[Plugin: SoundCloud Shortcode] Player sticks out of posts after update.

Could you post an example of a shortcode you used?

Thanks for your help

the shortcode I used is: [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/50795683″ params=”auto_play=false&show_artwork=true&color=000000″ width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]

I doubt its the code I use though, the same players with the same code were fitting perfectly last week.

Cheers

That does indeed look like a bug. As a quick fix; please check if the “default width” field is empty in your plugin settings.

Yeah, its blank. Changing it to 50% for instance doesnt change anything.

btw, do you think this happened after the update? And if so, how do I go back to a older version?

Hmm, I think I figured it out. It looks like the theme you are using has set a $content_width = 608. That overrides the default 100% because oEmbed doesn’t support percentage values. That is really shitty, but I can’t think of a good way around it right now because it’s WordPress doing this, not the plugin.

There are 3 ways to fix it:

1. Change the $content_width value in the functions.php of your WordPress theme to 500 (hardest fix)
2. Change the “default width” in the plugin settings to 500 (easiest fix)
3. Manually change the width in your shortcode (most annoying fix) [soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/50795683" params="auto_play=false&show_artwork=true&color=000000" width="500" height="166" iframe="true" /]

I’d go with option 2. Remember you can’t use percentage values unfortunately. Let me know if that works.

Besides that I’ll try to fix it in another way and push an update soon.

I just pushed an update (version 2.2.3), for some reason I can’t see it yet, but hopefully you will get an update notification soon. This will fix your issue. In the meantime, please try one of the suggestions above. Sorry for the bug and thanks for reporting it.

I just recieved the update and it’s working now. Thanks a ton!
