Podcasting also includes a player allowing visitors to your site to view the file on the web.

Features

  • Adds a dedicated Podcasting feed with full iTunes support
  • Includes the ability to have multiple podcasting feeds based on file format or other factors
  • Includes both an audio and video player for in-post listening/watching
  • Fully integrates with any existing enclosures already stored in WordPress
