That’s correct. It wouldn’t, since you didn’t use the WordPress internal uploader. Just figure out where you uploaded it via FTP, and link to it there.
> I even tried creating a hyperlink directly to the folder/mp3 and it doesnt work.
For something like this, you need to link to a file, not a folder.
Hm. I may have misunderstood what you wrote.
If your mp3 is here: site.com/folder/somesong.mp3
then link to it there:
[audio src="http://site.com/folder/somesong.mp3" /]
Thanks DianeV!
I had tried that a couple of times but it wouldnt work. Of course after I posted and you replied I tried your suggestion and of course it worked 1st time. DoH! I am curious is it faster to use the upload to add files for that or use the FTP and link from there? This was about a 13Mb MP3
hi there. i have I think may be the same problem with linking to files.
The files fail to download and you get 404 error if you click on them. But if I right click and save file as it works fine.
I am assuming it is a wordpress thing because joomla works fine when we try the same thing.
