    Hi,

    We are having a few issues with the form. We have been trying some modifications with mixed results:

    1. The default title field was having issues displaying the form box on some browsers. I created my own short text field, but I want to know if there’s any reports of issues with the default fields. I am concerned that by using a text box instead of the default title that it may affect searching.

    2. Although we seem to be able to do video embed just fine, the audio field will not let the audio embed, it just displays the code. I have double checked the display settings and it is set at Audio and the type is Full Width

    3. For some users the reCaptcha appears just as a check box, for others they have to do the entire image selection. Any idea as to why this is?

    4. Note that we are using Wordfence for security, but I have enabled the use of html in forms

    Thank you for your help on this

    Hi,
    1. i am not aware of any problems with the title field, what issue were you having with it?

    Using some custom field instead of default title will most likely make the Ad not searchable by title.

    2. what does display when you are trying to add the embed?

    3. if users need to do the image selection then reCAPTCHA for some reason considers them to be bots and shows the image selection. Why the users are considered to be bots i cannot tell you would need to ask reCAPTCHA developers about it, most likely their site usage patterns are similar to bots in one way or another.

    2. When trying to add an audio embed the only thing that shows is the type that you add, so it just displays the link that you type–it doesn’t perform the function.

    1. The default title field is not showing up on some versions of Firefox (FF56 on a Mac, but not every machine) so we were trying to use a custom, but we’re concerned that will kill the search capability.

    2. The embed code shows up, not the audio render

    3. That’s very strange, because one of the people seeing the images is the designer who’s been on the project since the very beginning and is on the same network as the programmer, who does not see it.

    1. one the machines it does not work, do you have some AdBlocker installed there in a browser? If you do please try disabling it and see if this works.

    2. can you paste a link to page where you are having this problem or a screenshot so i could see it for myself?

    3. Maybe the person having this problem has cookies or JavaScript disabled? or is using the browser in incognito mode? I cannot really tell the reCAPTCHA does not have any options for that, the reCAPTCHA itself decides if user needs to select images or not.

    1. Yes, removing adBlock did fix the title issue. Odd that’s the only field affected. Guess we’ll have to put a notice for people who use it?!

    2. If I could send you a screen shot you would just see the embed code in the field. That is all.

    ​3. The third issue does not render the form unusable, but it’s annoying. She has cookies enabled, JS enabled, not in incognito mode…I don’t know. The odd thing is she is on the same network as someone else, using the same browser and OS, and she’s the only one who sees it. Maybe an Extension issue? No adBlock on hers either.

    1. It depends, you can just customize the HTML so the ad will be visible to anyone.

    2. By embedded code do you mean a shortcode (like [audio ...]) or the printed shortcode HTML as plain text?

    3. Like i wrote earlier, i cannot tell.

    2. Yes, so if you were posting a soundcloud audio you could put:

    https://soundcloud.com/gharacheh2000/classical-john-williams-1

    and no audio would show, just exactly the type:

    https://soundcloud.com/gharacheh2000/classical-john-williams-1

    so again the type would show but not what what just showed in the window above. the html would not make the soundcloud show it would just show what had been typed in, the url, that’s it.

    I also wanted to try and document for you the settings area for the audio. Maybe you will see something. I don’t know how to post a screen shot here, so I will list in text form what I see there. We are really hoping you can help us with this. Something is preventing the audio field to work and we have not been able to trouble shoot it. If you have any ideas for things we should try, please tell me. Also if there is something that looks funny to you in the list version of the form below, please let me know. Thank you!!

    Current settings:

    Common Settings

    Field Name – custom_field_15

    Field Label – Embed Audio

    Required – (no)

    Field Specific Settings

    Placeholder (empty)

    Length – Min. / 1000

    Type – plain-text (yes) Plain Text –– Editor –– Full Editor

    Display Settings

    Display – Forms and Ad details page

    Display Type – Table Row — Full Width (yes)

    Display As – Audio

    Ok so your are using the Audio display which expects the argument to be a link to an audio file which can be played in browser (that is mp4, ogg or webm), the file will be played using wp_audio_shortcode(), but you are providing an oEmbed link, the wp_audio_shortcode() cannot play that.

    What you would need to do is set Display As to “HTML” and in the content enter the Embed <iframe ...></iframe> code.

    In next release the Custom Fields add-on will have an option oEmbed in “Display As” field, then it will be possible to just pass a link like https://soundcloud.com/postmalone/rockstar-feat-21-savage and have it converted to SoundCloud player automatically.
