WP Audio Player not displaying

  • I have a site built with Woo themes Memorable theme. I’m using the WordPress audio player short code, and when viewing the page in the visual editor the audio player displays properly and even plays. When the published page is viewed the audio player is not shown. It’s on the page but it’s hidden as can be seen by using an inspector. The theme has header.php and footer.php files and they are being called. The site’s footer is displaying properly. I’ve also tried some audio player plugins and they don’t display as well. I’ve googled this extensively and have followed all the suggestions. I’ve disabled all plugins on the site to no avail. I’ve disabled all the plugins in my browser and I’ve tried various browsers and this issue has been confirmed by others as well. You can see the issue at https://p2pchildbirth.staging.wpengine.com/test/.
    Thanks in advance

    I’m not sure why, but the player has “visibility:hidden” as an inline style.

    See https://screencast.com/t/30dOa3Ta2w

    How are you inserting the player?

    Thank you for your reply sterndata. My understanding is the player is embedded hidden, and then when the page is rendered and the footer is called then the player is initialized and displayed. So it’s normal that as the page is loaded (but before it’s finished loading) that the player would be hidden, but it shouldn’t be that way when the page is done loading.

    aha… thanks for the clue

    When I look at your page, I see jquery/javascript errors in the console. You appear to be trying to load your own version of jquery instead of what’s supplied with WordPress and it’s a 404, so AFAICT, jquery is not being loaded.

    Thanks! Yes, I’m trying to find the source of that error. I was just troubleshooting with the host (WPEngine). Disabling plugins doesn’t eliminate it. Switching themes does. I’m trying to dig into that and see what’s going on.
