Powerpress Player doesn’t appears in FrontPage of my blog

Hi ghery,

Give this a try:
1.) Log in to your WordPress site
2.) Go to PowerPress >> Settings >> Website tab; click the PowerPress Shortcodes link on the left
3.) Scroll down to the Having Issues? section dropdown menu. choose the first option in the menu (Yes, please try to fix) and click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page
4.) Clear any site caches, if applicable
5.) If the problem persists, go back to the Having Issues? dropdown menu and choose the next option, repeating the process described above; if the second option doesn’t fix the problem, cycle thru all of the remaining options in the menu

If you exhaust all of the options in the menu and the problem remains, let me know.

Hi Shawn,
I tried all of the options in the dropdown menu “Having Issues” and the problem remains. Thank you.

Hi ghery,

Give this a try:
1.) Log in to your WordPress site
2.) Go to PowerPress >> Settings >> Website tab; click the Blog Posts and Pages link on the lefthand side
3.) Check the box next to Display player / links: WordPress Excerpts
4.) Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page
5.) Clear any site caches, if applicable

If that doesn’t help, you can consult this support documentation for troubleshooting options:

You may also want to contact the developer of the WordPress theme and see if they have any ideas.

Hi Shawn, I’ve checked the “Display player / links: WordPress Excerpts” option following yours 5 steps but the problem remains.

Now I read your troubleshooting and contact the OceanWP dev.

Thanks

Hi, may I piggyback onto this same question, since I’m having the same problem? Yesterday I updated my All in One SEO plugin, and afterward, my media player vanished from the top of all my posts (though the media player continued to appear on the archives page of my posts).

Shawn, the first strategy you suggested worked at restoring my media player. Quick question: Do I now leave my “Having Issues?” setting permanently in the “Yes, please try to fix” position? Now that the media player is working correctly, I tried putting the “Having Issues?” setting back in the “Everything is working” position, and my media player again disappeared. So I assume I should retain the “Yes, please try to fix” setting permanently. But I just want to doublecheck.

Thanks!

Yes, as long as the player is showing with that setting you can leave it on whatever “yes” answer worked for you.

@benzoid : Do you have some tips to search inside the “php files” on theme-wordpress installation, to add the “powerpress shortcode” ? Thank you.

Sorry for the late reply. No, you should not put the PowerPress shortcode inside PHP files. It goes on Pages or Posts on your site.

@benzoid ok, to see the player in a page I know that I’ve to put the [powerpress] shortcode inside the page; but to see the player in the front-page of wordpress (the blog automatic page) how can i do? Thanks

There are functions in PowerPress you can add to your theme, as well as other css tweaks, please see this page: https://blubrry.com/support/powerpress-documentation/powerpress-and-your-theme/

I think what you want to do is set your home page to blogroll mode then also make sure the Blubrry player appears in summary pages as well as full content pages. @benzoid can explain.

@amandato exactly! My wordpress configuration is set to blogroll mode. With default theme all is ok but with OceanWP no. I’ve contacted the OceanWP dev. but today no answer.

We have setting in PowerPress to display the player embed. Go to PowerPress settings > Website > Blog Posts and Pages, find the setting “Display player / links: WordPress Excerpts” and make sure it is checked.

If your player does not appear on the blogroll page after this option is checked, then your theme may not be using the_excerpt filter. If that is the case you have to talk to them about the lack of use of using WordPress built-in filters.

Thanks,
Angelo

@amandato I did it! I found the php file in the theme where “Displays post entry content” and I’ve add yours code:

echo $podcast_content = get_the_powerpress_content(); //Aggiunta manuale di PowerPress – GG
