Mixcloud

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have tried all the ways possible to embed a Mixcloud player. Nothing works.

  • Hi there,

    On what site are you trying to embed it?

    We have instructions for embedding Mixcloud on WordPress.com sites here:

    Hi! Thanks for writing.
    I think I have found the issue being that I had Privacy Badger enabled on my WordPress post page, and it was blocking Mixcloud. And probably a few other kinds of links I’ve been trying to embed on other posts.
    I’ve made the troublesome page live so you can see it.

    I think turning off Privacy Badger for mixcloud did the trick. But then looking at the post again, the embed disappeared, both the Mixcloud Advanced and the basic Mixcloud WordPress block. I disabled Adblock Plus for my site, and they reappeared. These took the direct url to the playlist and I finally got the noce preview.

    The shortcode option didn’t work, as you can see. Which kind of Gutenberg block should I try pasting it into?

    Thanks again!

    The question then becomes, can someone supply a plug-in for a popup warning about disabling adblockers, like all the commercial sites now do?

    And will this also clear up the problems I’ve had with Apple affiliate links?

  • Hi Mark,

    You’re in the wrong forum. Your site is using the open-source WordPress software and therefore you need to seek help at these forums:

    https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the WordPress software you can read this document:

    Sorry about that. I clicked the first help link I could find. I guess that was the wrong one.
    But it seems my problem has been that I had AdBlocker AND Privacy Badger blocking sending out information that I needed to send to bring back data for an embedded link. Looking good now.
