Setting up SoundCloud.

Create a new app.

Before we move to the options we need to create an app on SoundCloud. Make sure you are logged in to SoundCloud. Follow the below steps:

  1. Visit this link: http://soundcloud.com/you/apps/new and log in if not already.
  2. Now you should see the below screen. Fill in the app name, agree to the policies and click "Register" button.

  3. Copy the 'Client ID'.

Configure the options

Go to 'Dashboard' > 'Buttons X' > 'Settings' and click on 'Social Counters' then open the 'SoundCloud' tab. The following options need to be configured to display SoundCloud followers count.

  1. SoundCloud Client ID
    Insert the ID you copied / noted previously.
  2. SoundCloud User ID
    Your SoundCloud User ID is text based. You can get the ID through your profile page URL.
    1. Through Page URL
      1. Check the image below on how to extract page ID from URL. The text highlighted in the image below is an example of USER ID. For ex: if your page URL is 'https://soundcloud.com/vidyavox' then your ID is 'vidyavox'.
  3. That's it! Now save the settings.
