Make sure you remove the link from the url you insert into the shortcode, otherwise the html markup is embedded into the shortcode and the player will not work. Here is my process until this plugin is fixed:

1. Upload your audio file.
2. Copy the url for the uploaded file.
3. Paste the url into the post where I want the audio player to reside.
4. You’ll notice the link is hyperlinked which is bad. Highlight the URL you pasted and then click the unlink icon in the editor toolbar.
5. Then edit your url to look like this: [audio:https://url.com.of.your.audio.file.uploaded.in.step.1]

Basically you area adding the word “audio:” and brackets on the beginning and end.

Hope that helps. These steps at least allow for a functioning audio player but it’s not ideal. Hopefully an update is coming but I’m not holding my breath.

@mslocumm thanks a bunch! Worked like a champ! I figured the solution was a simnple php tweak but I had no idea what line to look at. Glad it’s working again. Hope it sticks after the next WP update.

at least you guys can still insert the audio tag manuallly and get it to work. When I do that it can’t find the target file when you click play. Anyone else have that behavior?

The manual method does not work for me. The player appears but says the file cannot be found. Kind of sucks since my site is audio-centric. Hope an update is coming but I won’t hold my breath. No updates for this plugin in 2 years!

update:

figured out the blank plugins page, it was a bad plugin so I deleted that from the ftp server and deactivated it. Then all the plugins re-appeared on the page. Don’t know why it freaked out, this particular plugin has been installed for days and never affected my plugins page. oh well!

Still really need to find a solution for the http error when uploading photos.

You could try adding:

User-agent: *
Allow: /

Tried adding that and the syntax checker at https://tool.motoricerca.info/robots-checker.phtml didn’t like it.

You do have a javascript error in IE and quite a few validation errors – some of which are significant.

Not sure how to go about fixing these errors. I fixed a couple tags that were obvious to me. Most of the errors seem to be related to YouTube links that I’m not sure what to do with.

Might be a good time for a move. What are some other good hosts? GoDaddy comes to mind but I have a feeling they might have just as many complaints as well since lots of marketing bucks doesn’t necessarily equate to a great host.

thanks to abird for the updated PHP. I too was having similar problems as many of you.

One thing I noticed now, what happened to the slider? There is now no way to move ahead in a clip. Can I get that back?

ok, got it fixed. I deactivated a number of plugins and reactivated one at a time followed by doing and update of the plugins that had updates available and they all installed properly. Seems one of the deactivated plugins allowed me to update again, weird.

UPDATE:
I think it was the WP-DowloadManager 1.4.0 that was the problem. When I activate that, no plugins will install. When I deactivate, plugins install normally.

that gets stuck in the unpacking stage as well.
