# Getting Started Help

 * So FAQ’s are not that well explained. Did get as far as adding files finally 
   in both mp3 and ogg from the help section but now it’s a matter of adding player
   on page itself. nothing explaining that. I add this html code but nothing showed.
   If FAQ’s were better detailed on steps to take then it would make it easier for
   someone to use this plugin. So far my experience is 1/5 stars for lack of instructions
   period. Looked at some posts but no help there. One did ask something similar
   but was not answered properly.

 * Hi [@andyinspire](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andyinspire/)
 * You can add the player anywhere on your site using shortcode `[hmp_player]`
 * This is noted clearly on the main plugin description page [here](http://wordpress.org/plugins/html5-jquery-audio-player/)
   and on the Installation page [here](http://wordpress.org/plugins/html5-jquery-audio-player/installation/)
 * Feel free to post back here should there be anything further I can do to assist.

 * Actually did see that and did but player never showed on site. So using alternative
   as result. And instructions aren’t clear. Improve FAQ’s and step by step guide
   would be helpful.

 * @maevelander, could you give an example of the complete shortchode. For example,
   [
   hmp_player fileurl=”[http://blah.com/…”%5D](http://blah.com/…”%5D)
 * As Andy already stated, the available information is insufficient.

 * Hello
 * I have no idea how to get this player to show up. Please can you offer some simple
   clear instructions for beginners.
 * I am typing the following code for my song
 * [hmp_player = [http://www.domainname/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/name](http://www.domainname/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/name)
   of song.mp3]
 * is this correct? Nothing is showing up just this text?
 * And what is the ‘Manage Songs’ section for, what does that do?
 * Some useful instructions for beginners would be a good idea I think
 * thanks.

 * Hi Guys, the **free version of this plugin only has 1 simple shortcode.** Simply
   add this shortcode to any page/post to show the player:
 * `[hmp_player]`
 * The installation instructions are extremely simple and clearly outlined here -
   > [http://wordpress.org/plugins/html5-jquery-audio-player/installation/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/html5-jquery-audio-player/installation/)
 * **If you are using Pro version** then there are different shortcodes for different
   playlists, and these appear in your Manage Playlists area. See also [http://enigmaplugins.com/basic-config-hmp/](http://enigmaplugins.com/basic-config-hmp/)
   and [http://enigmaplugins.com/usage/](http://enigmaplugins.com/usage/) in the
   documentation

 * I have installed the plugin and activated it, but when I insert the [hmp_player]
   short code in my website, nothing happens,
    what’s wrong with it?
