Podcast Composer is packed with professional-grade features to help you manage podcast distribution at scale.
Multi-Source Indexing
Add as many source feeds as you need. The plugin indexes them locally, allowing for lightning-fast searching and mapping of episodes across different shows.
Smart Episode Mapping
- Drag & Drop Reordering: Easily change the sequence of episodes in your new feed.
- Bulk Actions: Select multiple episodes and add them to an output feed with a single click.
- Orphan Detection: If a source feed is deleted or an episode is removed from the original source, the plugin alerts you so your distribution stays healthy.
Comprehensive Metadata Overrides
Every episode in your output feed can be customized. You can override:
- Episode Titles & Descriptions.
- Artwork (Show or Episode level).
- Explicit tags.
- Episode/Season numbers and types (Full/Trailer/Bonus).
Pro-Level RSS Support
The engine generates feeds that are 100% compliant with industry standards:
- Apple Podcasts: Fully supports
<itunes:>tags. - Podcast Index: Includes modern tags for Transcripts, Chapters, and Funding.
- Spotify: Optimized for Spotify's delivery specifications.
High-Performance Caching
Podcast feeds are generated once and cached via WordPress Transients. This ensures that even if you have thousands of subscribers hitting your feed at once, your server remains fast and responsive.
Automatic Sync
The plugin check for source updates in the background. When a new episode is released on an original source feed, it automatically appears in your "Available Episodes" library, ready to be mapped.
