podcasting/

    Which say: “From your WordPress Dashboard, go to Settings > Media. Under the Podcasting section, choose your podcast category.”

    But I can not find “Media” when I go to settings.

    Can someone help?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Yes, that worked! Thank you noebiewan!

    It seems like I was in the new editor view which does not have a media section, but the link you sent me opened up the old editor view which did have the media section.

    How can I switch to that view on my own from my site?

    Glad that worked.

    You can hover over “My Sites” in the upper left, and then click on “WP Admin” for the appropriate site.

    That’ll take you to the classic dashboard.

    Or you can just add “/wp-admin” at the end of the main address for your site.

    The hovering does work if I am in another wordpress view, but when I am in the new edit mode on my site then the hover method does not work. But I did bookmark the/wp-admin url and will just use that.

    Thank you for you terrific assistance noebiewan.

    So this does beg the question…why can’t I access the media and podcast section in the new edit view?

    For me, I think of the new editor as the interface for efficient publishing and some other functions, but WordPress Admin as the place for more detailed setup and stuff that’s “under the hood.”

    Other members here may have suggestions on some quicker ways to get around to things than I do. Old habits die hard. :)
