Note: There is no "one size fits all" redirect. Therefore, we recommend logging into Megaphone and contacting us via Live Chat to walk through the process together. Below are general guidelines. 

1) Sign into your Wordpress Admin account for the domain that hosts your podcast

2) Open PowerPress and then select "Settings"

3) Expand the "Advanced Options" section and click to enable "Custom Podcast Channels" and press "Save Changes"

4) A new "Podcasts Channels" section will appear in the left-side menu. Open PowerPress and select the Podcasts Channels option

5) Move your mouse over the name of the podcast you're redirecting and you will see the "Edit" link appear. Click Edit

6) Open the iTunes tab and check the "iTunes New Feed URL" option

7) Add your Megaphone RSS feed URL in the "New Feed URL" field and push "Save Changes"

8) Next, navigate back to your Wordpress admin account

9) Choose Plugins > Add New from the sidebar

10) Search for the "redirection" plugin and find the one shown below. Choose "Install" and then "Activate"

11) Under the "Redirects" tab, add your original RSS feed to the "Source URL" field. Then, add your Megaphone RSS feed to the "Target URL" field. Press "Add Redirect"

12) After you've saved the redirect, test that it is setup be navigating to your Source URL feed (original RSS) and checking that it redirects you to your Megaphone feed (this can take approximately 10 minutes to update; if you are having trouble be sure to also clear your cache and try again/use an incognito mode)
