How to move your podcast from Wordpress

The easiest way to move your podcast from Wordpress to Acast.

Updated yesterday

How to move your show

Step 1. Create an account.

Create your account here, if you haven't already.

Step 2. Import your podcast

The first page you'll be brought to after creating your account will prompt you to Create New Show or Import existing Show.

If your podcast has already been submitted to Apple Podcasts, you can easily search for the podcast and select it for import.

Otherwise, you'll need to retrieve your RSS feed URL in the input field.

Step 3. Redirect your show

  • Install & Activate: Go to Plugins > Add New and search for "Redirection" by John Godley.

  • Find the Plugin: Instead of being under "Plugins," it is now located under Tools > Redirection.

  • Setup Wizard: If it's a fresh install, click through the "Start Setup" wizard (you can usually leave the default settings).

  • Add New Redirect:

  • Source URL: Enter your old feed path (e.g., /feed/podcast/). Tip: You only need the part after your domain name, starting with a forward slash.

  • Query Parameters: Set this to "Ignore all parameters" to ensure it catches all requests.

  • Target URL: Paste your full Acast RSS Feed URL.

  • Group: Set this to "Redirections."

  • Click Add Redirect.

How to Confirm Your Redirect is Working

  • Open your web browser and enter the address of your old RSS, and hit enter. If the redirect is working, you will be taken automatically to your new Acast feed URL.

  • If you are not taken to this new Acast feed URL, then wait ten minutes, clear your browser cache (or open in incognito/private mode) and try again.

Done!

Remember: it’s important that you keep your old account for a month after switching to ensure that the redirect is successful.
