* Just a guess but the documentation says showposts was replaced by posts_per_page
in release 2.1 that was 16 years ago
I suggest trying replacing ‘showposts’ =
> 0 with ‘posts_per_page’ => -1

* Also I’d try quoting $audio_info[_guid_]
i.e. $audio_info[‘guid’]In recent version
of PHP the unquoted string will be treated as an undefined constant and in PHP
8 it will fatal so it wont be sending what you think to the audio shorcode

* I think you nailed it with the quotes around guid. I changed the line to be esc_attr(
$audio_info[‘guid’] ) and now it works great. Thank you very much Alan, appreciated!
