 * Hi there. Previously did you have the player displaying below each post on the/
   podcast page? Is that what’s missing now?
 * I’m sure you’ve looked there already, but can you confirm the settings in Podcast-
   > Settings -> General that you have selected to display the player on Full Content
   and Excerpts?
 * Cheers,
    Craig

 * We experienced this recently as well. It seems this function disappeared from
   ssp-functions.php
 *     ```
        if ( ! function_exists( 'ssp_check_if_podcast_has_shortcode' ) ) {
        	/**
        	 * Check if the podcast content has a specific shortcode
        	 *
        	 * @param $podcast_id
        	 * @param $shortcode
        	 *
        	 * @return bool
        	 */
        	function ssp_check_if_podcast_has_shortcode( $podcast_id = 0, $shortcode = '' ) {
        		if ( empty( $podcast_id ) ) {
        			return false;
       		}
        		$podcast         = get_post( $podcast_id );
        		$podcast_content = $podcast->post_content;
        		//$podcast_content = apply_filters( 'the_content', $podcast_content );
        		if ( has_shortcode( $podcast_content, $shortcode ) ) {
        			return true;
        		}
        		return false;
        	}
        }
       ```
