  I can’t seem to embed my soundcloud files even though I follow the steps on the wordpress site correctly the soundcloud block says ‘sorry this content could not be embedded.’

  Hi there,

  Can we have your site url please?

  To upload mp3 and other audio files you’ll need to upgrade to our Personal, Premium, or Business plans. You can read more about that here:

  Accepted File Types

  If you already have a paid plan, please see the following guide:

  Please note that these forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If your site is using the open-source WordPress.org software you need to seek help at these forums:

  Hope this helps

  Thanks

  @adarshhalan, you need a paid plan to upload audio files to your media library, it is not necessary to embed music via SoundCloud Block. If you’re not sure about something, you can check it on your test site.

  
  @chester1715905 were you able to make it work? If not, let us know what is the address of the post where you’re trying to embed the song and what is the link to the SoundCloud file?
