# Mixcloud links

 * Hi there.
 * I have put some links to soundcloud and mixcloud in the footer of the website–
   this works fine.
 * I also like to link to the tracks on each of these sites which I’ve done by clicking
   on add media and then put in the URL. This works well for SoundCloud – you can
   see the first 4 links look good, these are all soundcloud links.
 * Then, because we ran out of storage space on Soundcloud, we used Mixcloud for
   other tracks.
 * I’m putting the mixcloud links in the same way – add media and then the URL –
   but for some reason its putting these links in a large box which creates a look
   that there is big gap between each mixcloud link. I’d like these links to be 
   closer together because people may not scroll to the bottom of the page and may
   miss out on some tracks.
 * On other websites, using different themes, I would use the sitrorgin pagebuilder
   plugin to get around this problem but I can’t get it to work with this theme.
 * Any ideas how I can resolve this ?
 * Thanks in advance…..

 * Hi
 * I had never heard about mix cloud before,
    for some reason it is setting the 
   iframe height to 1000, but there is no code in the theme that sets iframe heights
   to 1000 so I am not sure what is causing this.
 * In the mixcloud shortcode, the embed that you add to the post, is there a height
   setting?
    You would need to be in the text mode of the WordPress editor to see
   it. Try to manually change that height.
 * When I click the “share” icon on one of the songs,
    I get the following code:`
   <iframe width="100%" height="120" src="https://www.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?
   feed=%2Fnorsonstewart%2Funique-star-lava-rock-and-red-hott-at-blackout-jas-studio-
   24-dec-2017-part-1%2F&hide_cover=1&light=1" frameborder="0"></iframe>` as you
   can see, the height here is set to **120**, not 1000.

 * Thanks for the reply.
 * Mixcloud is very good for DJs because on their free accounts its unlimited storage.
 * I’ve taken a look at the etxt editor on the tracks page and all it says is :

   blackout-studio-24-dec-2017-part-2/[/embed]
 * There are no other settings even in the visual mode the only options are to change
   the link of the URL or add some link text.
 * There is a mixcloud embed plugin for wordpress but I’m hesitant to use it because
   it only has 3 out of 5 stars for reviews and the newer reviews say it hasn’t 
   been updated for a while and it crashed the latest reviewers website.

 * ….. after some further investigation I have fixed it…….
 * I took a risk and installed the “Mixcould embed” plugin – [https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/mixcloud-embed/](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/mixcloud-embed/)
 * Then I read the instructions on the Mixcloud website on how to embed links to
   their tracks – [http://support.mixcloud.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1672993-wordpress-how-to-embed-a-mixcloud-widget-into-wordpress](http://support.mixcloud.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1672993-wordpress-how-to-embed-a-mixcloud-widget-into-wordpress)
 * note – you must have their plugin installed otherwise it doesn’t work.
 * Then I was able to add all the mixcloud tracks to the wordpress page, they look
   much better now and are easy to access.
