FAQ
How long does it take to generate a podcast?

* Blog articles and tutorials
* News articles and opinion pieces
* Educational content and how-to guides
* Product reviews and comparisons
* Personal stories and experiencesCan I edit the generated audio?
Currently, you can regenerate with different voices/instructions, but direct audio editing isn’t supported. We recommend adjusting speaker instructions and regenerating for best results.
What audio format is generated?
All podcasts are generated as MP3 files with high-quality 128kbps encoding, optimized for web streaming and downloads.
Where are audio files stored?
Audio files are stored in your WordPress uploads directory (
/wp-content/uploads/post2podcast/) and can be easily backed up with your regular site backups.Does this work with other content types?
Currently optimized for blog posts, but works with any content type that supports custom meta boxes (can be extended for pages, custom post types, etc.).
What happens to my podcasts if I cancel?
Generated audio files remain on your server and continue to work normally. You just can’t create new podcasts without credits or subscription.
Generation failed – what should I check?
Common solutions:
1. Verify you have available credits
2. Check WordPress Application Password is correct
3. Ensure content isn’t empty or too short
4. Try regenerating with different voice settings
5. Check plugin error logs in WordPress adminAudio player not showing?
Check:
1. Audio file exists in uploads/post2podcast/ directory
