Hi, I have been looking for a new podcast player that I could use in a Wordpress site. I have over 150 episodes as posts on the live site, but am super happy with Podlove after creating a few from scratch in the test redesigned site. Currently I do not see a way to move those posts into your episode format. I have already copied over the mp3 files but wasn’t able to import the xml file of the existing posts into Podlove. Please tell me there’s a way.
Hi,
Since you mention PowerPress, there should be an RSS feed. You can use this as the source to automatically import all episodes.
Here is a short video tutorial: https://youtu.be/s6jL6jk6hWk
I hadn’t thought of that. I will watch the video. Thank you!
Hallo Eric, I was able to upload the podcasts from the feed, thank you for that help. But then I belatedly realised that the feed was set to the WP default of 10 episodes. We have 150! How do I reset the onboarding so I can upload the 150 episodes? I changed the parameters so the feed now reflects the 150. I have already uploaded all the mp3 files. I have deleted the 10 episodes that first came through. Thank you SO much for your help, feel so close to this all working!
Okay, I went to GitHub, deactivated a few plugins that might’ve been caching, and added this code to my config.php file.
define(‘PODLOVE_TEMPLATE_CACHE’, false);
I was able to onboard all of the episodes and now need to style them. Somehow the images did not come with, though they did the first time, but I can take care of that. Excited to get this going!
Happy to hear you managed to progress. You do not need to reset the onboarding, you can just run it again on the same feed, and it will update the existing episodes, not create duplicates. But I don’t think that is explained anywhere 
Curious about the missing images on the second attempt. I need to look into it.
Once you have everything working, please remember to remove the PODLOVE_TEMPLATE_CACHE line from your config. That really helps with site performance.
