I’m getting this message on the top of my website: Deprecated: Required parameter $parent follows optional parameter $field in /home4/zhanstat/public_html/wp-content/themes/podcaster/includes/custom-fields/typography-input/field_typography_input.php on line 27. How do I get rid of it? Thanks

Hello, this looks like it might be linked to your PHP version. I recommend using PHP 7.4 which is the current stable version for WordPress. The error should be resolved after that.

Thanks, how do I go about upgrading my PHP version to 7.4? Thanks

You should be able to do this via your hosting company cpanel. I would recommend getting in touch with them for more advice.

Can you please add Amazon Podcasts to the Social Media options? https://music.amazon.com/podcasts Thanks!

I’m not sure. The Amazon Music logo seems like it would be too big alongside the other icons. Perhaps the icon they use for podcasts? https://prnt.sc/5E4iM7SRjQWQ

You can see that image at https://music.amazon.com/podcasts

Thank you for the link!

I am also receiving the “Cannot load pt-one-click-demo-import.” after clicking Podcaster > Import Demo Data.

Is there a solution to this issue?

If you are receiving this message, it is likely that sever settings are in place that are blocking automatic imports.

I recommend either getting in touch with your hosting (some have resolved this by installing WordPress manually) or importing the demo manually. Instructions can be found in the documentation: http://themestation.co/documentation/podcaster/#manual-import

Let me know if this helps!

Great template. I do miss the option to use the podcast custom post type. So when I use the plugin Seriously Simple Podcasting and the Podcast Importer SecondLine to import my podcast rss to post.

The theme does not show the post’s in the podcast custom post type. It only works with the internal default wordpress post type.

Another thing, there seems to be no Right Sidebar Page template. (UPDATE: I see, the default template is a right sidebar page)

Also since I’m using the podcast import plugin, WordPress / this theme does not show the audio player since the short code does not work on the homepage.

It show’s (example)

[audio src="anchor.fm/b2-b8a197525b9b.mp3"][/audio]

It does work on the post page.

So I see. I need to set all automatic imported post to an audio post.

Yes, you can also set the default post format by going to Settings > Writing > “Default Post Format” and selecting audio from there.

As for featured players, those have to be embedded into each post manually.

Let me know if this helps!

Howdy. I sent a note via item support but haven’t heard back. The front end of my site is still working fine. But in the back end I’m having issues since my last set of plugin updates. On episodes, fonts are no longer displaying correctly on the edit page—just Times New Roman. And moving blocks around is now impossible. Everything is really sluggish and slow. Same on pages, althought fonts look right on pages. I’ve tried this in Firefox and Chrome. WP 5.9.1, Template Library and Redux Framework Version 4.3.10. CMB2 Version 2.10.1 Thanks!

Hello,

looks like there was miscommunication, I’m really sorry about that. A reply to your support ticket was sent out last week, but I received a “Message Delivery Failure” reply. Not sure what might be wrong, but my reply bounced back. Below is the original reply sent back last week. Let me know if it helps:

Hello Kevin,

Welcome to Theme Station Support, I’ll get right to your question.

Not sure what might be happening here, but I can look into it for you. Could you send me screenshot of your plugins page, just so I have an overview of what is currently active? Thank you.

Another question: are you able to access the Podcaster > Theme Options page? Let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

Kind regards, Theme Station Support

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch and for the miscommunication, I’m not sure why the email replies are not getting through to you, perhaps a strong spam filter. If you can supply me with another email address, I would be happy to use that one instead. If yes, just open another ticket and include it in there, I should be able to receive that one and reply to it.

A reply was already been posted to the comment you left at Themeforest, it was posted 2 days ago. I’ll include a link to the comment here: https://themeforest.net/item/podcaster-multimedia-wordpress-theme/6804946/comments?page=31&filter=all#comment_27977694

Hopefully this get’s through to you, I’ll post it in the comment thread as well just to be sure.

Kind regards, Theme Station Support

Hi, for Demo Cooking, can I change the color theme to green?

Yes, Podcaster comes with theme options that allow the changing of colors. You can install that theme and change it to green. If you have questions on how to do this, please drop a support ticket. :)

Hi

Great theme.

I sent an email via the support function a week or so ago but didn’t receive a response so thought I would leave a comment instead incase the email didn’t reach you.

I’ve resolved the issue I was having, but I have a separate question

I tried to create a read more tag within the excerpt but it didn’t work, I thought that would be the case and wondered if you could offer any advice.

Ideally I would like the text I’ve currently got on my home page to be a drop down when you press a “read more” button – is it possible to get any help with that? or do you know anyway I can do that?

I’ve very comfortable with CSS, HTML and very very basic PHP.

Thanks very much

Please ignore this request. I have resolved the issue myself. Thanks

Happy to see you figured it out. Thanks for the information.

Hi I sent a theme support question a few days ago and havent heard back. I need to find out how to remove the volume button on the episode block on the home page. It gets in the way of the text on desktop browers

Hello, really sorry about that, I couldn’t find any ticket from your account in the inbox. Not sure what happened there.

About the volume button, the easiest way to go about hiding it, is using CSS. Please go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

Then try adding the following:

.front-page-header .mejs-container.mejs-audio .mejs-controls .pod-mejs-controls-inner .mejs-button.mejs-volume-button { display: none; }

This will hide the volume button in the default audio player displayed on the front page header. Let me know if it helps.

An addition: I just took a closer look at the inbox, and a ticket of yours was replied to several days ago. Please check your spam folder, unfortunately replies sometimes do get lost there. I can also paste the reply here, just let me know.

Hi, Maybe a weird question but is there also a possibility to use this Wordpress theme to generate a RSS feed which I can submit to the podcast platforms? I really would like to keep the hosting of the podcast in-house.

Hello, not a weird question at all, no worries. There are two plugins that can be used to generate an RSS feed in WordPress, Blubrry PowerPress and Seriously Simple Podcasting. I would look into them to see if they offer what you need, but a feed is included. They both work with Podcaster. Hope that helps! :)

Whenever I enable Redux on my sight it slows it way down. I even bought pro to try to fix but I lose all theme functionality when I disable standard and enable pro

Hello, could you send in a support ticket about this? Please include any info you have as well as your URL. I’ll look into this for you. Ticket can be sent in here: https://themeforest.net/item/podcaster-multimedia-wordpress-theme/6804946/support

Hi, when I go to update copy on a theme category page, I am getting a 500 internal server error when I try to submit the text edit. This never happened before I fully updated the theme and plugins yesterday. What could be causing this?

Hello, just letting you know, your email was replied to.

It will be nice to know how large theme files are and how many plug ins!

Hello, sure thing:

- installable theme file: ~19MB

- all files: ~ 24MB

The theme needs 6 plugins, of which: 2 are required, 1 is recommended, 3 are optional

I hope this helps and answers your question.

Howdy! How do I add a social media icon for iheart radio? https://www.iheart.com/podcast/ Thanks!

Hello, thanks for the feedback! Not possible yes, but this icon will be added to the social media options within the next update. You should receive an update notification by the beginning of next week.

I am also receiving the “Cannot load pt-one-click-demo-import.” after clicking Podcaster > Import Demo Data. The import page does not load and there is no log file in Media Library.

Doing some of my own research, it appears this needs to be updated within the theme: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-many-requests-pt-ocdi-plugin_page_setup-filter/#post-14280977

Is there any workaround until this is resolved?

Hello, just a heads up that your ticket has been replied to by email.

Hello, please, can this be used as a landing page for podcasters also ?

Hello, thank you for your interest in Podcaster!

Yes, this theme is meant to be used by podcasters. You can check all the types of demos available here and whether they suit your needs:

https://preview.themeforest.net/item/podcaster-multimedia-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/6804946?_ga=2.24123518.55580196.1621838893-2036101302.1621399932

If anything is unclear, just let me know.

Since upgrading, the player no longer appears in individual pages, but still appears on the homepage. Is this a bug?

Hello, I recommend checking on the Podcaster Media plugin, if you haven’t received a notification to update. It should be updated to version 1.3.

Simply follow the instructions found in the blue info box here: http://themestation.co/documentation/podcaster/#overview

Thank you! That did it.

Happy that worked for you. :)

Just purchased and installed Podcaster. Attempting to download the demo files for “Environment” theme. When choosing to import this (or any) demo I get the error: “Cannot load pt-one-click-demo-import.” What has gone wrong? Thanks.

Hello, just a heads up, your support ticket was replied to by email. :)

No email was received and nothing in SPAM folder. Can you please resend or reply here? Thanks!

That’s a bummer, not sure what is happening here. Sure, no problem. I’ll just quote the reply here:

Hello,

Welcome to Theme Station Support, I’ll get right to your question.

Not sure what might be causing this, but issues with importing demos are usually down to server settings. Some questions:

Are you able to see the demo import page at all?
Could you send a screenshot of the error page you're seeing?
Could you go to the Media Library and check if there is a log file? It should be called something like this: log_file_2021-x-xx__xx-xx-xx.txt. Please attach it to your reply.

If it is not down to the WordPress settings, you might have to contact your hosting company to look into the server settings. These might be blocking the import process.

Thank you.

Kind regards, Theme Station Support

Could we have a PocketCasts social icon in the menu please?

Hi, thanks for the feedback, this will be included in the next update.

Liking the theme very much, but quick question: The audio players do not show the file length before you click play on them, but instead show 0:00 – 0:00 (I noticed it was this way on the demos as well). Is there any way to fix this so that it shows the correct numbers (e.g., 0:00 – 20:37) before the user clicks play?

Hello! Happy to hear that! Sure, you can change this setting by going to Podcaster > Theme Options > Podcast > Players. Take a look at the “Preload” setting and choose “Metadata”. Now the duration of the tracks will be displayed.

Also, can the video podcasts in “orange” theme display a YouTube video instead of using the theme’s video player? Thanks again!

Hello, thank you for your interest in Podcaster. Yes, Youtube videos can be embedded instead as well.
