    Hello,

    I am working on a test site (http://www.comoguide.org/test/) and am trying to install Vimuse audio player in the "Listen" section. The shortcode [vimuse id="1"] is being used inside a text widget for "home-section-3". However, the player's CSS is not loading at all. I have added the following to my functions.php file:

    add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

    The player loads correctly together with its CSS only within a clean page (ex: http://www.comoguide.org/test/test/).

    Can anybody tell me why this is happening?

    (Edit to remove code. Link to a file instead pease)

    Here is what front-page.php contains, if that helps:

    The CSS is loading. When you view the page source code it is loading at the bottom of the page. Your page does have some rendering errors on it. It sounds like, but it's most likely an issue with the plugin.. You should contact the ViMuse developer for assistance.

    Hi Victor,

    Thanks for your input. Just wondering - how are you noticing the rendering errors?

    If you view source in Firefox, HTML errors display in bright red.

    Yes, I don't quite understand that error. W3C validator is telling me I have a "stray end tag </head>." On the surface the following seems completely valid to me:

    </head>
    <body class="home blog full-width-content" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage">

    Where would I even go to fix something like this? I hardly changed anything from the original parallax pro theme.
