SoundCloud Master Set Up

    Hi,

    I’m not a frequent SoundCloud user, so concise instructions would be awesome. I found it difficult to know where to find things and am wondering if you could help. I read through the documentation and it assumes quite a bit about the user’s knowledge of Soundcloud. Ok, on to my questions:

    1. Widget setup, box #2: what is my SoundCloud User Page link? Where exactly do I go to get that (haven’t used SoundCloud in ages),
    2. Widget setup, box #4: again, where? If I just paste in the url for a soundcloud track, the widget kicks me over to soundcloud on a new page. Obviously, I want the track playing in the widget. Apparently, there is something I must turn on first…but where it is eludes me,
    3. Eg., I went to Settings/shortcodes page and looked for the Individual Shortcode in the WP text editor. I wondered if there might be a conflict with the plugin since no short code buttons appear in the admin page or post visual (or text) editors, so I turned off all other plugins. But that didn’t seem to change anything. So…how and where do I go to set up to be able to use a short code?

    There are several other gaps and assumptions in the documentation, but rather than be critical, I’d like to find out why I’m not seeing any of the setup options anywhere. Can you suggest why that is and I’ll turn something on – that I may have carelessly overlooked? Other people apparently like your plugin and I’d love to give it a try. I’m sure you’ve put your heart and soul into this thing and I’d love to see how great it is!

    Hello danwpc,

    Regarding question 1 and 2, any track, set of tracks or profile link can be inserted into the player widgets and shortcodes.

    Regarding number 3. All widgets have a name and purpose. You are probably trying to insert player links on the buttons widget.
    The plugin add-ons page and the wordpress page also states what options and functionalities are available on the “lite” and “advanced” version of the plugin.

    Take a look here:

    Ah, I was wondering about #3 when I installed it then realized that the Individual Shortcode is a paid for plugin. I was having issues with the embedded iFrames loading on my page for mobile (still work but just very slowly) and this looked like an awesome solution. No way to test if it resolves my problem without buying, though. Too bad, looks like an awesome plugin.
