Title: Play/pause button ceases working Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Play/pause button ceases working * Resolved [Devlin.Donnelly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devlindonnelly/) * (@devlindonnelly) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/playpause-button-ceases-working/) * Hello, * We recently installed this plugin to add music to our site. It starts out working just fine but then if the page is refreshed or if we click a link to go to another page of the site the play/pause button ceases working. * This seems to happen when the music is playing when the link is clicked and/or the page is refreshed. It sounds as though loading the page spawns a second audio stream and the play/pause button controls one audio stream – so you can pause one and the music would then sound ok but cannot be paused. * Any help or advice you could provide about how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. * Thank you much! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-music/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-music/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [righTune](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rightune/) * (@rightune) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/playpause-button-ceases-working/#post-5204081) * Hi Devlin, * Thanks for the feedback.

I visited your website and I heard wonderful music. Your implementation is fine. 🙂 On an ongoing basis, we don’t play any music to 10% of your visitors. By comparing to this “silence” group with all your other visitors, we can measure the impact of the music on your overall users behavior and enhance our play lists (i.e. play more the play-lists/genres that increased your users engagement). This is why there is a small (10%) chance that you won’t hear music on a new session. If you’ll press on the play button at our player the music will start. * p.s. If you got a “silence” session and want to visit the website again, then you’ll need to wait at least 30 minutes till we make a new “raffle” to decide if you are in the “silence” group. Otherwise we will assume it’s the same session. * Regards, * [righTune](http://www.rightune.com) support * Thread Starter [Devlin.Donnelly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devlindonnelly/) * (@devlindonnelly) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/playpause-button-ceases-working/#post-5204228) * Hi, * Thanks for taking the time to check out our site. * After receiving your response I went back to the site and found the same behavior of two music tracks spawning when clicking onto a new page of our site while the player was set to play. * I made a movie of this so that you can see what this behavior looks and sounds like. This was using the Firefox browser on Mac OS X. In this movie you can see how pressing play and pause after clicking a link to open a new page only pauses/ plays one of two audio streams and the music cannot be totally stopped. * Here is a link to the movie: * [http://yogimani.com/YogimaniMusicPlayerBug.mov](http://yogimani.com/YogimaniMusicPlayerBug.mov) * Please take a look at this if you can and let us know if you have any tips on how to avoid this problem. * Thank you so much! * Thread Starter [Devlin.Donnelly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devlindonnelly/) * (@devlindonnelly) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/playpause-button-ceases-working/#post-5204232) * Hello Again, * Since I last wrote you with the link to the video I think I have fixed the problem. * The code for the music player which I had pasted into the WordPress Music Settings was subsequently inserted into our header.php file. So I deleted the code from the WordPress Music settings page and it is still in our header.php file – and now it seems to be working just fine. * Perhaps the code was being inserted twice and ergo two audio streams were spawning. * Thanks again for getting back to me and taking a look at our site. * Plugin Author [righTune](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rightune/) * (@rightune) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/playpause-button-ceases-working/#post-5204237) * Enjoy the music 🙂 Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Play/pause button ceases working’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wp-music_7d3b3d.svg) * [WordPress Music](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-music/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-music/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-music/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-music/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-music/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-music/reviews/) * 6 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [righTune](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rightune/) * Last activity: [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/playpause-button-ceases-working/#post-5204237) * Status: resolved
