Thanks but I’m not using WooCommerce.
I created a an audio download product with a preview audio player, description pic, Payhip buy button etc and grouped them into a pattern. So I can place the same product on different pages.
I just wondered if it would be possible to have a search thing that would populate a page with these WP patterns – or to be able to list them on a page by category?
Thanks J

Ah ok thanks for this. Still no fix then I presume. Seems a fairly major problem

Thank you for the quick response that seems to have fixed the problem. J

Hi – yes just loaded a pre-release version that works fine. Audio players now working as before! That’s great thanks for your help.
Meant to ask do you do any work with companies like mine looking to improve the way we offer music downloads? I’m looking to improve the search facility and the way the list of music is presented.
I quite like the fact that SDM gives clients a very quick way to download what they need.

Hi
Thought it might be easier if I made a quick video of what is happening with the audio preview player not working in the Fancy 1 Template with SDM – but workiing fine if you just view the download post.

That’s with everything up to date including latest SDM and cleared caches in Chrome, Safari and Mobile.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Strange, def not working here.

Doesn’t work on Chrome or Safari or Mobile.
Have cleared cache on Chrome and Safari.
Can’t change the audio plugin – has to use the WordPress standard audio player – the whole library uses that player and it has always worked fine.

As before it works when you view the download post but not on a page with Fancy 1 – so it’s something to do with the fancy 1 template causing an issue.

Hi – tried the new version of Simple Download Monitor(3.9.19) but still have same issue.
Audio preview works if you view a download post but when on a page using the Fancy 1 template audio preview does not work.
Doesn’t work with WP Audio player of the Condensed Audio Player.
Any other ideas please?

Oh well thank you for letting me know. I wonder if the preview player actually shows unless you are logged in to the site so it may not be showing for non logged in users – but the problem does exist and is a strange one. Hope they get it fixed soon.

Thre is no issue with the download button or download or the audio within it that works fine for everyone.

The issue is as descirbed to do with the preview audio player not working.

I have contacted the developer – hopefully they can sort something quickly or we have to find a different way to preview the audio.

If I try and use the Compact Audio player as in the one in the post you mentioned – the player does not show at all!
As with the WP audio player it works fine when you just ‘view’ the download product but as soon as you try and display the download product in a page or post it fails. Either won’t play or won’t show the player at all.

So something in the ‘Fancy 1’ layout of the product that is fouling things up…?

Hi – I use this: [audio src="/preview/RachmaninoffVocaliseViolin.mp3"]

Which is just the standard WP audio player. I mean it’s worked for nearly ten years and then something is obviously stopping it playing on a page of tracks. Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I tried as suggested disabling the plugins – still won’t work and then tired with the 2023 theme but still won’t play.
Really strange as it work when you preview the download product but not when all the downloads are listed in a page.
Anything else I could try please?

Many thanks, Jonathan

Great thanks so much – works perfectly.

Do you know if there is a way to remove or change that little icon that sits in front of each entry in the latest posts list please?

Many thanks
Jonathan

Just to clarify – I mean the vertical space between the post exerpts in the ‘Recent Posts’ sidebar widget

OK – I don’t understand that directory doesn’t exist on my server?
