Made changes to an episode at your podcast host, but your website still shows the old version? That's expected: Podpage imports each episode once, then keeps checking your feed for new episodes — it doesn't re-import changes to episodes it already has.
How to fix it
Option 1: Edit the episode on Podpage
- In your dashboard, go to Episodes → All Episodes and click Edit on the episode.
- Update the title, show notes, or anything else, then click Save.
Option 2: Re-sync your feed
- Go to Episodes → All Episodes and click Troubleshoot next to the feed status at the top of the page.
- In the Repair episode data window, choose one:
- Re-import Images — update each episode's image from the feed.
- Re-import Details — replace titles, descriptions, dates, numbers, and media links but keep images you've uploaded to Podpage.
- Re-import Data — replace episode details and images with what's in your feed.
- Delete and Re-import All — start fresh; helpful for oddities like duplicates.
Warning: The last three options overwrite any edits you've made to episode details on Podpage, and Re-import Images replaces any episode images you've changed.
Republishing an old episode?
Behind the scenes, every episode has a unique ID. If you re-date an older episode at your host, Podpage sees the same ID and won't import it as a new episode. Instead, go to Episodes → All Episodes, search for the episode, and update its date there.
Switching podcast hosts?
Podpage pulls episodes from whatever feed is saved under Podcast Info → RSS Feed, just like podcast players do. As long as your new host's feed includes your episodes, they stay on your website — update the feed URL there, and if you haven't made custom edits on Podpage, run Delete and Re-import All for a clean slate. See Does Podpage host my RSS feed? for how hosting and Podpage fit together.
