player buttons show VmP what that mean?

The player buttons are rendered using a font via CSS. If you get letters that means the font has not been loaded. Anyway I tested your page both on Mac and on PC without any problems.

I have the exact same problem, but only on pages that also have the SoundCloud player embedded on the same page (which is a theme function). Must be a CSS thing with some colliding settings.

Examples:

Page with embedded SoundCloud player and mb.mini.AudioPlayer. Controls on the player don’t show: https://omnidextrous.info/hot-love/

Page without embedded SoundCloud player but with mb.mini.AudioPlayer: Controls show like expected: https://omnidextrous.info/kawai-wk40/

I don’t know what SoundCloud is, so probably don’t have it.

How do I get the font loaded? (this happens on IE and firefox for me, and also happens on all 4 of our PC’s here at home wifes and mine also)

Just want to know how to fix it, thanks

I mean, is it a font I have to install separately on my computer? or are wa talking about a CSS error I don’t understand?

Hi,
the font is included and embedded by the plugin itself. The problem could be that your CSS is in conflict with the plugin CSS or that the font file has somehow the wrong permissions and the browser is unable to load it for that.

From version 1.3.7 to 1.3.8 nothing is changed for the font inclusion.
Try if the buttons are rendered well restoring the previous version (1.3.7) from here: https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/wp-miniaudioplayer.1.3.7.zip

Thanks for the reply. Using an older version didn’t solve it for me. I’ll do some “research” on a test installation using different themes next weekend. Right now, the problem only appears on pages with embedded SoundCloud player, but since this player is embedded in an iFame I can’t image the player itself is causing the problem since iFrames shouldn’t affect the page that embeds it. It’s probably something with the way my theme embeds this player iFrame. I really like your plugin, so I’m going to find out what is wrong no matter what! ??

yeah metoo Ruben, if it has something to do with the theme, I can try switching themes see if that has any effect. I didn’t write this theme I’m using so I don’t know anything about that. I can also try checking the permissions. What has me stumped is I didn’t notice this until I upgraded from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8, but that could also mean what you said about permissions issue, I’ll check that though

I don’t know I’m still stumped. I tried changing permissions to the entire directory to 0755 still no luck. I also tried switching to the default theme in wordpress, still same problem. now I’m going to try converting back to 1.3.7

Ok well I’m still at a loss. backing up to 1.3.7 didn’t work, changing permissions didn’t work, switching to the deafult theme didn’t work either. Now I am at a loss as to what could be causing this..

heck I even tried changing the entire plugins directory files and directories to 777 that still didn’t work. don’t know what else to try. tried the twenty ten, twenty eleven, twenty thirteen default themes still same problem…

I too like this plugin ??

It’s a bit odd it isn’t working for you with the default theme because for me it is. Well, depends on what you call the default theme of course. Did you try the brand new TwentyThirteen or the previous default theme TwentyTwelve? Also, did you try with disabling plugins? Maybe there’s a conflict with some of the plugins you use.

“Lucky” for me the problem on my site is only with pages that have SoundCloud embedded on them, not on regular pages. This SoundCloud embedding is a theme feature with some extra formatting, so the problem must be somewhere in the added code for this. I’ll try to sort out the differences between these SoundCloud and normal pages and determine what is causing the problem.

[Edit] Didn’t read your message correctly. You already mentioned the themes you tried. ;-)[/edit]

Since you (bubazoo) wrote that reverting to an older version didn’t solve the problem, it got me thinking; maybe it was not a plugin update that broke it but a WordPress update. I’ll start out doing some tests using the previous version of WordPress with the previous version of the plugin and see where it goes wrong when I update stuff…

You might be right, because I do remember it working at one time. I actually remember it working fine before version 3.6 came out. last version I remember it working fine in was 3.5.2 if I recall. I could be wrong on the exact version, but yeah you could have a point.

yeah I tried disabling all plugins, and I also tried all the other default themes (twenty-eleven, twenty-thirteen, etc) like I said I do remember it working at one time. I only noticed this problem with it maybe a week or two ago. It may have been going on before that I don’t know but didn’t notice it until a week or two ago. I know a month ago it was working cuz thats when I created the page, so yeah you could be onto something about the wordpress update.

Still having this problem..

I have tried deleting and reinstalling the plugin several times,

I don’t know what else to do. If we don’t come up with a fix I’ll have to stop using this plugin and find something similar.

I am running wordpress version 3.6.1 (latest as of this writing)

the plugin says its compatible with up to 3.6.1 but it must not be because I didn’t always have this problem. its only been in the last couple wordpress releases, so its gotta be an incompatibility with wordpress thing, otherwise why would it work in previous versions of wordpress but not in the latest one?

I can’t be the only one having this issue. Please tell me I’m not the only one. Either way I don’t know what to do about it and if someone doesn’t help me I’m going to have to stop using this plugin.

thanks

Hi,
Just checked your page (https://www.tacoburn.com/music/) again with all the browsers (FF, Chrome, IE8/9/10 on a PC and FF, Chrome, Safari on a Mac) and the players display correctly.

So the problem is not related to the plugin itself neither to the WP version, but it is related to your browser installation or something on your SO.

Sorry but I really can’t solve your problem.

Bye,
Matteo
