 * Hello,
    I am a Linux senior sysadmin, so I know my way around scripting (bash,
   awk, sed, Perl …) but I am not a WordPress developer, I don’t know much about
   WordPress internals, however I have a WordPress site to administer, and we have
   added PowerPress some days ago : this is the first time we are using PowerPress,
   we are discovering it.
 * So I have been reading the documentation, added some audio mp3 to our posts.
 * We would like to customize the text strings around the existing player. I have
   been reading your documentation :
 * [https://create.blubrry.com/resources/powerpress/powerpress-and-your-theme/](https://create.blubrry.com/resources/powerpress/powerpress-and-your-theme/)
 * but when I follow the instruction and add the code :
 * <?php if( $episode_content = get_the_powerpress_content() ) { ?>
    <fieldset class
   =”episode-box”> <legend>Podcast Episode</legend> <?php echo $episode_content;?
   > </fieldset> <?php } ?>
 * inside my single.php, I end up with twice the players on the posts , but this
   is not what I want : I want to customize the EXISTING player : how can I do that?
 * Regards
    R. Grasso

 * Btw, the various customization tips you give are not sufficient for us : for 
   instance, we want to colorize the slug string, but not the word “Podcast” :
 * Podcast (<colorized slug>)
 * we also want to change the slug string but only there, below the player, not 
   in the URL nor in the administration page (when we edit the post).
 * This is why I need to go deeper.
