 * My play button isn’t showing on my audio player. You can see it here: [http://redeemerlr.org/wordpress/sermons/](http://redeemerlr.org/wordpress/sermons/)
 * Also, the files in the /views folder override my template making the content 
   background disappear. [http://redeemerlr.org/wordpress/sermons-archive/preacher/bob-lepine/](http://redeemerlr.org/wordpress/sermons-archive/preacher/bob-lepine/)
 * I REALLY don’t want to change plugins at this point in the game, but am getting
   pressure to go ahead and publish as is!

 * After hours of searching through coding (most of which I don’t understand), and
   doing many MANY Google searches, I finally found an answer to the missing play
   button issue. The post that helped me is [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15865409/mediaelement-js-wordpress-play-pause-button-not-showing).
   I had to find the mediaelementplayer.min.css in the wp-includes/js folder and
   change the controls.svg to .png.
 * I still need help with the Template being overridden if anyone gets to this post.
 * Thanks.

 * Been seeing lots of answers around the web, saying that mime types need to be
   adjusted through the htaccess file.
 * Thankfully, there’s an easier answer, at least as of WP 4.0 (maybe earlier, not
   sure).
 * If you add the class “no-svg” to your body tag, then WordPress will use the png
   version of the media player controls instead of the svg.
 * Here are several ways to add a class to the body tag:
