Audio "How to"

    – I have an audio file (36mb) uploaded to my File manager.
    – I am using WP to build my pages
    — WP won’t let me “drop” this file onto its page (limit 10 mb), nor do I know how to link to the file. I have tried for days.

    Any help would be appreciated. Speak slow. : )

  • Using the Text editor (not the Visual tab):

    In the page/post where you want the audio control to appear, enter:

    <audio width="300" height="32" preload="none" controls="controls" src="https://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/my_audio_file.mp3"></audio>

    Where:

    – using your FTP program, you uploaded my_audio_file.mp3 to wp-content/uploads
    – yoursite.com is of course your URL
    – my_audio_file.mp3 is the name of your audio file
    NOTE: NO SPACES in the file name!

    These settings will:

    – show the audio control
    – NOT auto start
    – will not loop

    Actually, I hit the road to see a friend at DTS. We uploaded a mediaelements.js plugin and then linked my audio file to it. Works like a champ.

    Thanks for all your help.
