I fixed this by adding the following CSS to Avada->Options->Custom CSS
.fusion-tb-header .podcast_player {
display: none !important;
}
.fusion-tb-footer .podcast_player {
display: none !important;
}
this doesn’t address the root problem, but it does hide the extra players that are being added to the header/footer
Fwiw, I am seeing the same behavior on our website – also utilizing the Avada theme builder.
We are also using the podcast page builder at Podcasting->Add New Episode. After publishing the page, the podcast player (audio in our case) is added to the page 3 times.
After inspecting the source, It looks like the podcast player is being inserted into the header, the body, and the footer.
