    Did you read my previous response? I said what I changed that made it work. You have confirmed that it is working, which is helpful. But it wasn’t previously working. The change did not involve altering caching.

    Yes to the latest version. I’m using [wp_paypal_payment] with no attributes. Caching at every point is almost mandatory these days to get WordPress to function at a decent speed, so yes in plugin and on server. And plugins require constant updating, and themes less so. I don’t know when it stopped working, so I can’t nail it down that way.

    However, I’ll tell you what I found, and you tell me if it is actually a solution. I had one product “Donation”, and I had no value for it. I had “allow other amounts” turned on in settings. My goal was to leave it entirely to the user to set the amount. I gave Donation an amount and added two more “Donation” with different amounts. I tried it again and it worked.

    I did not backtrack to see if a single amount made the same difference. But did I stumble on the answer? Is there a hole in your plugin which could be solved by not allowing no amount for a product? That is what it seemed from my experimenting.

    I see my point of confusion, and apologies to @airdrummer . I have never had the wp-members option for user confirmation turned on because WordPress by default sends an email (kind of) to this effect. I see that wp-members actually allows us to manage activations, whereas WordPress by default offers us no such help. I have managed to isolate the users I needed to, in order to deal with my current situation, and will get wp-members user confirmation in place soon in order to handle it properly into the future. Thanks, @cbutlerjr and @airdrummer .

    I do not have this. Is it possible you have a plugin which is providing this functionality?

    (@wmchugh)

    airdrummer, that would be a great option, but I cannot see such an option. Where should it be?

    Is there perhaps a way in javascript that this initial behaviour could be overridden? I tried

    window.addEventListener('load', function () {
    jQuery('span.mejs-time-float').hide();
    })

    … but it didn’t do the job. Is there anything that would?

    Thanks for the very quick response. If I work it out I’ll post it here for others who know as little as me.

    I believe the original EDD audio player was developed by, or at least promoted by, EDD themselves. They dropped it and recommended this other. For all I know, this “other” may have been the same player repackaged, but that is only a guess. What I do know is it was 100% database compatible. Anyway, I think my only real hope is to custom maintain the old plugin, which is a shame because your looks much nicer.

    Sorry to bother you on a false premise, but I have learned some very important information. I appreciate your responses.

    Hello again. I have just uncovered a misunderstanding I’ve held about EDD for at least six years. Since I started I’ve used EDD Players, because audio files are the core of what I supply. When I first installed EDD, a player plugin came with it. It was later discontinued and I started using another. From the outset EDD had fields for me to store audio sample file locations, and when I changed player plugins, those fields persisted. Only now have I learned that these were injected by the plugins, and the replacement plugin emulated the injected fields of the first – it was never EDD supplying these fields.

    So you are 100% correct EDD does not store audio sample data, but in history EDD Audio Player plugins have supported storing and playing those stored samples in a compatible way.

    Your plugin follows a different strategy and breaks that history of compatibility. If I switch to your plugin I lose all that data, and I can’t afford to do that. Or is this something your paid version supports?

    Conflict with Profile Builder by Cozmoslabs, acknowledged within their support forum, and fix offered ahead of next version. Thanks for responding.

    I am using the free version of EDD, installed straight from WordPress, and totally standard. It has always allowed sample audio files to be specified, and all other EDD audio players I’ve used have played the sample.

    Yes, to users on the front end. Whether they are posts or content blocks on a page that are being re-ordered doesn’t matter. I’m trying to imagine the result before I start building it. I’m imaging a grid of options on a page, where the user can drag and drop options into different positions on the page. They could even be captioned images, so it could be some kind of photo gallery. Or they could be creatively presented posts. Or they could be courses in an eLearning package, if someone has taken this approach.

    Thanks for responding, Thomas. I was trying another PDF viewer plugin and got it working with AJAX, so my search is over for now. What learned is that there is no problem using AJAX, and in the PHP code doing do_shortcode(‘[shortcode att1=”value” att2=”value” etc]’); For what it’s worth, this works, however …
    If the shortcode doesn’t just produce fully functional HTML, but requires JS processing to get it working, you likely have to call something on return from the AJAX call to make that happen. And, if the shortcode doesn’t appear anywhere on the initial page, the JS supporting the shortcode probably hasn’t loaded – so you’ll have to take some action to make it load. But, if these things can be takrn into account, then hot swapping PDF fles being viewed on a page, without using an iframe, is possible (and very cool).
    Of course if you are using an iframe then you don’t need AJAX at all.
