Hi All,
Newbie to this forum. I write copy for a website, using WordPress. I only have author rights, not admin. I can't alter the CSS styles, nor can I add child CSS styles. My copy always includes a lot of images, which I upload through WordPress. These get stored on a local server, as follows: https://www.my_company.com/wp-content/uploa...01/an_image.jpg For one article, I also want to include soundclips. I know how to get these to appear in WordPress, but I have a question about the path where they're stored. For reasons that aren't important, I will not be able to specify the soundclip storage path until minutes before the article is published. So what I would like to do is use the <base> tag but leave it empty, so at the last minute, all I'll need to do is this: CODE <head> <base href="https://www.my_company.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/folder_where_Soundclips_are_stored" </head> Meanwhile, I can author my article and insert soundclip paths as follows (knowing that they will all be correctly identified as soon as the <base> URL is known): CODE <body> <audio controls="controls" src="/soundclip 1.mp3"> </audio> . some_text_will_go_here. . . . <audio controls="controls" src="/soundclip 2.mp3"> </audio> . some_text_will_go_here . . . . <audio controls="controls" src="/soundclip 3.mp3"> </audio> . some_text_will_go_here . . </body> BUT...the images will still be referenced using a full URL, because that's how WordPress stores them. So my question is: will setting a <base> path for my audio clips interfere with WordPress's identification of images, or will the discrete image URLs override the <base> tag? And, if so, will I need to re-define the <base> tag every time I want to insert an audio clip? I hope you can understand my problem, and I look forward to an answer from someone who knows about this stuff! Thank you very much for your time.
