• Hello my site is http://www.abridgedpause.com

    I have been trying to embed the Bandcamp player but nothing seems to be working.

    First I tried with the regular embed code
    <iframe style="border: 0; width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=22596276/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="http://abridgedpause.bandcamp.com/album/the-last-great-torch-song">The Last Great Torch Song by Vision Éternel</a></iframe>

    Then I tried with the bandcamp WP sohrtcode
    [bandcamp width=350 height=350 album=22596276 size=large bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5]

    Neither of those worked on their own. That is, the code was appearing on my post as if it was regular text.

    Finally I tried using the WP BandCamp Plugin v. 1.1.1.
    With code No.1, same issue.
    With code No.2, the player gets cut in half. I’ve tried placing it at different places in my post, same issue continues to happen.

    I also have a side question, is it normal that some of the codes will not work correctly in “preview this post” but when they get posted they appear correctly? I thought this was the case with the Bandcamp issue but it makes no difference. I just find it annoying that after being forced to publish a post (with subscribers receiving a faulty post), it is not working any better.

  • The plugin you mentioned only supports up to 3.4.2 so that could be the issue and as for Bandcamp embed code not working, have to tried it with the default theme?

    It could be your theme but you are using a premium theme which is not supported on these forums so you may want to ask the theme author.

    Thanks for your response Graphical Force. I tried with the default theme as well as other WP themes and I am still getting the same issue. That is: i iframe code will only display the code in plain text and the shortcode will cut off the image in half.

    any kind of ideas would be appreciated!

    I have found a solution. However I want to clearly mention that there is something wrong with the Bandcamp Shortcode. The image is still cut halfway. WordPress.com forums have acknowledge it, I hope that WordPress.org will soon.

    My solution for this is to paste the iframe code in the TEXT mode, not the visual mode. That works perfectly once published.
