Playlist not showing up
« on: May 30, 2017, 02:37:22 pm »
I enabled the playlist function for my main feed and for each of the categories. Here is my code:

Main Feed: [powerpress_playlist image="https://partyfavorz.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/The-2017-Catch-Up.jpg" limit=10]
Category Feed: [powerpress_playlist category="6" image="https://partyfavorz.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/The-2017-Catch-Up.jpg" limit=10]

When I am logged in via the admin it works and looks perfect but when I go to my site in icognito mode or log out of Wordpress it's blank. I turned off Adblocker and httpseverywhere but it still does not show up.

I turned off this Hero plugin I was using for categories and just added some CSS to create my own which works just as good as using the plugin. Short of deactivating all of my plugins, is there anything else I'm missing that could be blocking it from showing up?

See the images below:

Is the page where you've tried the playlist code live now? If so, please post a link to that page so we can take a look.

You said in your first post that you can see the player when you're logged in but not when you're logged out. If you've using a caching plugin, temporarily disable it and see if that helps. Some caching plugins disable their features for users who are logged in.

BRILLIANT! That solved the issue. It's odd, because these player widgets are marked to NOT be cached, which is an option I've selected.

There is an exclude option in my caching plugin. Do I add powerpress.php to the exclusion list or what would I use?

I have asked the lead developer of PowerPress to look at your question and either he will respond here or I'll come back with his response.

I think the challenge you'll face with things like shortcodes being used on Pages on your site is that, the caching plugin is going to cache all of the content on the Page. I don't know if you can get granular enough with the caching controls to tell it to exclude things shortcodes, but all plugins are different, and maybe the one you're using allows for this.

Hello whiwo,

Usually caching plugins provide a box to enter URI (the path portion of a URL , e.g. http://example.com/path/to/file/, the /path/to/file/ is the URI portion) to exclude specific pages. The powerpress.php is just source to the plugin which is loaded along with many other php files for all the plugins and your theme, adding that to an exclude list will not apply to the pages themselves.
