Hi,

In the demo content there is a post which has a SoundCloud embedded player associated with it. It is visible right above the post on the main page as well as when viewing the whole post. However, it is not present when editing the post, and so I have no idea how to add it in a new post. I tried to find some info in the documentation, Ashe’s YouTube playlist or this forum, but I couldn’t find anything. I don’t even know how to call the feature. I’m a total WP newbie. Could you please help me?

Thanks,

Tomas

I found an example post on your own website, this time with a YouTube video at the top: https://ashe-pro.wp-royal-themes.com/demo/summer-scope-ispire/

How can one do that?

Hi Tomas,

 

At first, thank you for choosing our theme and service.

The mentioned post is an Audio format post type, please check the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/SWxB4UzH8avW
Navigate to Dashboard > Posts > Add new and from right side chose the post format to audio, than add widget called sound cloud, or Youtube Emebed.

Kind Regards

When I follow your steps I do see the YouTube video or SoundCloud widget in the post itself, but it is placed as part of the article below the title, and the widget is missing when displaying the post on the main page.

I was browsing through the source code and I came across inc/metaboxes/metabox.php which contains a definition of ACF fields for various post formats including audio and video. There is also a UI js code which displays only the ACF field that corresponds to the current format. I don’t see any of the fields when editing a post. Perhaps something is not working correctly?

Hi Tomas,

 

In order to assist we need to check your website from the back end, please install this 3rd party plugin “Temporary Login Without Password Plugin” which allows us to access your dashboard without sharing access details.

To better understand how the plugin works, please watch the video guide below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMu0e78OpJo

I was debugging the UI portion in the browser’s developer tools and it is apparent that the jQuery selector $(‘[id*=”post-format-selector”],.post-format’) in metabox-ui.js doesn’t work.

Hi Tomas,

 

It seems that with the new WordPress page and post editor, it’s not possible to embed video into SoundCloud as a featured image section. for that, you can change the WordPress editor to the old version using a plugin called “Classic Editor” this plugin is created bythe  WP team and is fully compatible and functional.

Kind Regards

Thanks for the analysis! Is there a chance that Ashe would be updated to solve the problem differently?

Hi Tomas,

 

Actually, it’s not a theme side issue or related to the theme functionality, it’s WordPress feature itself, so we can’t do anything about it.

Kind Regards

I thought that the ACF fields were Ashe-specific. The only problem is to recognize which fields to hide and which not, right? When I comment out the hiding of all the fields (in the dev tools) they do show up and I can add the video or audio embed code. Are you saying that there is absolutely no way to detect the current post format to control the hiding properly?

Hi again,

Please reopen access to site, also can you provide screenshot about following ?

Kind regards,
