Hello, I have the page http://kyo.org.au which has been built using My Music Band Pro theme. I have a few queries which would be greatly appreciated if you could answer:

1. Is it possible for there to be additional space for the text on the header top playlist? E.g. if you go to the site now and select “5. The Nutcracker Suite – Tchaikovsky”, the last word is cut off slightly.

2. Is it possible for the playlist name to be displayed in the Header Top Playlist?

2. Is there an easy way to make the Header Top Playlists from pages which have other text on them? Specifically for example, when I tried selecting this page as the one for the header top playlist (https://kyo.org.au/recordings/wanderlust/), the image and the image text was also included so I needed to make a separate page with the same playlist and no image in order to display it properly.

@kyo: To increase the width of the playlist caption.
Go to Appearance => Customize => Additional css and add the following css

.wp-playlist-caption {
    max-width: 100%;
}

You will need to customize the theme to display the playlist name using a child theme. Let me know if you are comfortable with child theme customization.

You will need to create a playlist with only the required audio tracks to include in the playlist.
Let me know if you have any more issues.

Hi, many thanks for replying.

I don’t have much experience with child themes but if you let me know the required steps to take I’d be more than happy to follow along.

Regarding the final query I’m not 100% sure if you understood what I am looking for.

So I was trying to use the playlist on this page (https://kyo.org.au/recordings/wanderlust/) as the header top playlist. However, because there’s an image on the page it looks like this when I preview adding that page:
https://imgur.com/a/ozpMIJQ

So what I had to do as a workaround is create this page (https://kyo.org.au/header-top-playlist/) which doesn’t have the image but has the same audio tracks.

Is there a way to skip this intermediate step, i.e. is there a way to get the Header Top Playlist to ignore any image or text on the page so only the audio playlist is displayed?

Hello, any update on this?

[tikaram]

@kyo: When you select a page all the contents of the page will be selected. Since a page may contain text images and playlist all the contents of the page will be displayed. You will need to create a separate playlist to display as a header top playlist which doesn’t contains other texts and images. Can you please let me know where you would like to display the name of the playlist in the header. Let me know if you have any more issues.

Hi Tikaram,

I understand what you’re saying about the need to create a separate playlist for the header top playlist. However what I’m asking there is whether it’s possible to put some code in or if an update on your end is possible so that the header top playlist can ignore anything that’s not the playlist itself – this would be a huge help to our site.

Regarding the name of the playlist, I’m wondering whether it can appear in the same fashion as on the normal playlists, in italics under the name of the song (see https://kyo.org.au/recordings/wanderlust/).

@kyo: I will need to talk with the development team regarding the issue. I will let you know when I hear back from them.

Hi Tikaram,

Many thanks for looking into this for me.

Regarding the name of the playlist, could you advise whether it can appear in the same fashion as on the normal playlists, in italics under the name of the song (see https://kyo.org.au/recordings/wanderlust/).

[tikaram]

@kyo: The playlist name can be displayed with the help of following additional css
Login to your WordPress admin. Go to Appearance => Customize => Additional css and add the following css.

#top-playlist-section .wp-playlist .wp-playlist-item-album {
    display:block;
}

Let me know if this helps resolve your issue.

Hi Tikaram,

Many thanks, this works well. Let me know once you hear back from the development team regarding whether the header top playlist can ignore anything on a page that’s not the playlist itself.

[tikaram]

@kyo: I talked with the development team and they said it can be done by using child theme on your site but cannot be released on theme update as it affects all other users using the same theme. Let me know if you are comfortable with child theme customization.

Tikaram

Hi, I’m not too familiar with child theme customisation but if you provide the relevant steps I’m more than happy to follow. Please let me know the steps I need to take.

[tikaram]

@kyo: I will contact you shortly by email.
