    Can I use the single player to display one episode that is unique to that page? Rather than using the .mp3 URL, I would like to use dynamic tags so the player can be placed in a template for single episode posts.

    I put an example of my single episode page in the box above.

    Thank you.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi there,

    What kind of dynamic tags you are trying to use for episode identification. If I understand correctly, you want to create a custom field using ACF or similar plugin and enter certain tag or data to identify which episode is to be displayed.

    If that’s the case, what sort of unique identification tags are you planning to use?

    Thanks,

    I built a post template for podcast episodes. I have a custom field for each post that points to the .mp3 file for single episode.

    I want the Single Episode Podcast Player to use that dynamic field to play the unique episode for each post.

    Hi there,

    It should be possible with podcast player pro. Podcast player pro has a feature to display a single podcast player from mp3 url (refer Documentation). You can use podcast player shortcode in your template file.

    Although I haven’t tried, but something similar to following code in your single template should work (assuming you custom field name is episodemp3),

    global $post;
$my_mp3url = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'episodemp3', true);
if ( $my_mp3url ) :
    echo do_shortcode( "[podcastplayer fetch_method='link' mediasrc='$my_mp3url']" );
endif;

    Note1: Custom field retrieval function may be different based on what plugin or feature you are using to create a custom field.
    Note2: Always backup your site before making PHP changes. It is better to test the code on a test website before putting on a live website.

    Please inform if you need more help on this.

    Thanks,
