The podcast feed is not recognized because Rapid weaver sets for the addresses of the podcast files “ **https: / www**.” instead of “https: **//** www.” ! Can I change it myself or is there an update for it. ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-08-28 um 12.22.53](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/a/d/ad5dacda7ce11f7db4e1139765b8353a83133339.png) ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-08-28 um 12.09.46](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/4/54e7e2bee97fb141baf173b02c3f55fd68029fe3.png) ---

Is the website address set correctly in **Settings \> General \> Web Address**? It might also help to stipulate what _version number_ of RapidWeaver you are using. ---

Version is 8.6.2 , and that was the first thing I checked, it was [https://www.aufdenhundgekommen.info/](https://www.aufdenhundgekommen.info/) and therefore actually correct. ---

My subscribers tell me now, that the pod catchers no longer recognize the feed. Now I have real problems! ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/b/4/b453e3be1fff34d4a0537a0521f83847bb96cc9b.jpeg) ---

Have you opened a support ticket with Realmac Software, the developer of RapidWeaver? This community forum is mostly staffed by volunteers, so we can provide _“have you tried”_ type advice, but regretfully we don’t have access to the inner workings of RapidWeaver or your detailed publishing / console logs. Short term, you can probably open the published XML files in your favourite code editor, via FTP, and do a quick search and replace on the faulty links, to manually fix them. Save the changes when done. You can use any free code editor for this task, like [Atom](https://atom.io/) or [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/). Another option is to adjust your .htaccess file and add a new rewrite rule. Set it up to redirect all instances of `https:/www` to `https://www`. Therefore the faulty links will resolve. The hosting company might be able to advise you on this. Long term, I would think any fix would need to be provided by Realmac in an update. ---

Thank you for help! I contacted Dan, until then I’ll try that with the .htaccess file. ---

I found a solution! But the problem has existed since 2018. If I enter the address with https: // … under Settings-\> General-\> WebAdresse:, the error arises that addresses in the feed are partially displayed as https: / … . (see picture above) and the feed is not validated and is not recognized by many podcatchers. But if I set the setting to http: // under General, the feed is output correctly without errors, and also validated and recognized by pod catchers. So if you want a feed that is recognized and works you have to set it to http: // in the settings, although my page from the server runs on https. Isn’t it strange? ---
