Audio players disappears

Hey puntlandes!

I found your post by googling about the same issue on my site.

Yup, it’s exactly as you described — I’ve been using the default, WordPress functionality to deal with audio files. Just upload my MP3 and let WordPress’s editor turn it into the actual <audio> tag on the frontend.

But today I noticed that the audio player isn’t appearing. The HTML for it still seems to exist when I look at my webpages’ source, but the player just isn’t appearing.

I tested in other browsers, and it seems to be the same across them all.

My only guess is maybe it’s something to do with the recent update. I recently installed WordPress 4.5 . Perhaps it’s a bug?

Tell me, puntlandes, did you also recently update?

are you using a plugin for audio player?

Hi Tara!

I don’t know about puntlandes, but for me, no, I’ve been using WordPress’s default functionality —

‘Add Media’, choose MP3 file, ‘Insert’.

The really curious thing to me is the <audio> html is being generated. I’m seeing it when I view my pages’ source. So I’m really baffled as to why it’s not working anymore.

And it seems to be a cross-browser issue too — Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari, all fail. It’s strange.

Hi all,

I’m also having the same ‘audio player not displaying in the page problem’.
As archedmandible states it’s the default player, shows up fine in the editor but not on the page, this is also since update to 4.5

Any thoughts?

what is your site’s address?

Hi sterndata

It;s a friends site in Vietnamese so I have set up a test audio page at
https://minhtrietviet.net/a0011_test/

Also I just updated another friends site, I had a player before the update and it disappeared after the update, you can see a test page at

Cheers

Hey everyone.

My page with the audio is:
https://method.moda/interview-portrait/ricardo-meade-interview-portrait

Another, older post that had one was:

Hope that helps. Eager for your feedback!

Look at the error highlighted here:

That’s the problem. Make sure your plugins and theme are up to date.

Thanks sterndata

I’ll check the post and try to fix it.
The theme was made a few years ago with Artisteer, any thoughts on how to update this as I’m not sure what needed

Thanks Again

You need to see if there are any updates to your plugins or themes. If not, you’ll have to try to track down were that JS is used and fix it.

it should be

[a href="#"]

note the quotes

Thanks, sterndata.

Solving the Javascript error solved the issue.

Thanks Again, sterndata.

Finally worked my way through it.

All okay

Cheers

Yes i have the same problem and it is annoying. I have two domains that i did at the same time and one of them the audio players works perfectly and the other does not show at all! Someone please help.
