    I’ve added the RSS Button to a post, but when people click on it, they either get the raw data file, or nothing. Can you help out? Sorry, my understanding of RSS is limited, so an easy explanation and a fix would be great.

    Hey rasa,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    Users will have to install a third party application or a browser extension in order to subscribe to your feed. One example is the rss feed browser extension from Chrome, link below.

    // https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-feed-reader/pnjaodmkngahhkoihejjehlcdlnohgmp/related?hl=en

    Install the extension, enable it, then try to subscribe to your rss feed again.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael, I’m still struggling with this, and I apologize for my ignorance. I recently read this comment on a blog where they were reviewing our new podcast series. The reviewer wrote…
    • • • 
    The podcast is available at Podbean, Spotify, Google and TuneIn; I still think it ought to be searchable from any podcasting app. That’s the standard for podcasts that aspire to a large audience. I just checked, and it’s still not available at the Podkicker app; I had to download Podbean to listen to it in my car.

    Maybe he just doesn’t know how to set up his browser?
    I’m not really sure what’s going on here. I set up the RSS Reader in Chrome, and it does open first the XML file, but then a popup says, “This is a feed” and it lists our posts. Any idea why the review is having such trouble? Do we need to list the feed with Podkicker in order for this guy to be happy? I’d like to write to the guy on his blog and explain the situation, but I’m not sure what to tell him. Any suggestions?

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Podkicker or podcasts in general. You may have to register your site to their app and proceed from there. Your best route is to contact Podkicker directly and ask them about it.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
