Hello,
The following error message appears when trying to embed a podcast player as a bloc into an article or a web page:
RSS Error: XML or PCRE extensions not loaded!
I could check that both XML and PCRE are enabled in my phpinfo config:
$> php -i
xml
XML Support => active
XML Namespace Support => active
libxml2 Version => 2.9.12pcre
PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) Support => enabled
PCRE Library Version => 10.39 2021-10-29
PCRE Unicode Version => 14.0.0
PCRE JIT Support => enabled
PCRE JIT Target => x86 64bit (little endian + unaligned)
Directive => Local Value => Master Value
pcre.backtrack_limit => 1000000 => 1000000
pcre.jit => 1 => 1
pcre.recursion_limit => 100000 => 100000(@vedathemes)
Hi there,
Thanks for trying podcast player.
It seems there is some server configuration related issue. However, let’s check and confirm this.
1. Can you provide your feed URL? I will check for any possible error in that?
2. Try to display the feed in WordPress’s default RSS block or widget. If you face the same issue on this widget as well, then surely it is an issue with your server. You should then contact your hosting company to resolve this.
Inform if you need more help on this.
Thanks,

Hello,
Thank you for your quick answer.
Here is the feed URL: https://anchor.fm/s/12a326d8/podcast/rss
I have the same error message when I try the RSS block.
It seems to be an issue with my server then.
By any chance, do you know of any wordpress logs or debug option that could help me troubleshooting the issue (I’m hosting wordpress on a personal virtual machine) ?
Thanks,

Hello,
I confirm that the issue was related to the server.
The appropriate php-xml extension for the php version enabled on my site (php7.4) was not installed.
I ran the following which fixed the issue:
sudo apt install php7.4-xml
