Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin converts all SoundCloud shortcodes into embeddable SoundCloud players. It works for any SoundCloud track, playlist, user, or group. Once you install this plugin, it will work for any of your WordPress posts & pages.

I mean, sure you could use oEmbed or the snappy new Gutenberg editor to simply paste in a SoundCloud URL; but we like to keep things old-school 😎

A simple example:

com/forss/flickermood[/soundcloud]

More Options

SoundCloud Shortcodes support these optional parameters:

  • width
  • height
  • params

The params parameter passes additional options to the SoundCloud embeddable player. com/docs/api/html5-widget

An example of a track that starts playing automatically, with hot-pink controls:

com/forss/flickermood[/soundcloud]
