podcast player showing text instead

[James Smith]

So, in local development everything worked great. The player played fine and looked normal but when I moved to the test server the player still plays but it shows text instead of player..

Kinda lost on this one

Thanks!

Hello James,

I took a look just now and I’m a bit with you on this. It looks like you’re using a plugin to handle the podcasting, is that correct? The theme makes use of the audio player that’s built into WordPress (just styled a bit differently) to play the files. It looks like this one is displaying the file name as text before the play button.

I think you can hide that though. Give this a try:

1. Go to your theme options page and choose the Advanced tab.
2. Scroll down to the Custom CSS box and add this:

   
   span.T_mp3j {
   	display: none !important;
   }
   

3. Update your settings.

Let me know if that doesn’t do the trick.

Take care,
Bill

Thanks Bill,

It did remove the text but left only a play button. I’m using Kerygma which came with support for podcasting. I don’t suppose there is a way to get the normal scrub bar back?

It’s possible that one of the media player or podcasting plugins is doing that. I would try disabling those plugins and see if the normal player comes back up.
