Only works with Classic Editor
by locko69·3 years ago
Cool plugin, but only works on pages that use the classic editor.
Most WordPress sites now use a page builder, such as elementor or WPBakery and this plugin doesn’t work with these page builders. Seriously needs updating.
Super!

I like it. Non-fuss and just works.
Good, but could be improved

This plugin makes it easy to insert a SoundCloud audio file as an iframe. I would give it five stars rather than three if it didn’t have these problems:
- There should be an option to stop SoundCloud displaying the “Play more tracks like …” message after the track has finished playing.
- The instructions say that you can change the settings by selecting the iframe in the visual editor and clicking the ‘Add SoundCloud’ button. However, this does not load the existing settings – you have to re-enter the url and the other settings from scratch.
The best!
