Have you recently migrated your show from Captivate.fm to RSS.com? Great! Now make sure directories and listeners can find you at your new home at RSS.com by placing a redirect on your Captivate.fm account.
Important: Do not place a redirect until your podcast is fully migrated to your new feed at RSS.com. To learn how to import your feed, read our article "How do I import my podcast from a different hosting provider?"
Redirects work like mail forwarding; They send anyone accessing your old podcast feed URL to your new feed URL. A redirect will also update all the podcast directories you distribute to, so you don't have to reach out to each one individually. We suggest keeping a redirect active for at least 45 days to make sure directories and listeners have time to be updated with your new address.
Where do I place the Redirect?
1. Log into your Captivate account.
2. Click on "Podcast Settings" located at the top of your dashboard
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select "Cancel Show"
4. Select “I’m moving my podcast elsewhere” and paste your RSS.com feed in the box “New RSS feed URL”
Click "Close Show and Add 301 Redirect"
Testing your redirect
If you want to check your redirect to make sure it's working properly, copy your Captivate.fm feed URL, and paste in a new tab of your browser. If the address automatically brings you to your RSS.com feed address, then it's working properly!
