    That fixed it. Thank you so much. I’m a happy camper. I wish you all the best.

    Reinstalled the plugin. Customized my colors. All works great except the numbers still do not increment. I have not edited any code or “styles.” I don’t know how to edit “styles.” I don’t even understand what you mean when you say, “…added via CSS.”

    The only way I could get the space between the tracks to go away was to enter the short codes back to back without any spaces or carriage returns in between. Like this: [shortcode][shortcode][shortcode]

    If we can figure out why the numbers don’t increment, I’d be thrilled.

    Thanks again for your time.

    I saw how to edit the colors. Thanks. I have not edited any styles to my knowledge. But I will try reinstalling the plugin.

    Thanks so much.

    Here is what I have. Hopefully I’ve used the “code” button correctly.

    New question. I now have two audio tracks on the page. However, they both are numbered with a “1.” How do I get it to increment the audio file number when I add new links?

    Thanks again for your time.

    Awesome! That worked. The file is playing on the page. But!! It still looks kind of clunky. Isn’t there some way to make it look more like it does in the examples you show? Those look real nice. Mine looks very blocky and clunky.

    Thanks so much for the help so far. Any suggestions on improving the appearance would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Ok, I was able to change settings and got the mp3 file size down to 27 megs. Cool. Loaded it into my media list in WordPress and changed the short codes on my page thusly:

    [audioalbum title=”Freedom Christian Fellowship” detail=”Sunday Morning Messages” date=”2017″]
    [audiotrack title=” Who I Really Am, 3/5/2017″ songwriter=”Tom Meeker” mp3=”http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile1.mp3″%5D

    The link to the file looks like this:
    [audio src="http://freedomcflisbon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Who-I-really-am.-3-5-17.mp3" /]
    which I cut and pasted directly from my media file.

    Unfortunately, the appearance on my web page has not changed and there are still no play buttons or sliders or volume buttons or sliders. I just want it to look something like one of your examples. What am I missing?

    Direct link to the page is: http://freedomcflisbon.com/recorded-messages/

    Thanks so much for the help.

    Hmmmm, I did convert it to an MP3 but that made the file size too large for WordPress to accept. It’s over 65 megs. WMA is only 40 megs. I also checked the path to the audio file and the link in the short code matches what is shown in my media file.

    I also tried converting the file to an OGG file. Size was good but WordPress said it wouldn’t use that file type. WMA is small enough as well as SPX, OPUS and AAC conversions. But I can’t find any plugins that will use them.

    I really need to be led by the hand on this one. But we’ll keep trying. I appreciate any ideas you have.

    Ah, found the usage section. Already read that and am still in the dark.

    I know this will sound dumb, but where is the readme.txt file and where is the “usage section of the plugin page?” I’ve looked at the text that came with the plugin and set the colors in the “Appearance/Customize” menu but I still don’t know how to get it to look like it should.

    I installed two short codes on my page as follows:
    [audioalbum title=”Freedom Christian Fellowship” detail=”Sunday Morning Messages” date=”2017″]
    [audiotrack title=” Who I Really Am, 3/5/2017″ songwriter=”Tom Meeker” wmv=”http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile1.wma”%5D

    If you want to see what shows on the page, the URL for the website is FreedomCFLisbon.com. Go to the “Recorded Messages” page and you should see what I’m getting.

    Thanks.
    Tom
