🔗 Putting The Player Anywhere: Block, Shortcodes And Embeds

Episode pages get their player by themselves, but you can put a player on any post, page, sales page or lesson too. One block and three shortcodes cover every case.

The Audio Player block:

1. Edit any post or page and add the Audio Player block (search for audio, podcast or player).
2. In the block's sidebar, under What it plays, choose Play: One episode, A whole show (playlist), or Any audio file or link.
3. Pick the episode or show, or choose a file with Choose from the Media Library, or paste a link to an audio file.
4. Optional: Title shown on the player (for a clip), Look (Site default or one of the four), Colour (blank = your site colour) and Download button (Site default, Show it or Hide it).
5. Update the page.

Put a player anywhere with a shortcode:

• [raix_audio episode="12"] plays one episode.
• [raix_audio show="3"] plays a whole show as a playlist.
• [raix_audio src="https://yoursite.com/clip.mp3"] plays any clip, with no show needed.

Shortcode options:

• look="card", look="bar", look="button" or look="playlist" for this player only. A single episode or clip shown as a playlist uses the card.
• accent="#7c3aed" for its own colour.
• download="no" to hide the download button, or download="yes" to show it on a clip.
• title="Your own title" for a clip.

Where to find the numbers:

The episode and show numbers are on each episode and show screen, with the shortcode ready to copy: in Episode audio and details (This episode's player, for any page or post) and in Show settings (Put this show on any page as a playlist).

Members-only episodes in a player:

A player for a members-only episode shows the members box (This episode is for members, Sign in to listen, and Join if you set a Join link) to anyone who may not listen. In a playlist, episodes someone may not hear yet are listed with a lock, or with the date they open on a drip show.

Embed on other websites:

1. Publish the episode, and make sure it is public.
2. In Episode audio and details, under Embed it on another website, press Copy. Listeners can also press Embed on the player itself.
3. Paste the code into any other website, such as a guest post or a partner page.

The embed code is a small frame, full width up to 760 pixels and 250 pixels high, and the episode plays right there in the same player. Members-only episodes never play on other websites: they show a button to listen in your members area instead.

Embeds can be switched off on the Settings tab with Embed player for other websites, in The player card.

The My Podcasts page:

[raix_my_podcasts] on any page shows each signed-in member their private links. The Dashboard and Settings tabs make this page for you with one button. See Members-Only Shows And The My Podcasts Page.

The signup form:

The Podcast Signup block, or [raix_podcast_signup show="3"], lets people add themselves as listeners. See Listeners With No Login: Adding, Importing And The Signup Form.

A real example:

On yoursite.com's sales page for coaching you add [raix_audio episode="12" look="bar"] under the first heading, so visitors hear a taste of the show without leaving the page. In a blog post about pricing you add the Audio Player block set to One episode, Pricing Your First Offer, with Look set to Listen button.

Tips:

• Use the listen button look in tight places, like a sidebar or the end of a short post.
• A guest post that embeds your episode is a free way to reach a new audience.
