Manage your podcast in WordPress with Seriously Simple Podcasting
Note on the plugin → Castos Syncing: If you have connected Castos to your WordPress page via the plugin and API, we recommend managing your podcast fully from WordPress. Think of the plugin as "pushing" your podcast data and episodes to Castos for safe keeping then returning Castos-hosted audio file URLs. If you make changes to your podcast on Castos, those changes will not be synced back to WordPress.
- Creating podcasts and publishing episodes will all take place in your WordPress Admin panel.
- We'll show you how to connect your WordPress website to your Castos hosting account.
- In addition to publishing episodes directly on your website, Castos and SSP will generate a unique RSS feed URL in WordPress for you to submit to podcast listening platforms like Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts.
- Migrating your podcast to WordPress using SSP from another hosting service? Enter the existing the RSS feed URL and we'll get to work.
