 * Hello, 
   First, I want to thank you for the great plugin that you have sharing
   with us. My issue:We have uploaded and posted bunch of audio files (more than
   500, on more than 300 pages) for audio practice, and since all the files are 
   local, we stripped out the domain (/wp-content/…) and it worked as expected. 
   After the latest update, none of our audio files were available due to URL validation
   error. Is there something we can do about it, or we need to add our domain to
   every single shortcode?Different than that would be not to update the plugin.
 * Thank you for your valuable time!

 * Yes, you need to add the correct URL to each file unfortunately.

 * Yes, that would also work. However the validation process added to the latest
   version helps to make sure the URL path is correct. Plus if you are using a block
   theme you will not be able to take advantage of the following **_“Added a CSS
   wrapper class for the audio player to make it work better with block themes”_**
   added in the latest version.
 * Kind regards.

   Thank you so much for your reply. I understand. We’ve placed all
   our links without domain, since it’s on local directory and now it will be a 
   lot of work to get everything in normal.Thanks again for your great work! 🙂 
   Cheers!
