Seriously Simple Podcasting<\/a> plugin (SSP) into block bindings you can use in any block theme \u2014 no PHP or custom fields UI required. It also ships two ready-made archive templates and podcast-specific icons for the Social Links block.<\/p>\n\nWhat it gives you<\/h4>\n\n
Block bindings for episode data<\/strong> (source gt-podcast-bb\/episode-data<\/code>):<\/p>\n\n\nrecording_date<\/code> \u2014 formatted from the date_recorded<\/code> meta.<\/li>\ndownload_link<\/code> \u2014 the episode's audio_file<\/code> URL. Works on wp:button<\/code> (URL) and on wp:audio<\/code> (src<\/code>), so you can wire up a native HTML5 audio player straight from the meta value.<\/li>\npodcast_description<\/code>, podcast_title<\/code>, podcast_subtitle<\/code>, podcast_author<\/code>, podcast_owner_name<\/code>, podcast_owner_email<\/code>, podcast_copyright<\/code>, podcast_language<\/code> \u2014 pulled from SSP's Feed Details options.<\/li>\nsubscribe_url<\/code> \u2014 populates each wp:social-link<\/code> from SSP's Feed Details subscribe URLs. The plugin auto-derives the SSP option key from the block's own service<\/code> slug (e.g. applepod<\/code> \u2192 apple_podcasts<\/code>, feed<\/code> \u2192 rss<\/code>) via a filterable map (gt_podcast_ssp_service_map<\/code>), so no arg is needed for common services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nSeries-aware.<\/strong> On \/series\/{term}\/<\/code> pages the feed-detail bindings pick up the currently queried series first, then fall back to the site-wide default series (ss_podcasting_default_series<\/code>), then to the base SSP option.<\/p>\n\nPodcast-specific Social Links icons.<\/strong> Registers Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, CastBox, Podbean, and Podchaser as wp:social-link<\/code> services so they render correctly with the core Social Links block.<\/p>\n\nTwo bundled block templates<\/strong> (registered via register_block_template()<\/code>):<\/p>\n\n\ntaxonomy-series<\/code> \u2014 the Series taxonomy archive.<\/li>\narchive-podcast<\/code> \u2014 the Podcast post-type archive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nThemes can override either template by shipping their own templates\/taxonomy-series.html<\/code> or templates\/archive-podcast.html<\/code>; that is standard WordPress behavior, not a plugin quirk.<\/p>\n\nPlugin vs. Theme Responsibilities<\/h4>\n\n
When something doesn't render the way you expect, this chart helps you decide whether to fix it in the plugin or in your theme.<\/p>\n\n
Plugin owns (data + registrations):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n- All the bindings and helpers above.<\/li>\n
- Cover-image binding falls back to the post's featured image when no
cover_image_id<\/code> meta is set.<\/li>\n- Custom
wp:social-link<\/code> services (Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, CastBox, Podbean, Podchaser) via block_core_social_link_get_services<\/code>.<\/li>\n- Opting
core\/audio.src<\/code>, core\/video.src<\/code>, core\/video.poster<\/code>, and core\/social-link.url<\/code> into block_bindings_supported_attributes<\/code> (WP 6.9+) so those attributes accept bindings.<\/li>\n- Bundled
taxonomy-series<\/code> and archive-podcast<\/code> templates as sensible defaults.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nTheme owns (presentation):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n- Which template renders
\/podcast\/<\/code> and \/series\/{term}\/<\/code>, and its visual layout. Any theme file with the same slug will override the plugin's registered template.<\/li>\n- Button styling, spacing, column widths, typography \u2014 the plugin ships unstyled markup so your
theme.json<\/code> and CSS drive the look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nCommon gotchas<\/h4>\n\n\n- Template edits in the plugin folder don't appear on the site.<\/strong> Your active theme is probably shipping its own template with the same slug \u2014 that always wins. Edit the theme file, or remove it if you want the plugin's default back.<\/li>\n
- Bindings return nothing on
\/podcast\/<\/code>.<\/strong> That page has no queried series, so the plugin falls back to the ss_podcasting_default_series<\/code> option \u2014 set a default series in SSP's settings if none is configured.<\/li>\n- Audio bar doesn't play or download URL is empty.<\/strong> Make sure the episode has an
audio_file<\/code> meta value set (SSP's episode editor).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n- Upload the plugin files to the
\/wp-content\/plugins\/gt-podcast-bb<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
- The plugin requires Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin and Gutenberg plugin 21.1 or higher to be installed and activated.<\/li>\n
- Use the block bindings in your block editor to access episode and podcast data. <\/li>\n
- Use the social icon links to link to your podcast on popular directories.<\/li>\n
- Use the template to create an archive page for your podcast using the social icons and the block bindings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
0.4.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added:
subscribe_url<\/code> binding on the episode-data<\/code> source \u2014 populates each wp:social-link<\/code> from SSP's Feed Details subscribe URLs.

podcast_title<\/code>, podcast_subtitle<\/code>, podcast_author<\/code>, podcast_owner_name<\/code>, podcast_owner_email<\/code>, podcast_copyright<\/code>, podcast_language<\/code>.<\/li>\n- Added: audio and video block support \u2014 filter
block_bindings_supported_attributes<\/code> opts core\/audio.src<\/code>, core\/video.src<\/code>, core\/video.poster<\/code> into the bindings allow-list (WP 6.9+), so the audio block can play an episode's audio_file<\/code> directly.<\/li>\n- Added:
