my radioDJ wordpress plug in is connecting... song playing is correct and all... but same problem that happened in other request set up. No connection for my site. My website https://racketeerbroadcastassociation.com/Home/request.php just sits blank with no database or code showing other than in home page (index.php)

Then I have no idea  :bash:

If "now playing" is working then request should be working. It's the same plugin accessing the same database

I was told by my web host that it's because the RadioDj scripts are php 5.0 and not used for Wordpress php 7.0 or something along those lines. I was reverted to this site to learn hot to update MySQL to mysqli and what not. So it looks like I got to read and update the PHP codes. Have you dealt with that?

RFU

According to Wordpress my site is php v7.4 but according to my host it's 5.4

And it works fine for me. The only changes I made to the code was to display "now playing with album art". I didn't have to change any of the core code in the plugin

i dont know im just using what infomration they tell me, because I dont know anything about coding and all. Any chance you would be willing to set me up with the .php files you are using (obviously without your credentials) with the album art and see if that makes a lick of difference?

By the way, you're running a RadioDJ demo script. It's not wordpress

Is there a link to download the script ?

So I have downloaded and installed the Wordpress plugin (RadioDJ For WordPress 0.7.0) and got it working.

It's displaying  artist-song details of the currently playing track but I also need it to display the Album Art for the track.

I've noted elsewhere that I need to create a folder on the wordpress server called Album Art and place all the images in there. Are there instructions on how to set this up and then get the Album Art to display ? I also need to do some style work on it to make it fit in with the theme/design of the site. Any pointers on that also much appreciated.

The wordpress plugin will not display album art.

I tracked down the original programmer and he said he could get album art to work "if I paid him"

Says it all really.... He never was interested in the RadioDJ community.


Yes there's bad blood between me and the dev of the WP plugin but I'm still not quite sure what I did to offend him other than asking him to be NICE on the forums. His default reply to most issues was RTFM.... Not in the slightest nice.

Looking at the files, the work seems half done. Album art is mentioned in the php files. I think it just needs someone else to finish it off

Thx for those recent comments and pointers.

So ... looks like a wordpress plugin fixer/modifier type person is needed to fix up the plugin re album art and theme design options.

A nifty front end player wouldn't go amiss either. Hmmmm .....

RFU

There are a number of front end players available in the wordpress plugin directory
