How do I fix an embedded audio player when it is not working correctly?
-
Two problems: In my latest post, when it shows up in the homescreen, the embedded audio player in the post does not show up correctly.
And my second problem is that the audio player does not work in Firefox, but it does in Chrome and Internet Explorer. How can I fix these problems.

Hello!
I have checked it with Firefox, Chrome-Canary, and Safari and they all display the .mp3 NOT a flash embed.
This may be a browser issue. Can anyone else see or not see the player?

One possible consideration is the use of shortcodes
Were the shortcode instructions followed here?

If your current browser does not support HTML5 audio for your uploaded format, or Flash Player is not installed, a direct download link will be displayed instead of the player.
The following browsers support the following formats via HTML5 audio: -
Oops! I forgot to mention that shortcodes are used when linking to a file on a 3rd party server. Though, I am not sure that is the case here.
I am not sure when your .mp3 was uploaded to the site but it looks like in order to upload .mp3s it requires an upgrade
Buy the WordPress.com Premium or WordPress.com Business plans. This allows you to upload .mp3, .m4a, .ogg, or .wav files to your blog. Upload the file to your blog’s media library. You can edit/add/remove the Title, Artist, Caption, and Description of the audio file. When inserting into a post, make sure to select the Embed Media Player option for Embed or Link and then click the Insert into Post button (as illustrated in the image below). If your file is an .mp3, .m4a, .ogg, or .wav file, this will insert the audio player shortcode into your post or page.
