You can embed SoundCloud in your WordPress posts using WordPress feature oEmbed. It supports auto embedding until your URL breaks the line. WP oEmbed library supports Twitter, YouTube and many other popular services. SoundCloud is not yet supported by WordPress but still you have it by using oEmbed with the help of this function: wp_oembed_add_provider()
Adding oEmbed for SoundCloud in WordPress:
Open your theme’s function.php file and add the following code:
function add_oembed_soundcloud(){
wp_oembed_add_provider( ‘http://soundcloud.com/*’, ‘http://soundcloud.com/oembed’ );
}
add_action(‘init’,’add_oembed_soundcloud’);
All done. Now you can simply paste SoundCloud URL on separate line and let oEmbed do auto-embedding.
