How do I embed my podcast in WordPress?

To add a Transistor player to a WordPress post or page, paste its embed code into a Custom HTML block.

On WordPress.com, you can only add the player's embed code on a plan that allows plugins, once hosting features are activated. On Free, Personal and Premium plans, you can try pasting your episode's share link into an Embed block instead of a Custom HTML block. See WordPress.com's guide to adding code. Self-hosted WordPress sites don't have this limit.

Here's how it works in the WordPress block editor:

Prepare your post or page in WordPress

Get your post ready. On a separate line, create a new block and search for "Custom HTML".

Get your podcast embed code

In Transistor, go to the Episodes tab.
Click the ... menu next to the episode you'd like to embed.
Click Embed.
Copy the embed code.

Paste your embed code into WordPress

Back in the WordPress editor, paste your embed code into the Custom HTML block:

When you preview your post or page, you'll see the player.

Troubleshooting iframes in the WordPress block editor

If the player doesn't appear, your WordPress user probably doesn't have the unfiltered_html permission needed to add iframes. By default:

On multisite installations, only Super Admins have the unfiltered_html capability.
On single-site installations, only Admins and Editors can add iframes.

Some WordPress users get around this by installing the Advanced iFrame plugin.

Other plugins you can use

You can also connect these plugins to your Transistor RSS feed and use their player:
