Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Buzzsprout Podcasting

Log in to your Buzzsprout account and open the Directories section — your feed URL looks like https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/123456.rss.

Yes. Everything embedded with earlier versions of this plugin keeps working exactly as before. You can also paste an old shortcode into the block editor and it becomes a Player block automatically.

Your feed is cached for 15 minutes, so new episodes (and tag changes) show up on your site within 15 minutes of publishing.

Add tags to your episodes in Buzzsprout, then enter the same tags (comma-separated) in the Episode List block's settings. Only episodes with at least one matching tag are shown — handy for topic or season pages.

The Buzzsprout player keeps its own look, but the simple list display inherits your theme's typography and colors, and supports the standard block color controls.
