Sadly there was a level of erratic uncertainty and it has not been usable. I will try generating numbers of the same digit length. Meanwhile I have succeeded in substituting the player for the HTML5 version resident in modern browsers. Long-term this is all I need but until I can be sure that the majority of surfers have the latest stuff I wanted to maintain Flash compatibility. Hence the question. I go look. I may be some time! BTW I have been changing the page as I find new work-arounds. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[CSS & JavaScript Toolbox] Footer Hooks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/footer-hooks/) * Thread Starter [Mr Red](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mr-red/) * (@mr-red) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/footer-hooks/#post-7838772) * WordPress 3.8.2 Canvas 5.1.5 (Framework 5.5.5) CJT 6.1.5 Compact Audio Player 1.8 plus usual plugins loaded at installation (eg MP3-jPlayer 1.8.4) * By putting it in the header it also appears above the Dashboard (etc) which at least informs on the look (and feel which is highly inappropriate).

Reading [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL) sort of helped. I changed the “home” URL and promptly was asked to log in again. Passwords no longer worked. Request a new password and it worked. BUT now my “ home” URL is [http://stroudvoices.co.uk](http://stroudvoices.co.uk) but all the URLs for individual pages still references the old dommain (sub of legacy eg [http://stories.stroudfm.co.uk](http://stories.stroudfm.co.uk) ) My questions 1) would be – if I changed the “site” URL now will this resolve itself to be more logical? eg all based on the new domain. 2) Am I in for a “not quite so this time” shock of changing the password again? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [dynamic page based on serach terms – ideas please](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dynamic-page-based-on-serach-terms-ideas-please/) * Thread Starter [Mr Red](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mr-red/) * (@mr-red) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dynamic-page-based-on-serach-terms-ideas-please/#post-4635991) * this is what it looks like as a WordPress page [http://stories.stroudfm.co.uk/iframe-test/](http://stories.stroudfm.co.uk/iframe-test/) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [dynamic page based on serach terms – ideas please](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dynamic-page-based-on-serach-terms-ideas-please/) * Thread Starter [Mr Red](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mr-red/) * (@mr-red) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dynamic-page-based-on-serach-terms-ideas-please/#post-4635990) * I will leave the pave up for a while, this is the HTML I used: `` * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [dynamic page based on serach terms – ideas please](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dynamic-page-based-on-serach-terms-ideas-please/) * Thread Starter [Mr Red](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mr-red/) * (@mr-red) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dynamic-page-based-on-serach-terms-ideas-please/#post-4635989) * Well I just did a test page using an IFRAME source linked to [http://cresby.com](http://cresby.com) which is full of JavaScript on the home page and it proved 100% successful. Provided I made the area large enough, and ignored the way the links on that homepage behave – they were designed for “top” not “self”. So I will be writing code in JavaScript on a remote page.

Firefox has never had Flash installed/ updated by me. In fact none of the plug-ins were activated, by choice. So SC player thinks that Flash exists, and assumes it works. By disabling Flash (& other things I don’t want) SC assumes there is no Flash. Is the detection of Flash that ambiguous? I would have thought there were flags/properties that could identify that. My take is that there will be few surfers who will think like me. But I will be putting a caveat on the website. FF plays OK now, but I have installed another player to play with its Look&Feel. It doesn’t know if Flash is “not activated” either! IE has Flash. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Compact WP Audio Player] Compact WordPress Audio/Music Player Plugin – Audio not playing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compact-wordpress-audiomusic-player-plugin-audio-not-playing/) * [Mr Red](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mr-red/) * (@mr-red) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compact-wordpress-audiomusic-player-plugin-audio-not-playing/page/2/#post-4293007) * I am currently asking people to try it on the priciple they have the mix of browser/ OS/Plugin combos.

If they are the only options I do need to have it automatically choose a workable option. Legacy browsers most likely have Flash, FF may not, but modern FF has HTML5.

I don’t in FF – only in IE. Is this the cause? If it is a setting in FF it still has to work for everyone.
