@jill simple - I still had it open and on screen from yesterday, when I thought the responsive-embeds was maybe the cause, but I got distracted and only posted my reply there now

@jill Did you make sure you have Theme Support for 'responsive-embeds', it can sometimes be the cause.

```
// Add support for responsive embedded content.
add_theme_support( 'responsive-embeds' );```

This is cool - Watching a big tech CEO use their own product and see them occasionally struggle. A brave and honest move from a product owner.

Really nice attention to Accessibility detail by Jessica from greyd agency.

Why I've been away.

TL;DR: my husband almost died.

I'm still processing what happened. I'll be back soon.

@Edent ah sorry we'll, I suppose you could still just use a standard wordpress hook, probably `save_post` would suit your use case. pass the content through that add some extra check so you only process certain post types etc.

save_post – Hook | Developer.WordPress.org

Fires once a post has been saved.

most popular option seems to be https://github.com/scrivo/highlight.php it's a PHP port of HighlightJS but I cant actually _recommend_ it as I'ver never used it. I've always just used the JS options too.

@genebean Any Podcast Player plugin will do what you want. There are lots of options to choose from on the wordpress plugins list - newer ones have gid Gutenberg block support.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/podcast-player/ gets a lot of uses.

List of other options: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/podcast+player/

Check out a few find one that's kept up to date by the developer and look at screenshost for one that looks OK with minimal config tweaks.
