== Installation ==

Install using WordPress:

1. Log in and go to 'plugins' -> 'Add New'.
3. Search for 'mp3-jplayer' and hit the 'Install now' link in the results, Wordpress will install it.
4. Activate the plugin.

Install manually:

1. Download the zip file and unzip it.

3. Activate the plugin through the WordPress 'Plugins' menu.


== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Make sure you check out the [Support Site](http://mp3-jplayer.com/help-docs/) for lots of helpful info!


= Supported file formats ? =
mp3, m4a, mp4, oga, ogg, wav, webm, webma.

= Theme requirements ? =
Themes need the standard wp_head() and wp_footer() calls in them.

= Can't locate audio message ? =
Check your filename/url spelling if you're writing them manually. Remove any accented letters from mp3 filenames (Delete the originals and re-upload if they're from the library).

= Player doesn't show up ? =
This will happen if the playlist you've asked for doesn't result in anything to play, for example if you're using 'FEED' and the folder path is incorrect or remote, or if you're playing remote urls and the option 'allow mp3s from other domains' is unticked.

= Header and footer players ? =
Use widget areas if available, or you can use the do_shortcode() function in template files.

= Player shows but doesn't work ? =
Most times it's because of a hard-coded javascript that's in your theme or another plugin. Try switching to a default WordPress theme and see if the player works. Try deactivating other plugins one-by-one and check each time to see if the player works. 

= Report bugs/issues ? =
Either on the [forum at Wordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mp3-jplayer), or [here](http://sjward.org/contact).

* Fixed the pick-up of titles and images when playing attached audio using the playlist widget.
