Can't have the embedded players to play

Mixcloud-Embed admin page reloaded… correct colour code is displayed (ffcc00) with no hash before it.

Emptied caches in Safari, reloaded website, navigated to the page, cloudcast displays but the same error occurs I’m afraid.

Emptied caches in Safari

It’s not about the browser cache, but about WordPress Caching mechanisms (e.g. plugins like W3 Total Cache and friends). Clean these caches after your settings changes. Alternatively, you could try to edit your blog post and reload it. As soon as you can see the edited version, the embed should work correctly.

OK thanks!

I don’t think I have anything like W3 Total Cache installed. My plugins are as follows:

Askimet
Google Analytics for WordPress
Hello Dolly (deactivated)
Mixcloud Embed
Wordpress Database Reset

I just edited the blog post with “OOMPAH LOOMPAH OOMPAH LOOMPAH!!!!” above the cloudcast, reloaded it and saw the edit right away.

Sadly, the same error is occurring…

Oh, there might be a second bug (yay) such that the setting actually does not take effect – I believe in line 73 of mixcloud-embed-ui.php it should say mixcloud-embed_player_color instead of mixcloud-embed_color and GetOption('player_color') instead of GetOption('color')… This would explain why your changes do not take effect and why there was initially an empty value in the field.

However, before these issues are fixed in the plugin (hopefully the plugin author will have a look at that), you should be able to use this workaround: Use
color="ffffff"
as a parameter in your [mixcloud] tag. So, for example, use the following:
[mixcloud color="ffffff"]https://www.mixcloud.com/danbooth7330/pixillated/[/mixcloud]

Good luck ?? and please let me know whether this worked for you.

Hairy Heron! You rock! Thank you very much indeed for your help! It’s all working fine again now ??

I added the parameter you told me to so the full embed code now looks like this:

[mixcloud width=”600″ height=”600″ iframe=”true” playlist=”false” color=”ffffff”]https://www.mixcloud.com/danbooth7330/pixillated[/mixcloud]

Once again, many thanks!
Dan.

I had this same issue, and just adding the color=”ffffff” attribute to my tag fixed it. Thanks!
