Audio links not working correctly on the site

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    I’m a newbie. Even though I’ve been posting for over a year now this is my first attempt to really get into the nitty gritty of this blog world. Just to let you know what you’re working with if you choose to respond with words of encouragement and help I was unable to find out what version of WordPress I am using.

    I do know the theme however: Zoren.

    I’m having a issue with audio links on the blog. I post poetry and songs.

    I was at a friends house and he told me he was having an issue with the audio links not working which was accurate. Also, the audio links are not showing up on the post in the reader or on the site unless you click on view original then go to the post directly. So, most people might just think its a poem and never get a chance to listen to the song which brings me much sadness. For whatever reason when I do click on the original post the audio does work for me. But, on my friends computer the audio link would show up but not play.

    Here is a link to the website if you would like to check it out.

    Out of the kindness of your heart if you have any suggestions relating to how I can make my blog better or how I can fix this audio issue it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time and God Bless.

    Hi,
    I’ve taken a look at your blog and I don’t seem to find the Audio Links, even when I click inside a post, it only shows me the song or poem.
    Can you point me to a section where I can check up the Audio links in your blog?
    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Thank you so much for taking a look.

    If you scroll down the first post that is a song would be When It’s Cold Outside.

    I have not recently posted a song because I wanted to fix this issue before I continue doing so.

    The next song posted would be: Before Now

    I hope this was helpful and again thank you so much for taking the time to look into this!

    Ok,
    I managed to listen to both Audios. They work fine for me. So I guess people who can’t listen to them, must have some restriction in their browsers or they may need to activate some pluggins. But Audio works good for me in these links.

    Does the link show up for you when you are on the main site. Or, did it only show up after you clicked on the post. On my browser the link never shows up in the reader. Also, it does not show up on the blog post. Only after I click on view post does the link show up.

    On your computer can you see the link before you click on view post?

    It only shows on the post. I don’t see the Audio link on the reader.
    Maybe, you can find useful information here:

    OK. Will do.

    Do you have any recommendations for a theme that may be better suited for audio links.

    I would really like the link to show up on my followers; Reader.

    Also, would like the links to show up when people just click on the site without having to click on view post to see the link.

    Thank you very much.

    Your kindness is much appreciated.
