Title: Embed Soundcloud WordPress code Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Embed Soundcloud WordPress code * Resolved [jmiddaugh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmiddaugh/) * (@jmiddaugh) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/) * I’m having a problem embedding code I’ve been able to consistently copy & paste but not now – even Soundcloud WordPress code: * ‘[soundcloud url=”[https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/167441809″](https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/167441809″); params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true& show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]’ * Any suggestions?

There must be a problem with the new WordPress update which Bluehost performed on 9/29. Jetpack does not function either – which is probably why embedding Soundcloud does not work? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/#post-6613889) * What is the URL of the track you’re trying to embed? * Thread Starter [jmiddaugh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmiddaugh/) * (@jmiddaugh) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/#post-6613925) * [https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/167441809″](https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/167441809″); params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true& show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true * actually embed code from Soundcloud is * ‘[soundcloud url=”[https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/167441809″](https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/167441809″); params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true& show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]’ * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/#post-6613927) * I don’t need that, I need the URL to the track on SoundCloud so I can see it in my browser.

I had a nice thin bar because I had copied the Soundcloud WordPress embed codes. I changed auto_play and height in the embed code, all has been working very good for months. Then Bluehost upgraded WordPress and I’m now having problems. * The link is the home page [http://www.renascent3.org](http://www.renascent3.org) and other pages have Soundcloud embedded codes as well. * Bluehost hasn’t been able to help. * Do you think it is an issue with WordPress update? FV Flowplayer doesn’t function now either. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/#post-6613938) * Well, the type of WordPress you have doesn’t natively support the shortcodes you’ve been using, SoundCloud is sadly confusing on that front. WordPress.com does, and a few plugins provide support for that shortcode, like Jetpack. * What plugin were you using to provide Soundcloud embeds via their shortcode? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/#post-6613939) * For FV Flowplayer, make sure you’re using the latest version, currently 6.0.3.6: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/) * Thread Starter [jmiddaugh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmiddaugh/) * (@jmiddaugh) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/#post-6613941) * I had to deactivate Jetpack because the site wouldn’t come up – only a blank page and a tiny smiley face * Probably Jetpack was supporting the shortcodes? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/#post-6613955) * Yes, Jetpack’s Shortcode Embed module is what was handling the Soundcloud shortcode embeds. Without it, there’s nothing to execute the shortcodes. * What version of Jetpack were you running? * Thread Starter [jmiddaugh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmiddaugh/) * (@jmiddaugh) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/#post-6613962) * Jetpack 3.7.2 * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/#post-6613964) * Ok, that should work without issue, though there could have been a conflict elsewhere causing the blank page when it was active. * Would you mind trying Jetpack with all other plugins deactivated? If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause. * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). * Thread Starter [jmiddaugh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmiddaugh/) * (@jmiddaugh) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/#post-6613966) * Each time I activated Jetpack I had the blank apge issue. I will do as you suggest with all other plugins deactivate and follow thru. * Thanks, I’ll let you know Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Embed Soundcloud WordPress code’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 18 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * Last activity: [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embed-soundcloud-wordpress-code/page/2/#post-6614121) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
