Hi there ptinning4- sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I see that it’s working on your site now, can you describe what you did to make it work properly?

I’ll try to set up a WP instance with Constructor and see if I can reproduce the issue. What other plugins and widgets are you using?

You shouldn’t type the tag into a text widget. After installing the widget and the base plugin by Martin Laine, you should have an audioplayer widget on your widgets screen you can drag to the sidebar you want.

I created this widget to address exactly the thing you describe, namely that you can’t simply type the audio tag into the sidebar text. Using the widget should resolve that.

The text you described with the [audio:] tag is what the plugin is intended to do. I’m guessing your theme is interfering by not invoking the proper filters or bypassing the hooks that flag the audio player plugin itself to replace the tag with the reference to the player.

What theme do you use and how are you setting up the widget in that theme?

Please make sure you’ve installed the base audio player plugin. Without it, this widget will not work.

Please make sure you have the audio-player plugin installed. This widget simply enables additional functionality for the Audio Player Plugin that already exists. Without the base plugin, this widget will not show anything.

Hi AnhL- do you have the base WordPress Audioplayer Plugin installed?

Can you send a screenshot or a link to the page that’s showing the behavior?
