Wordpress Audio Insert Problems

[Andrea]

I tried to insert an audio clip into a Wordpress Website http://www.momshousecleaning.com/ (don't laugh - I coded it myself by hand years ago), but instead of a media player, I see the actual code when uploaded -- it's at the bottom of the page under the last picture, media code currently hidden.

What's strange is that on the 'About Us' page, there is another media clip that works just fine, but when I copy that one onto the index page, it also turns into 'just code'.

Any ideas??

Hey!

Could be the theme you are using ... they might be parsing the code differently on certain pages. Look at the PHP.

Good to hear from you!!!

I hadn’t even realized you had responded. I’ve since abandoned that home made theme and use a premodern one. I still haven’t leaned PHP. But thanks.

Adding a Single Audio File in WordPress

Simply click on the add media button on the post edit screen. Next, a media uploader popup will appear on your screen. You need to click on the upload file button to select and upload your audio file. Once it's uploaded, you need to click on insert into post button. 

How do I embed an audio file on my website?
