Our podcast is not showing our graphic and it is also showing as 'unknown'. I think I have everything set properly in the settings, but wondering if it is just user error. HAHA!!
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
I found your podcast on iTunes, but I can't see what you mean by "showing as 'unknown'" - it looks good to me.
As for the image - I think you need to edit the sermon-browser/sb-includes/podcast.php file (you can do that through the plugins section in Wordpress) and insert a line in the section to reference the image (see https://www.apple.com/au/itune.....specs.html and search for iTunes:image for the xml tags). You can also embed an image (cover art) into the mp3 files you upload to sermon browser and iTunes will pick that up.
For iTunes I think that image needs to be 1400*1400 pixels (https://www.apple.com/au/itune.....orfaq.html)
Another option is to pump the rss feed that Sermon Browser creates into feedburner.com. Feedburner has a interface for setting up a podcast for iTunes. The benefit of this would be that if you were to change the way your website worked (new address, different plugin) then you just change a few settings in feedburner but listeners wouldn't have to do anything different in iTunes (or whatever podcasting service they're using).

Thanks for the response Daniel. I guess I jumped the gun a little on my post. After four days of waiting, iTunes finally caught up to the changes. UGH!!
On a separate note, is there any way to post only a certain sermon series to iTunes. Currently all sermons that I post are being sent, but I just want our main sermon to show up.
I found a code snippet in the forums, but it keeps removing itself from the 'Public Podcast Feed' section and setting it back to default. This is the code I have added...
?podcast=1&service=1
Thanks again for the assistance!!

Glad that it worked - other forums seem to report that this is standard for iTunes.
With limiting the service - is the issue that the 'subscribe' button keeps reverting back to the full feed, rather than just the service=1 feed? Could you just 'hard code' the link to the URL you want to use?
Once again, you could do this through feedburner - send the &service=1 url into feedburner and then set feedburner as your public podcast feed (and submit that feed to iTunes). That's what we've done with the full feed (http://kenmore.org.au/resources/) though we don't used the builtin 'subscribe' feature from sermonbrowser and instead have the link in a widget.
