Our podcast has incorrect meta information on the iTunes store — the author is listed as "Unknown" and the category is listed as "Buddhism". Additionally, the main podcast picture is blank, and will not update.

I've tried everything I can think of — even manually edited the podcast.php file in the sermonbrowser plugin folder. All of the incorrect info was missing from the podcast.php file (there was no author, the category was "religion and spirituality" with no subcategory — which I understand makes it default to "buddhism" as it's the first subcategory alphabetically, etc).

It's been several months, and nothing at all works. Is there anyone who might have some insight as to why it's not changing.

Our iTunes link is http://itunes.apple.com/us/pod…..d306939248

And the link on the website is http://www.citychurchftl.com/w…..-teaching/
under the "sermon audio" option.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks @bookfreak — I'm afraid I still don't understand though. I'm pretty new to this.

Here's the contents of our podcast.php file — do you notice anything out of place?
Thanks again!

Just to make sure that I'm sending (and editing) the correct file, this is from /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sermon-browser/sb-includes/

Thanks again!

Thanks so much! I'll let you know how it goes!
