Hello, i am trying to link to mp3’s and when i add the link like this:
[audio http://www.orangedogmusic.com/Music_Library/Wes_Hambright_Sampler.mp3%5D
when i do add this to a page it jsut shows up as the link and not an audio player.
I have the Plug-In WP Audio installed in my plug-in area.
Can anyone shed some light on what i’m doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

The best area to look at in order to make sure you are using the plugin correctly is: http://wpaudioplayer.com/usage/

You want to make sure that you have closing brackets on your shortcode [ ] as well as the : there is an example:

[audio:http://www.orangedogmusic.com/Music_Library/Wes_Hambright_Sampler.mp3%5D

try using that and see if it works, also I noticed that this file is password protected as well.

Awesome,
Thanks a million. That made the difference. I think i was missing that colon after audio. and i un password protected the directory on my site. BUT, It shows up now and i can press play but it doesn’t play. I’m still messing around with it.
