iTunes Not Recognizing Category

Hi Thomas, thank you for the reply.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, does this mean I have no control over what categories I want the podcast to be put in on itunes?

I just noticed I didn't attach the screenshot of the categories I had selected in global.

The settings you have screenshoted are the iTunes Categories. These define where your podcast will appear in Apples iTunes directory.

On the other hand, there are SermonSpeaker categories. Those are created within SermonSpeaker and can be named whatever you want and can be nested.
Those categories have nothing to do with iTunes. Their sole purpose is to filter sermons (or series and speakers). Eg when you want to have one feed for the Saturday Youth Meeting and another for the Sunday Service, then you can use categories to filter the sermons.

Thanks Thomas, I'm not sure what is wrong then, when I validate the rss feed with itunes it seems to think the podcast should be in religion category and not in kids and family category.

I'll try again.

Sorry for delay in reply, notifications are going to spam, I'll need to whitelist the domain.

Thanks

What is the exact URL of your feed that you want to register in iTunes?

kiddiwinkles.co.uk/rss

As you can see, the categories in that feed are "Religion".
I assume "rss" is the alias of your menuitem. So it looks like the iTunes category settings aren't set correctly.
I'd say you only set the iTunes category in the global SermonSpeaker options that is used when no menuitem is active. Since you're using a menuitem, you need to make sure the categories are set correctly there as well.
