**AiO Podcast Studio** is a complete WordPress podcasting plugin built for creators
at every stage — whether you are showcasing an existing show, self-hosting your
own podcast, or migrating from a third-party platform.
Whether you already have a podcast and want to display it beautifully on your WordPress
site, prefer to host everything on your own server for full control, or are ready
to move away from an external host entirely — AiO Podcast Studio handles every part
of the workflow: importing your feed, organizing episodes and participants, generating
a standards-compliant RSS feed, displaying your content with beautiful layouts,
and tracking listener statistics — all inside the WordPress admin you already know.
### Why AiO Podcast Studio?
AiO Podcast Studio fits wherever you are in your podcasting journey — display an

#### Podcasting 2.0 Support
The [Podcasting 2.0](https://podcasting2.org/) initiative (`podcast:` namespace)
extends the standard RSS format with richer metadata. The next release will import
and integrate these elements automatically when you sync your podcast feed:
* **Transcripts** — Import per-episode transcript URLs and types from `` tags.
* **Chapters** — Import chapter file URLs from `` tags.
* **Hosts & Guests** — Import hosts and guests with roles and images from `` tags.
* **Feed Lock** — Respect the `` flag during feed migration.
* **Stable Feed GUID** — Store the permanent feed identifier from ``.
If you import a podcast today and your feed already uses these tags, simply re-sync
your podcast after upgrading to pull in the new fields — no manual data entry required.
### Feedback & Feature Requests

## FAQ
### Does AiO Podcast Studio support video podcasts?
Yes, with the Premium upgrade. The core plugin supports audio podcast episodes.
Video podcast publishing and video playback in the built-in player require the Premium
upgrade. The RSS feed correctly identifies the media type for each episode regardless
of tier.
### Can I import my existing podcast from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or another host?
Yes. Paste your public RSS feed URL into the importer (**Podcasts Add New Podcast
Import Podcast from RSS Feed**). The plugin fetches the feed, creates the podcast
and episode records, and pulls in metadata and artwork. Your original audio files
are not re-uploaded — episode enclosure URLs continue to point to your existing
host unless you re-upload them.
### Is there a limit on the number of podcasts or episodes?
No. You can create an unlimited number of podcasts, episodes, categories, tags,
and participant profiles.
### Does the RSS feed work with Apple Podcasts and Spotify?
Yes. The generated feed follows the RSS 2.0 specification extended with the iTunes
podcast namespace — the same format required by Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon
Music, and most other directories.
### Does the plugin support multiple podcasts on one site?
Yes. Each podcast is an independent post with its own RSS feed URL, settings, episodes,
and participants.
### Where are statistics stored?
All statistics data is stored in your own WordPress database. No data is sent to
external services.
### Is the plugin translation-ready?
Yes. All user-facing strings use the `aio-podcast-studio` text domain. The plugin
ships with a `.pot` template file in the `languages/` directory.
### Does the plugin work with caching plugins?
Yes. Standard page caching is compatible. The RSS feed is generated server-side
on each request; if you use a full-page caching plugin, exclude your podcast feed
URLs from the cache or use the feed caching recommended in the plugin settings.
### Is the plugin compatible with multisite?
Yes. The plugin can be installed on a WordPress Multisite network, but it must be
activated individually on each site. Network-wide activation is not supported.
### Where can I report a bug or request a feature?
Please open a support thread on the WordPress.org plugin support forum.

## Changelog
#### 1.0.1
* Fix: RSS imports could fail with a “The connection to the server was lost” error
on shared hosting when downloading featured images for large feeds. Episodes
are now imported in time-bounded, automatically resumable batches so imports
complete reliably regardless of the host’s request execution limit.
* Tweak: Lowered the per-image download timeout and reduced the import batch size
while featured-image downloading is enabled, keeping each request well within
typical shared-hosting limits.
#### 1.0.0
* Initial release.
