  In the last 2 weeks i have uploaded audio files as i have previously done however now, instead of providing a name that the user would clik on (Sermons, Easter, Easter Sunday (John 20) ) for example, it is now (under Jonah) providing an audio player.
  Would you please tell me why this change has occured and how to correct it. Thank you

  Sorry for the trouble, we’re looking into this!

  For now, you can get the file’s URL from the Media library, then insert it like a normal link into the post or page.

  I have (somehwat fixed the problem) although this is not the ideal solution.

  I have to manually go into the edit page and change for example:

  [audio http://mossvaleanglican.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/jonah-3.mp3] Jonah 3

  to

  Jonah 3

  I hope this gives some insight into what i’m doing wrong?

  That didn’t come out right. I manually change it by removing the
  [audio
  and replacing it with
  <a href=”
  before the http and then after the
  .mp3
  adding
  “> Jonah 3

  /

  >

  Yes, that’s the general idea. In case anyone comes along here, change this:

  [audio http://blog.files.wordpress.com/year/month/file.mp3]

  to:

  <a href="http://blog.files.wordpress.com/year/month/file.mp3">title</a>

  Or, create a link following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/
