    Great plugin, easy to use! One quick question, is there a setting to turn off autoplay on audio files? Our button links to an mp3 and when clicked, it starts playing automatically. I’d prefer to have the default OFF but could not find a setting for that. Thanks!

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately at present we don’t have an option available to disable the audio autoplay.

    Kind regards

    @debbiet , you can enable “PHP Dispatch or Redirect” option on download edit page. This would force your file to be downloaded by browser rather than played.

    I guess I missed your reply from two weeks ago. I ended up zipping the audio files so that they didn’t auto-play, which forces people to download the file (same result as enabling PHP Dispatch or Redirect). If you end up making changes to the plugin in the future, maybe you’ll consider an option for Auto Play On or Off so people are not forced to down files?

    Thanks for your reply!

    That is something that actually comes from the browser. The following tutorial has good explanation:
