Searching and grouping shows on your network site

The bigger your network gets, the harder it is for listeners to find the right show. Network sites have two tools to help: one search across the whole network, and an option to group your Shows page by category.

Available on Network plans.

Network-wide search

The search on your network site covers every show in your network. Visitors can find shows, episodes, videos, blog posts and pages from a single search box, and results come from all of your shows at once. There's nothing to set up.

Group your Shows page by category

By default, your Shows page lists every podcast in one grid. Turn on grouping to split it into sections by category.

  1. In your network's dashboard, go to Pages → Shows.
  2. In the Layout section, turn on Group Shows by Category.
  3. Click Save.

Your Shows page now has a section for each category, and your site's navigation gets a matching dropdown so visitors can go straight to a category.

Where the categories come from

Each show is grouped by the Apple Podcasts categories listed in its RSS feed when it was added to your network. A show with more than one category appears under each one. Shows without a category are listed under Uncategorized, at the end of the page.

A show is in the wrong group? Check the categories in that show's feed with your podcast host. If you've changed them and the show still isn't grouped correctly, contact support.

Managing your list of shows

To add, remove or reorder shows, go to Shows at the top of your network's dashboard sidebar. The list shows each show's episode count, when it last synced and when it was added. See Adding a new show to your network.
