Visibility, Social Media & Suggestions for future versions

    Am I reading the FAQ incorrectly or is the widgets this plugin uses only visible by the profile owner & admin or do you mean the actual fields you see in settings where you insert the relevant links? It says “The profile fields created by this plugin are set to only be seen by the user and admin’s only. People looking at a user’s profile page shouldn’t see any of these fields.” If an ordinary user cannot see the player or music can that be made possible? Can the profile owner select who he wants to see the widgets, for example ‘Only Me’ ‘Public’ ‘Friends Only’.

    Also, I’m surprised there aren’t more options to complete for the actual Social Media links. Many of those you allow for the various players aren’t even included. Is it possible to at least add those in future? I did look at the options to try to manually add but when I found there was no images folder including the various logos I figured they were pulled from official sites somewhere.

    Thanks for a good plugin, it has the potential to be very popular indeed amongst musicians using wordpress.

    Hey coremedia,

    Ah, no you are reading it incorrectly. The widgets themselves are visible to the public. The profile fields where the URL for the service player/page/profile are entered are not visible. In case that’s not clear, here’s what I mean:

    Your site hosts a network of musicians. Each musicians has a profile page. When they (or you) edit their profile page, they would see a field for music player URL. They enter their SoundCloud player’s URL (or one of the other services). The music player widget on that musician’s profile page is then populated with their SoundCloud player and it is visible to the public. What the public does not see if the field where the musician enters the URL.

    As for the Social Media links, I’m not sure what if you understand the purpose of this plugin. It doesn’t display links to the social media pages, it displays players, galleries, etc, from the various services. The example above would also apply if the musician wanted to display a photo gallery from their Flickr account, or an RSS feed from their site, or a video (or playlist) from their YouTube channel. The widgets don’t display links, it displays the players, etc themselves.

    Make more sense?

    I’ve debated adding a links widget as well, but haven’t had the time to actually add it. I may do that in the future.
