Q: Does Simplecast have a Wordpress plugin for publishing from Simplecast to Wordpress?
Not at this time.
There is a free, third-party plugin called Simcast that will allow you to publish episodes to your WordPress site: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simcast/.
Simplecast is not affiliated with the Simcast plugin and does not provide support for the plugin.
Please contact the developer with questions or support issues with Simcast.
Q: Is there another way to publish episodes on my WordPress website if I don't want to use the Simcast plugin?
Yes! It is a manual process, but it is pretty easy!
The best way to publish new episodes on your Simplecast is to add a new blog post and copy/paste your episode notes into the post.
Paste the iFrame embed code in the 'Text Editor' for each episode or use if you have the Simplecast short-code plugin installed, you can paste in the Short Embed Link to embed the Standard Player.
This will allow visitors to your site to listen and share your podcast directly from your WordPress website.
