Problem with Soundcloud
-
When I embed the shortcode into my post from my soundcloud of a poem I recorded it doesn’t go live.. I go to preview the post and the player flashes on the screen and then disappears and I’m left with a message that says soundcloud is unavailable. Any ideas?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Does anything in the guide here help you? http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/soundcloud-audio-player/ -
Thankyou for that … but followed the steps and the link there is actually covering the old soundcloud page. The new one actually looks much more straightforward, but can’t the darn thing to work …./

Howdy,
You just about had it the second way you were doing it (with just the URL). If you click on the URL in the post editor, then click the “Unlink” icon in the editor, then Publish, it’ll work just fine.
For the URL-only embeds, if it is linked, the processor will lean on the side of caution and assume you wanted to direct people to the link versus embedding it directly. In my testing, the shortcode works as well.
Soundcloud may have had an issue yesterday that caused the embed to fail. Please let me know if you have any other questions or need anything else. Thanks too to timethief.

Many thanks for that …. when I logged in it had already changed so not sure if you did that or the soundcloud issue you referred to corrected it when it was resolved.

I took care of that one for you, since I wanted to make sure there wasn’t something more deep involved. Didn’t want to give you a bad answer :-)
Cheers all!
