For several years I used Soundcloud embedding on my forum, using BB Code, as explained here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=284106&page=2
Now it stopped working, only a message "Please visit Soundcloud.com to listen to this content" and a link show up.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I don't know anything about soundcloud but I've just had a quick try and can get it working, it does give an error when saving the new code below, but if you click continue it works fine.
replace the bbcode with this
<iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url={param}&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&sh ow_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false &visual=true" ></iframe>
make sure "Disable Automatic Link Parsing Within This BB Code" is yes.

Thanks for that - It works. Any chance you can get it working for "Soundcloud Sets" as well? This is the original code we have for that:
<object height="360" width="100%">
<param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url={param}&secret_url=false"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="360" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url={param}&secret_url=false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed>
</object>

Does anyone know if something has changed on Soundcloud, this doesn't seem to work for me (4.2.3)
I wonder if they have change the format of the iframe code, when I go to soundclode, this is a typical embed iframe code they give, which doesn't resemble the above, and has a number id in it rather than the user/track which you see in the URL for the track.
<iframe width="100%" height="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/648721967&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true"></iframe>
EDIT:
sorted:
<iframe width="100%" height="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url={param}&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true"></iframe>
