# Shortcode broken

 * Hello.
 * This post is referring to this page, which is an archive of all podcasts on adwise.
   se: [https://www.adwise.se/podcast/](https://www.adwise.se/podcast/)
 * Up til recently, I was using this to display the player:
 *     ```
       global $ss_podcasting;
       $file = $ss_podcasting->get_episode_download_link( get_the_id() );
       echo $ss_podcasting->media_player( $file, get_the_id() );
       ```
   
 * Just a few minutes ago, after I noticed the player was broken because it referred
   to the **title** of the post instead of the actual .mp3 file, I changed it to
   this:
    `echo do_shortcode('[podcast_episode episode="' .get_the_id(). '" content
   ="player"]')`
 * However this does not work either. And before you ask; yes, I changed “get_the_id()”
   to just an actual ID of a podcast just to make sure, and it didn’t work then 
   either.
    So I’m concluding that `$ss_podcasting` or `[podcast_episode]` is broken.
   Or both, I suppose.
 * Please advise.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi Dekket, we are looking into this and will get back to you as soon as possible
   with more information about what could be going on here. I’ve not seen this issue
   myself (use the plugin on 2 of my shows), but will see what’s going on.
