Title: Include player inside content Last modified: August 6, 2026 --- # Include player inside content * [Klaus Reichert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/klaus12/) * (@klaus12) * [3 days, 7 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/include-player-inside-content/) * Hi there, * your player renders outside the WordPress loop, which is why it shows to all visitors even when a page is protected. Is there the possibility to put the player into WordPress’ `the_content()` function? * Or better: please change this in your standards: render the player inside the WordPress loop. * Best regards, * Klaus * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finclude-player-inside-content%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * Plugin Author [AiO Podcast Studio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aiopodcasting/) * (@aiopodcasting) * [3 days, 7 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/include-player-inside-content/#post-18986217) * [@klaus12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/klaus12/), * Thanks for writing in, and for the suggestion. * The player is already rendered inside the loop on our own single pages. On single podcast, episode, and participant pages the output is attached to WordPress’ ` the_content` filter (priority 11) and it only runs when `in_the_loop()` and ` is_main_query()` are both true and the queried object matches the current post. It also bails out early when `post_password_required()` returns true, so a password- protected podcast or episode shows the password form and no player. The same applies to our shortcodes and blocks: whatever you place inside the post content runs through `the_content` along with the rest of the content. * Where a player genuinely can appear outside the loop is when it is not part of the post content at all — for example the Episodes widget with the player enabled placed in a sidebar or footer, or a shortcode/block inserted into a theme template part, header, or footer of a block theme. Those areas are rendered outside the loop by design in WordPress, so per-page protection does not cover them. * There is also a third case worth checking: if a membership or content-protection plugin replaces the post content on `the_content` at the default priority 10, our filter runs afterwards at priority 11 and would replace that notice on our own single pages. If that is what you are seeing, it is something we can address on our side, and we would like to. * So this really depends on how the player ends up on your protected page, and we do not want to guess. **Could you share:** * 1. The exact URL of the protected page where the player is still visible. * 2. How that page is protected — WordPress’ built-in password protection, or a membership/protection plugin (and which one)? * 3. How the player is placed on that page — is it one of our single podcast/episode/ participant pages, or a shortcode, block, or widget you added yourself? * With that we can reproduce it on our test site and tell you exactly what is happening, and fix it if the fault is ours. * Thread Starter [Klaus Reichert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/klaus12/) * (@klaus12) * [3 days, 4 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/include-player-inside-content/#post-18986324) * Hi there, * I have send you the URL and the plugin via E-Mail. * I used the standard ways to set up the pages, no additional adding of the player. * Best, Klaus * Plugin Author [AiO Podcast Studio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aiopodcasting/) * (@aiopodcasting) * [2 days, 23 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/include-player-inside-content/#post-18986552) * [@klaus12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/klaus12/), * Thanks again for the details — we received your email and have replied there, since it was easier to go through your setup that way. * For anyone finding this thread later: the player is rendered through `the_content` on our single podcast and episode pages. What Klaus ran into is a compatibility issue with Paid Memberships Pro, where both plugins act on the post content at different points. We are adding explicit support for it in our next update, due next week. * We will post back here once that release is out.
