    I have a site currently using Seriously Simple Podcasting (SSP). For reasons not relevant to this ticket, we have decided to stop using SSP. While researching alternatives I found Sonaar MP3 Audio Player which looks great, but I can't seem to get working.

    The feature I'm interested in is the ability to use the player with dynamic custom fields. SSP saves the audio file into a custom field named `audio_file` - see the screenshot of the postmeta in the database. So I tried using the shortcode like this: 

    [sonaar_audioplayer audio_meta_field="audio_file"]

    However, it doesn't work and the player doesn't appear. Yes, I have enabled the `podcast` post type in the plugin settings.

    Next, I tried using the Shortcode Builder just to try. Here's what it gave me:

    [sonaar_audioplayer feed="https://anchor.fm/s/6b8e676c/podcast/play/104064017/httpsd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.netstaging2025-5-13402080751-44100-2-f6316d541676b.mp3" feed_title="Getting Through A Craving" feed_img="https://files.cleanfooddirtygirl.com/20250614003101/17944947-1749084264772-83af704b0e377-scaled.jpg" progress_bar_style="default" wave_bar_width="1" wave_bar_gap="1" player_layout="skin_boxed_tracklist" show_track_market="true" player_metas="meta_custom_heading::Clean Food Dirty Girl Podcast::div"][/sonaar_audioplayer]
    

    This shortcode doesn't work either. I there a problem with my shortcode, or will the MP3 Audio Player plugin not work with anchor.fm links?

    Hi David,
    First of all, we can see that the MP3 URL isn’t working:
    https://anchor.fm/s/6b8e676c/podcast/play/104064017/httpsd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.netstaging2025-5-13402080751-44100-2-f6316d541676b.mp3
    To investigate further, I would need access to the WordPress admin (wp-admin).

    Thanks,

    I'm sorry Alex, I have changed the password correctly this time. Please try to login https://staging.cleanfooddirtygirl.com/wp-admin/ again.

    The problem is that I can't get the shortcode to work:

    [sonaar_audioplayer audio_meta_field="audio_file"]

    Appreciate you taking a look. Thank you

    Hello David,
    The audio_meta_field parameter is exclusive to the Pro version of the plugin.
