Use [broadcast_list] or [single_broadcast] shortcodes anywhere to show your visitors list of avaliable broadcasts or some single broadcast
#####Shortcodes
- [broadcast_list cast_status="all" num="4" display="row" link="yes"] - shows list of existing streams. Attributes: cast_status - all, live, coming_soon, ended; num - number of broadcasts to show; display - row, col; link - yes, no.
- [single_broadcast id=""] - shows selected broadcast by ID or last added, if ID is empty.
####Page with single Broadcast not displaying correctly
You need to set up Add HTML markup for opening page wrappers and Add HTML markup for closing page wrappers options at WP-Admin -> Settings -> vpBroadcast Lite.
To loacte this wrappers - you need to open in editor template page.php or index.php from your theme. Next you need to find the loop. The loop usually starts with a:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) :
and usually ends with:
<?php endif; ?>
But this varies between themes. Opening and closing wrappers - it's HTML markup before and after these code parts.
If you can't correctly setup opening and closing page wrappers - you may use shortcode [single_broadcast] to display your broadcast at any post or page.
