Hello Radu After extending my support for with you for another 6 months, I’d like to approach you again, regarding an ongoing issue of where only 5 songs are appearing on an artist’s profile page. After selecting “Songs” on their profile page, the number of songs showing are 5, even though the artist has more than 5 songs posted. I am hoping that either all songs can be show in a single page, or that they can be shown in a paginated way, on their ‘Songs’ page within their profile area. I’d be happy to send examples, or provide you with access to the site again, if needed. Thank you.
Hello
Please send me wp-admin login on my email, complete with users on which’s profiles do not display more then 5 songs
I’ll help
Cheers!
Radu
Hello Radu, I’ve sent the email, with the info you’ve requested. The email was sent to the gmail account as that is the only email I have for you.
Rich
Radu, You are brilliant!
Did some updates today, including the latest version of the plugin. Now the font for the song name has become huge. Need to make it smaller again. Thoughts?
It should be noted that the following showcase shortcode is used to display the songs… [zoomsounds_showcase feed_from=”audio_items” ids=”” style=”widget_player” orderby=”date” order=”DESC” count=”15” style_widget_player_show_likes=”off” artist_name_is_author_name=”on”]
BTW, is there a full list of options for the showcase codes?
Thank you, Radu.
Here is a new (possibly not so new) question for you. At this moment, I show a listing of ‘new’ songs on the front page of the site. I’d like to slim it down a bit and was wondering what the options might be for the shortcode, so that I might be able to list more than 15 at a time. Due to limitations in the space available on the page and the size of the items listed, only 15 are available to be listed at present. This is the code I currently use: [zoomsounds_showcase feed_from=”audio_items” ids=”” style=”widget_player” orderby=”date” order=”DESC” count=”15” style_widget_player_show_likes=”off” artist_name_is_author_name=”on”]
Hello
The count parameter should work
'feed_from' => 'audio_items', // -- audio_items ( Audio Items ) or products ( WooCommerce ) 'cat' => '', // -- input a category slug 'paged' => '', // -- the page number 'slideshow_time' => '100', // -- slideshow number in seconds for 'count' => '5', // -- number of items per page 'ids' => '', // -- select some ids for example 1,2,50 'style' => 'playlist',// -- style - playlist, widget player 'order' => 'DESC', // DESC or ASC 'orderby' => 'date', // -- date, likes, views
Cheers!

Hello, once again. A question from one of my site members prompted this question… “Has the ‘delete’ button been pulled? I’d like to delete some songs before they get an official release.”
I’m hoping that an answer might be something that I’m currently overlooking. Thanks Radu.
ping… Need to ensure this is read and replied to by Radu.
Hello
Get the latest update and make sure you have this setting enabled
https://zoomthe.me/knowledge-base/zoomsounds-audio-player/article/enable-extra-stats-delete-button/Cheers!
Radu
Thank you, Radu. Hope your New Year is a good one.
Hi, please tell me why such an error occurs – MEDIA_ELEMENT_ERROR: Empty src attribute
Hello
Please comment on the item you purchased
Cheers!
Radu
There were problems in the plugin or Wordpress / ZoomSounds Addon, but I decided everything thanks.
Do I have to buy both Music Sharing Platform – for Wordpress / ZoomSounds Addon, BuddyPress integrated to use it on buddypress
Hello
Yes
Cheers!
Radu
Another question and, possible, request. Is it possible to show all songs that an artist has posted on their BuddyPress profile page, either paginated, or all on a single page? This might be a BuddyPress question, but I thought it best to start here.
Hello
You should have Songs tab for each user profile
Cheers!
Radu
Yes, there is a “songs” tab. However, the number of songs being shown on that tab appears limited to 5, not showing the whole library of the artists uploads. It is my hope that this can be changed to show the total library of songs that the artist has uploaded to the site.
Hello
The new limit is 50 from update 1.05
Cheers!
Radu
Thank you! Well done.
I’m receiving reports that some users profiles are still only showing 5 songs by the artist, even though they have more than five that have been uploaded. I have confirmed that this is indeed the case. Any thoughts?
We’ll investigate
Thank you!
Radu
I appreciate that, Radu. Thank You.
Good morning, Radu. How is everything going?
Hello
Send me a link to check
I have checked my install and the limit should be 50 for all account
Have you tried clearing cache ?
Cheers!
Radu
That assumes that one uses a cache. I do not use a cache system, unless it is one that I’m unaware of.
Hello
Browser cache
Can you show me a link ?
To the user profile that has more then 5 songs, and yet only 5 songs appear
Cheers!
Radu
Cleared the browser cache. Here is a link, as requested: https://indiemusic.space/members/wyndsok/songs/
Hi!
You would have to send me wp-admin login on my email to check
Cheers!
Radu
As long as you don’t move around my widgets. I’ll see if I still have your email address to sent that info to.
Email sent.
Hello Radu. After some time and some health issues, I’ve begun trying to track this ongoing issue down. Just checking in to see if you’ve had any success in tracking it down and, possibly, providing me with any further information about it. Thanks. – Rich
ping… Need to ensure this is read and replied to by Radu.

Fixed
Thanks for waiting!
Thank you for working on that. I’ve send an email reply, after receiving your initial response. I really appreciate your dedication and hard work and for putting up with me on this issue.
Does this have bulk upload?
Hello
For backend, yes
For frontend upload , no
Cheers!
Radu
Would you mind creating a addon for wc vendor pro? Where marketplaces can sell audio
Hello
It’s compatible with woocommerce
Cheers!
Radu
Here is a request for you Radu, if possible. It would be nice if the artist name, on the song page (example here: https://indiemusic.space/audio/foreign-city-blues/ ) could be larger and link to their buddypress profile. I hope that is possible. Thanks.
Hello
We will add this in a future version
Cheers!
Radu
@Sweepside -
In order to create the upload form, you would need to ensure you have purchased the Portal aspect and then insert the shortcode [zoomsounds_upload] on the page, or post, you wish uploads to be available from.
Your plugin is very confusing. How do I create the form for front-end submission?
Hello
For some questions – https://zoomthe.me/knowledge-base/zoomsounds-audio-player/article-categories/portal/
Cheers!
Radu
Wondering if there is a way to allow apostrophe’s and other ‘special characters’ in the filenames of the tracks. I’ve already informed users that such is not allowed, but most don’t read the pop-up that I’ve placed on the upload page.
Hello
Can you tell me of a name that is not permitted ?
So I can do some tests
Cheers!
Radu
The issue, as I’ve seen it is the use of apostrophe’s and “quotes”. When used in the filenames they are augmented with a \’ or \” in the filename links created by the upload process. The filename, itself, remains unchanged causing a mismatch between the the file the plug-in is looking for and the filename of the audio track.
An example would be: https://indiemusic.space/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Dueling_Banjo\'s_by_Illuminator.mp3, as the ‘source’ link in the plug-in, where the actual filename is: https://indiemusic.space/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Dueling_Banjo's_by_Illuminator.mp3You can see the issue at this link: https://indiemusic.space/audio/dueling-banjos-by-illuminator/
Hello
Fixed .. download 1.04 version of portal
Cheers!
Radu
Thank you. Can one use the autoupdate, or do I need to download the 1.04 Portal version?
Tested, after autoupdate and while it does show the source filename matching that of the actual filename of the server. However, the audio still showing a “MEDIA_ELEMENT_ERROR: Empty Attribute message. I hope I’ve get the relevant info in these screen captures…
https://indiemusic.space/1870-2/I will try grabbing the update from the download button here, and try again.
Hello
You can download via codecanyon
Do you have actual link to that file ( not image )
Cheers!
Radu
Will download it today and test it. Thank you Radu!
Tried to download it and install it, but received “Destination folder already exists. Plugin installation failed.” message. So, perhaps I don’t have the proper link.
Hello
Have you deleted the plugin first ? ( before installing )
cheers!
Radu
Of course not. I wouldn’t do that on an operational site, unless it is absolutely necessary. Would need to schedule a time and notify users in order to do such a thing.
Rich
I’m starting to worry about you, Radu. You’ve not been available in over a week. Are you alright? Are you well?
Hello
Yes, sorry – just been on vacation
Will reply to tickets asap
Cheers!
Radu
New information regarding the artist name issues: It would appear that regardless of the artist uploading a song, the artist name always appears as that of the administrator. In order to successfully edit the artist name, correcting it to the name of the one who uploaded the song, one goes to the song page, clicks “Edit”, then scrolls down to the “Artist name” entry, near the bottom of the edit screen, just above “Wrapper Image” and entering the proper artist name in that text box. Hopefully, this info will help track the issue down.
I should reiterate and mention again, that the artist name issue appears in the short code used to display the name in the lists (Newest Songs, Top X song, etc.) and not necessarily on the song item itself.
This is the shortcode being used on the Newest Song listing, as an example and reference: [zoomsounds_showcase feed_from=”audio_items” ids=”” style=”widget_player” orderby=”date” order=”DESC” count=”12” style_widget_player_show_likes=”off”]
Radu, What can I do to help get this issue taken care of? It would allow me to get more sleep, instead of babysitting the site. Bribes? Mass email advertising for you? Purchase another 6months or 1 year of support?
Hello
Thanks for the patiance
Fixed in 5.47
Just update via zoomsounds > autoupdater
Cheers!
Radu
Thanks. Will run the test again. 
OMG! Even though my version shows 5.46 now, IT WORKED! I’m so happy. Thank you, Radu!
I’ll now leave you to work the rest of the list.
Now, I have only a minor change to ask of you, regarding this fix. I noticed that it select the name from their users “First Name” in their user account info on WordPress. Is it possible to change this to their “Displayed Name Publicly As” name, preferably, or the users “Nickname”?
Hello
Done
ZoomSounds > autoupdater
Cheers!
Radu
You Rock!
Noticed in an area on the Zoomsounds player item that in response to a question about continuous playback the following is stated:
“DOES THIS ALLOW CONTINUOS PLAYBACK? Only if your theme supports that ( it does not depend on zoomsounds )
If you have a theme like this -> https://themeforest.net/item/qu-the-creative-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/17759297
( no page refresh between page change )
For music to continue playing while changing page
We also made a free plugin for any theme
However, the plugin mention appears to be no longer available for, as mentioned, free. Is this an error, or is the comment in need of being updated?
Hello
That plugin is free, and has a premium version, with loading effects
We also have a theme in development that has ajax support native and will be optimized for zoomsounds
Cheers!
Radu
I’m looking forward to being able to see and test that theme. Thank you, Radu.
Regarding the elusive Artist Name Display problem… The issue is only visible on the song listings, as created when using the shortcodes to create either “Tops Song” lists, “Newest Songs” listings, or similar type lists. In my particular case, the artist name is always replaced with that of the administrators name.
Still would need to see a screenshot or a link
We have many modes like that …
cheers!
Radu
I sent one to you.
Here is the shortcode that we use to display the listing that is included in the screenshot I sent: [zoomsounds_showcase feed_from=”audio_items” ids=”” style=”widget_player” orderby=”date” order=”DESC” count=”12” style_widget_player_show_likes=”off”]
Any assistance would be tremendously appreciated.
I see the issue
I’ll get back to you for this today
Cheers!
Radu
That’s good news. I hope you did find the issue and can get it taken care of. That would make my month! Thank you!
Hello
By default, the artist name is the author name and if a artist name is inputed in the song upload form, it will overwrite that
If you want to force author name as artist name, just append this attribute to your shortcode
artist_name_is_author_name="on"
zoomsounds 5.47
Cheers!
Radu
This is place with the upload shortcode?
in the
[zoomsounds_showcase]shortcode
Thank you, Radu. Will give that a try.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work. However, I may have done something wrong…
Here is a copy of the shortcode that includes the added line you mentioned…
[zoomsounds_showcase feed_from=”audio_items” ids=”” style=”widget_player” orderby=”date” order=”DESC” count=”15” style_widget_player_show_likes=”off” artist_name_is_author_name=”on”]
BTW, I should add that the version running on my WP install is: Version 5.43.
Didn’t know, or was not notified of a version update (5.47??).
Hey
Update via zoomsounds > autoupdater
It’s not on codecanyon yet, that is why there is no notification
Cheers!
Radu
Hi, For a community networking website can users upload directly onto their profile page.
Hello
It’s integrated with Buddypress . Users upload on their profile > songs tab
Cheers!
Radu
Radu – Just found another issue. It appears possible that when a song title has an apostrophe included in the name the URL of the song is in someway getting messed up where the system can’t understand it. This produces the an missing metadata error. It doesn’t appear to happen on all songs, which is perplexing. However, in the one case I’ve been working with, it was able to be fixed by renaming the actual file and the “Source” data to match in the Audio Item Settings section. Please advise.
Pretty sure it is the inclusion of special characters in the filename of the song that may be causing problems. Hopefully, it is a starting place to look.
Hello
It’s fixed 1.03
Thanks for the notice!
Radu
Just installed the latest version and have been receiving “Missing Media Element: errors after uploading songs, during our testing. Reverted to a previous version and all it working again, with the exception of the Artists Name still not displaying correctly.
Please advise, Radu. Thank you
Hello
It’s fixed 1.03
Thanks for the notice!
Radu
Radu – I just want to make sure we are on the same page and I don’t wind up downloading old files or data. These topic links are becoming confusing to follow. How would you suggest this be done to make things easy and un-encumbersome for you?
Hello
We’ll fix all issues
Cheers!
Radu
