 * I am trying to add the player to only the single product page php file but can’t
   figure it out. I have tried to use the do_shortcode function but its not working.
   I don’t want a playlist, i just want the single audio file to auto populate on
   every product.

 * Hello [@pathosmusic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pathosmusic/)
 * I guess you are using the free version of the plugin, if it is the case, you 
   should configure the product as “downloadable” and select at least an audio file
   from the list of downloadable files.

 * Hi sorry if I was unclear.
 * So the products are set as downloadable and the plugin works fine for the most
   part. If I enable it on
 * • single-entry pages (Product’s page only)
 * it adds a player everywhere on the site that the product shows up. For example
   I have a woocommerce “Latest Products” Visual Composer block on the home page
   that shows 10 recent items, but it puts an audio player under each product and
   the home page loads very slow. I just want to be able to add it to the content-
   single-product.php from woocommerce but it doesn’t seem so straightforward.

 * Hello [@pathosmusic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pathosmusic/)
 * Concerning to this point: …but it puts an audio player under each product and
   the home page loads very slow…
 * To fix the performance issue, I recommend you to select the “none” option for
   the “Preload” attribute in the players’ settings.
 * If you want to load the players associated to a product directly from the template
   file, you should call the playlist shortcode as follows:
 *     ```
       <?php print do_shortcode('[wcmp-playlist products_ids="123"]'); ?>
       ```
   
 * Replacing the product’s id 123, by the corresponding one.
 * Best regards.

 * Is there a way to auto find the product id? This is a multi vendor marketplace
   so authors upload via a front end submission dashboard. I would like the player
   to auto populate on the product page template by finding the current product 
   id.

 * Hello [@pathosmusic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pathosmusic/)
 * The file you are referring is a template of WooCommerce, it is not precisely 
   part of our plugin, and in this file you should use the WooCommerce and WordPress
   functions to determine the id of the current product (post).
 * For example, you can use the WordPress function: `get_the_ID()` as follows:
 *     ```
       <?php print do_shortcode('[wcmp-playlist products_ids="'+get_the_ID()+'"]'); ?>
       ```

 * Thanks for your help so far!
 * That code doesn’t work for me. All I want to do is have an audio player show 
   up on only the single product pages by adding some code to call your player in
   the content-single-product.php. There is no code to add your plugin to a template
   file and have it behave like normal?

 * Can I ask how you are able to get the file to play automatically when the woocommerce
   downloadable files have a security access feature?

 * Hello [@pathosmusic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pathosmusic/)
 * It is possible, using a PHP Script as proxy. Furthermore, the commercial version
   of the plugin is able to create a new copy of file, but truncating it’s size 
   at the percentage defined in the player’s settings, so, in case the user download
   the file used for demo, it would be the truncated version of the original file.

 * So what I am doing is having users upload audio “products” they want to sell 
   in a .zip file, but also requiring them to provide an .mp3 file that is watermarked
   using an audio watermark file I provide them. So I’m not too worried about the
   mp3 getting downloaded since its watermarked and a preview. The .zip file should
   never be compromised with your plugin right? Because its only looking for audio
   files?

 * `<?php print do_shortcode('[wcmp-playlist products_ids="'+get_the_ID()+'"]');?
   >`
 * This code you gave me is pulling the ID but not displaying a player, it just 
   outputs the ID as a number on the webpage.

 * Hello [@pathosmusic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pathosmusic/)
 * Answering your first question, the plugin will consider only the audio files.
 * Concerning to the shorcode, my apologies, as I’m writing code for javascript 
   and php at the same time, I’ve made a mistake in the snippet of code I sent you.
   The correct one is:
 *     ```
       <?php print do_shortcode('[wcmp-playlist products_ids="'.get_the_ID().'"]'); ?>
       ```

 * No need for apologies! Thanks for the replies! This code is also not working.
   Even if I manually add the product ID for one that I know, the audio player doesn’t
   show. Is it a problem with the way I am implementing the shortcode in my php 
   template?
 * If I use the wordpress built in audio shortcode, I use this code:
 *     ```
       $ca_audio = $product->get_id();
   
       $_product = wc_get_product( $ca_audio );
       $downloads = $product->get_files();
   
       foreach( $downloads as $key => $each_download ) {
   
       	if ( strpos( $each_download["file"] , '.mp3') !== false) {
       	    $attr = array(
       			'src'      => $each_download["file"],
       			'loop'     => '',
       			'autoplay' => '',
       			'preload'  => 'none'
       		);
       		echo wp_audio_shortcode( $attr );
       		break;
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * and it shows the wordpress player, just won’t play the audio.
 * Should your shortcode be called another way in the php file? It doesn’t seem 
   to be showing at all with any variation of the code you gave me. Does there need
   to be any special options enabled in the plugin for the shortcode to show?

 * Hello [@pathosmusic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pathosmusic/)
 * Please, contact me through my private website for checking your settings in detail.
 * Actually, if you want to display the music player in every product’s page where
   there are at least an audio file as downloadable file, you don’t need to insert
   the shortcode in the template’s file or edit the template’s file, you simply 
   should configure the players through the settings page (and not directly in every
   product). Furthermore, if you want the products’ authors cannot edit the players’
   settings from the products’ settings, you simply should edit the code of the 
   plugin for not including the metabox corresponding to the players’ settings.

 * Will it cost anything to look into this more on your website? It asks me to put
   in an email for payment.
 * Also I did have that option enabled and it works, but it loads it on the front
   page as well in a “recent products” section from woocommerce Visual Composer 
   block element.
 * Somehow I just want it to be on the single product page only.
