If it’s empty, it will pull the entire blog post (or summary, if that is selected in WordPress settings). Apparently, PowerPress will pull the content for the post from the excerpt field if it is not empty. I looked in the database files for my podcast and saw that the older entries had an “excerpt” field populated, while the new post had a blank field. I figured out what it was (in case anyone else wants to do the same thing). This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by AMC4x4. It didn’t make a difference other than the description actually taking even more of the text instead of cutting it off. I have tried checking and unchecking the “don’t allow other plugins to overwrite,” option, and then purged cache. I need to have the Spotify feed, for example, use a similar Summary and Subtitle, but instead it grabs the post. If you look at an earlier episode (#25 or #24), you’ll see the difference.
At some point that must have changed again. If I recall correctly, the workaround for the RSS and Spotify feed using the post content for a description was to use the Apple optimization for Subtitle. I use the Apple optimizations for Summary and Subtitle (they are both brief descriptions). The issue is when posting a new episode, the Episode description appears correct in iTunes, but not in Spotify or through RSS.
The answer is on the old forum and I don’t know how to search for the answer. This was an issue about five years ago and then you fixed it or had a workaround in another version. I hadn’t posted anything in almost two years.
