We would like to move a podcast currently hosted at Simplecast, to Podlove. What’s the procedure for migrating a podcast that was previously not hosted on WordPress?
Does one have to manually recreate every single episode? There are 48 episodes in the archive.
Currently there is no “1 click solution” to migrate a Simplecast podcast to Podlove Publisher. It is probably doable with some basic scripting; however otherwise the only alternative is manual migration.
Downloading and reuploading all MP3s to your own location, probablly some sFTP directory.
Recreating episodes with episode metadata in WordPress/Podlove Publisher
Step 1 can be done with any scripting language that you’re most comfortable with, or manually.
Step 2 is probably best done in PHP so you have access to WordPress functions. XML can be parsed with simplexml_load_file(). Create episodes with wp_insert_post().
