This plugin appends an episode index to the anchor.fm podcast player. Currently, the only available embed for the anchor.fm player is for a single episode. This plugin allows you to add your entire episode index, just the same as you have on your anchor.fm site. Simply input your site and RSS URL’s on the settings page and add the shortcode to any page or post. Email me here for suggestions and feedback. Announcements Anchor Episodes Index Pro is available now! Learn more here Usage Firstly, install and activate Anchor Episodes Index (this plugin). Once activated, go to the settings and fill out the Anchor Site URL and Anchor RSS URL fields (be sure to add the URL’s without a “/” at the end, otherwise it will not work). Then copy the shortcode you’ll see on the settings page and paste it in any page or post. If you want to add multiple different podcasts on the site, you can define the RSS and Site URL’s as shortcode attributes instead of on the settings page. Note, you cannot currently output more than one player on one page. Shortcode examples Uses values set in the settings page: [anchor_episodes] Overrides values set on the settings page: [anchor_episodes site_url=”https://anchor.fm/your-podcast” rss_url=”https://anchor.fm/s/123456-your-key/podcast/rss” max_episodes=”10&#8243;]
