At https://matthewebel.net I use the Additional URL feature to point users to the RSS feeds for the site... except for some reason the first line isn't showing up at all! For example, here's what I have in the product's Additional URL field: Code: http://matthewebel.net/BackstageFeed|<img src="https://matthewebel.net/wp-content/themes/matthewebeldotnet/images/feed-icon-24x24.png" height="14" /> Get Your Downloads Automatically via iTunes http://matthewebel.net/BackstageFeed|<img src="https://matthewebel.net/wp-content/themes/matthewebeldotnet/images/feed-icon-24x24.png" height="14" /> Subscribe via RSS/Podcast https://matthewebel.net/backstage/member.php?tab=payment_history|View Payments/Cancel Your Subscription Yet here's what shows up: Notice the first line (Get Your Downloads Automatically via iTunes) is missing. Any ideas?
As far as I can see you have two exactly the same urls for first two links: http://matthewebel.net/BackstageFee http://matthewebel.net/BackstageFee So only one link is displayed. Change one url to something different.
What? Seriously? That's the reason? That's incredibly presumptuous... the software just assumes I dont have good reason to post the same link twice? Say, hypothetically, that a good chunk of my subscribers DON'T KNOW THAT AN RSS FEED AND A PODCAST FEED ARE THE SAME THING. Rather than field questions every week as to why there's only one link, just putting two identical links with different titles makes the problem go away. That's just one example, there are probably other reasons out there. My situation can be resolved by just calling it the "Podcast/RSS Feed", but since this limitation is undocumented I'd call it a bug that needs to be fixed.
This can be easily fixed. Just add ? or / at the end of any url: http://matthewebel.net/BackstageFee/ http://matthewebel.net/BackstageFee
If you are creating an iTunes specific podcast link you can also change your URL to include the itpc:// protocol identifier so the podcast will automatically be added to iTunes for them. Example: itpc://matthewebel.net/BackstageFee/itunes_feed.xml
