Re­qui­re­ments

In order to use the app, you must run a set of certain software on your server. This is a pretty popular setup among podcasters in Germany, who don't use a paid service.

• Wordpress: Please make sure to run Wordpress version 4.4 (or higher). Also, the login-page wp-login.php needs to be accessible. Otherwise, you can use an Au­then­ti­ca­ti­on-plugin (see below).
• Podlove Podcast Publisher: You also need the Podlove Podcast Publisher-plugin for Wordpress, at least version 2.7.17 (or higher)). You have to enable the Podlove-analytics. Otherwise, the app wouldn't make a lot of sense for you
• HTTPS: Your server must have a valid SSL-cer­ti­fi­ca­te. If you don't have one yet, you might want to have a look at Let's Encrypt.
• User Account: Please note, that you need a Wordpress user account, that also can access the Podlove stats on the website. According to the Release Notes of the Podlove Publisher this user account must have the podlove_read_analytics-permission. This means, that the user account must be one of the following roles on an unmodified Wordpress-in­stal­la­ti­on: "author", "editor", or "admin".
• A Wordpress-Auth-Plugin (Optional): If you prefer to use an Au­then­ti­ca­ti­on-plugin for your Wordpress, just install one and use the creden­ti­als from this plugin to login. Podcast Analytics has been tested and used with Ap­p­li­ca­ti­on Passwords and, for de­ve­lop­ment purposes, with Basic-Auth. In older versions of the app (prior to 2021.1) this plugin was mandatory.
