In reply to: MP3s don't play after update to 4.3.1James, I went to the wp link just above in your last post….wrote a post but when I hit post it doesn’t seem to go anywhere?
The Topic thread I called
Cannot get player to loadmaybe you can see it?
(I appear to be going backwards here!!)

In reply to: MP3s don't play after update to 4.3.1Hi again James,
So I did it last night, deactivated all…but then passed out from exhaustion after I found out that the plugin called MP3 jPlayer was causing the problem and now it’s deleted.
So this code
Lord Make Me an Instrument
is now working but when clicked it brings up a big black screen with a little lame looking player w/o any title or anything else. Is that WP’s default player? If so I sure need something better!!This shortcode does not show up at all:
[audio src="http://www.narayandance.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/HandsOpenHeartsOpen.mp3"]
???~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I installed and activated the new jw-player-7-for-wp you linked me to but I can’t figure out this:Step 2: Add the embed code to your <body>
With the player library set up, it’s time to actually embed the video. You can insert this HTML in your page, at the exact location you want the video to appear:
<div id=”myElement”>Loading the player…</div>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var playerInstance = jwplayer(“myElement”);
playerInstance.setup({
file: “http://example.com/uploads/myVideo.m4a”,
width: 640,
height: 40
});
</script>in “file” I subbed in the url for a MP3 in my librry.
Nothing happens except “Loading the player” appears. I’m obviously missing something.
JWPlayer’s Settings maybe the problem:
first setting is: Add the url of the file jwplayer.js.I had to go to Bluehost (my hosting service) and use their File Manager to find the location:
public_html/wp-content/uploads/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/player/
I put http://www.narayandance.org/ in front of that for the full URL where jwplayer.js is. Is that correct??This stuff is as clear as mud to me…..SORRY!!!

In reply to: MP3s don't play after update to 4.3.1Thanks again James.
If you look now I pasted in
[esplayer url=”http://www.narayandance.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/tete15sec.mp3″ width=”100″ title=”TeteMalkutakh”]
which is something that was still working on another page…at least it plays!! (But I want Playlists and titles and other stuff.I’m using the Responsive theme but I never updated it when going to 4.3.1 (because when I saw there was an update I checked Live Preview and the Sing page just showed up all black…so I thought maybe I better not update the theme.
If I switch themes, and loss even more, can I switch back?I’m going to bed….when are you on again?

In reply to: MP3s don't play after update to 4.3.1hmm….I followed the instructions on the link you gave me and pasted in this code
[audio src="http://www.narayandance.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/HandsOpenHeartsOpen.mp3"]Which is the correct address for this mp3 in the media library
go to page http://www.narayandance.org/sing/
and see NOTHING appears
I took away the [ ] and then the code appears but nothing is clickableyhx for being here!!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: MP3s don't play after update to 4.3.1Well the new JW-player-7 was easy enough to install but I’m afraid I can’t even figure out its first Settings question:
Add the url of the file jwplayer.js
How do I find that url??
Then the second Settings question is
JWP Licence Key
It says it’s free, I clicked on it and it wanted me to set up an acct, I did and clicked on the Free version and I got, and pasted in an API Key….I wonder is that my License Key?I see JW Player is primarily advertised as a video player, I only need a good MP3 player (But I remember the old one was also primarily a video and it worked as a MP3er….until it didn’t.
BTW I deactivated the old one….and the Playlist option on the Navigation Panel disappeared.
Good grief! You may be able to tell I’m not too swift with WPForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: MP3s don't play after update to 4.3.1Thanks James….I will give one or both a try….in a few hours and then get back to you with results

In reply to: MP3s don't play after update to 4.3.1Ah!!!…helps if I read!!!
You’re asking WHICH JW Player!…I didn’t know there was more than one.I just went to Plugins in my Dashboard, it says
JW Player Plugin for WordPress Ver 1.7.2THX!!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: MP3s don't play after update to 4.3.1Thanks James for helping.
In the old WP version I had a number of playlists made up using the JW Player plugin. This were, and still are, under their names Media/Playlists. I updated JW Player after updating to WP 4.3.1 but when I click on the link that should find the list and start JW Player it says “[PLAYLIST not found]”. But when I go to the actual post/Page there’s a number associated with the playlist…not a Name.
For instance see http://www.narayandance.org/friends-of-the-friend/So I tried making a new playlist….this time in MP3 jPlayer (another updated plugin installed)…but no go either.
This is at the top of page http://www.narayandance.org/sing/Then I tried simply a single MP3 in a post/Page…nothing happens!
This last is at the bottom of page http://www.narayandance.org/sing/Thanks again James!!!

In reply to: [PDF Thumbnails] Nothing but error messagesUnfortunately I have Win 8.1 and am using WP 3.4.2. I know I need to update WP but I need to upload some files to my site first before I slog thru updating….and I need thumbnails of my PDFs. But I’m getting the Http error message after I installed your plugin.
I’m not that tech savvy so is there possibly a simple way to get your plugin working?…..thx!

In reply to: long time gone – Help!thx Randy for the quick replies…I will read all the links you suggest.
I have read something from WP re the proper way to update…it said I can really only do 2 versions at a time.
I’m assuming you would suggest I do the above first….then update the Responsive theme….then the plugins?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WOW Slider] automatically close slideshow?Hi,
I’m back to asking if Wowslider can automatically close after it’s done a loop?
Sure would be great to get an answer.
Thanks!

In reply to: [WOW Slider] automatically close slideshow?Actually I have another question…I have a slideshow that starts with a smaller picture and then has progressively bigger gifs of the same picture…how do I get no background white space on the smaller pics?
In other words I don’t want any container, just the progressively bigger pix….can do??
thx!

In reply to: [Widgets on Pages] don't want to see the widgetHi Todd,
That worked fine thanks!….take a look at
http://www.narayandance.com/
(This will actually be my About…once I work up another Home)
I still would like to do a 10-12 sec slideshow/mp3 combo for my Home…but how about a Skip Intro button…very obvious…for those that don’t enjoy (repeatedly!) the intro?BTW…Question: I see when I dragged (in my case) the Simple Music widget over to Widgets on Pages 1 it disappeared from the left side…if I want a second, different, incident of Simple Music on another page do I need to install Simple Music again?….will WP even let me??
thx!! Eric
