 * I have selected the HTML5 version, but keep having the Flash version displayed.
   
   The soundcloud widget is therefore invisible on iOS devices.
 * Is it just me?

 * not just you – viewing source confirms this. You can take the wordpress code 
   from soundcloud directly and it works but you loose some options.

 * I just installed it today and it works fine on iOS, in HTML5.
 * Could you post a link to the site where you have trouble?

 * Hello! Unfortunately I have the same problem – with Flash it works, but HTML 
   fails.

 * I’m sorry, Easy Jay but I cannot find any place in your site where a Soundcloud
   player is. Could you specify the exact page where it is?

 * Viewing the source or right-clicking you can see it is Flash – but I swear I 
   put HTML5 in the settings…

 * Hello WPLubalee, yes, the player comes up directly among the header banner – 
   it appears as a flash player. same situation like lutherbissett’s post above.
 * Here’s a screenshot with the player:

 * Hey Easy Jay, now I see… (I was on an iPad). Anyway, to be able to see what happens,
   you should configure the plugin to work on HTML5, then we’ll see what happens
   with the source code.
 * In the screenshot, I show you how my configuratiln looks like. And I have no 
   problem on iOS. Maybe there’s a conflict with some other plugin or with the theme..

 * Anyway, have you tried what happens if you uninstall the Soundcloud plugin and
   add the HTML5 code by yourself? Does it work?
 * lutherblisset, I have taken a look to your site, also, and it dispays the Flash
   version, as you said. Try pasting the <iframe> code in a post, for example, see
   what happens.

 * I tried disabling all plugins, but the problem is still there.
 * I have tried as wplubalee suggest, to paste the iframe code provided by Soundcloud,
   and it works…
    I have lost the possibility to customize the look, but at least
   the player is now visible on iOS.
 * And I can delete the Soundcloud plugin, since it is useless for me now… They 
   say the less plugins the better right?

 * Yes, lutherblisset, the “cleaner” you are, the best 🙂 there’s no point in having
   the plugin if you don’t use it. Anyway, manually (I mean when you go grab the
   code), you can customize everything on the player, except the background color,
   so it matches better..

 * lutherblisset, I just saw it on your website, and it looks good. If you want,
   you can put out the artwork, so the player will not be so big, and instead will
   appear the “play” icon. I think that way looks like the Flash one, more or less…
   🙂

 * Hello WPLubalee, now I deactivated and reactivated the plugin, and finally I 
   placed the iframe code, and it works. Strange… Thank you very much***

 * Finally, Madame LubaLee, I have one question: Is there an option for using the“
   buy…” parameters within html? Or are you planning to introduce this? Thanks and
   good nite from Europe***

 * Hey, Easy Jay, I’m very happy to hear that! It _is_ strange, though but _if it
   works, don’t touch it_ 😉

 * Hello!
 * I didn’t know about the buy button, so I researched a little and I found that
   it is possible to configure it on the editor of the sound (or song) itself. Read
   this, and hope it helps: [http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/266782-how-do-i-add-a-%22buy%22-button-to-my-tracks-](http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/266782-how-do-i-add-a-%22buy%22-button-to-my-tracks-)
 * As for customisation, also in HTML5 you can change the “highlight” color, if 
   you want, so it matches better any design.
 * Good morning from Europe, too. 😉
