Thank you again James. I have just asked my question on their site. Hopefully someone will have a suggestion for me. ??
Thanks again.

What I would like is to have it appear as their template shows on this page: https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-audio-music-player-plugin-4556

I just upload the sermons files via the Word Press uploader and have been just using them as downloadable files since that’s how it was set up. but I think it would be nice to have an actual player for people who do not want to download.
Anyway, I have to go. So sorry. I will check when I get back next week. I am only here Thur and Fri. But I might check from home too.
Thank you! ?? Have a nice 4th of July!

I’m sorry if I’m not doing this right James. And thank you for being so patient. I have to close up the office in a minute. I work at a church and this is their site. I upload sermons.

the site is immanuelpca-mesa.org

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/compact-wp-audio-player/

I’m actually using this one, but I have just changed it back as I have to leave work soon and I don’t want to leave their page not working.
[sc_embed_player_template1 fileurl=”https:// immanuelpca-mesa.org/html/wp-content/uploads/sermons/01 Our Keeper.m4a”]

Shouldn’t that one work? Or, have I messed it up somehow? I copied what they posted on their page and added my url info.

Thank you again. I won’t be back until next Thur. and Fri. ??

Anyone have any other ideas to get the music player to appear and work? I no longer get an error msg.
I am using m4a files because that is what they have been using on the site. I would rather not make a change.

I’ve tried this, but it does not play.
[sc_embed_player_template1 fileurl=”https:// immanuelpca-mesa.org/html/wp-content/uploads/sermons/01 Our Keeper.m4a”]

OK, good! Thank you! I just have to figure out where to go to get the help I need with the audio player.
Thanks so much James!

Oh! Thank you James. I didn’t realize they were different. So since I’m on a self hosted site, and can do whatever I want to, does that mean I can’t get help from Word Press with plugins?

Thanks again! ??

The strange thing is the error message says that I specified a short code which is does not recognize, and I didn’t do anything but upload a file. The short code is already in there.
[audio:%SERMONURL%]
Am I supposed to change this? And if so, to what?
Another thing is I want the music player to appear but it doesn’t. There is only a download link appearing no matter what I do.
??

I decided to convert one file to mp3 and even though I still get the error message, the simple player is now showing on the page and the sermon plays from the site rather than having to be downloaded. I’m not sure if this will be ok as it will increase the bandwidth used. I have to find out how much we are allowed on the site I guess. I’m new to this site and finding my way around.

Thank you all for the help.

Cheryl

This is what I see…. any help is appreciated.

MP3 shortcode:
Default: [audio mp3="%SERMONURL%"]
[audio:%SERMONURL%]
Sermons per page: 10
Filter type: Drop-down
One-click
None
Minimize filter

Thank you Bryan. But I’m using m4a files and not mp3. Should I convert them before uploading? I am still confused. ??
Thank you for your patience and help.

Cheryl

I would rather continue to upload to Word Press, so would I need to change the format of the file? Is that what the “shortcode” is about? Just wondering.
And thank you for your suggestion. I just don’t think the church wants to have to pay for a place to store the files. But it’s something I will speak with them about.
