Wordpress installation instructions
- Access your Wordpress install via FTP, and navigate to /wp-content/plugins/
- Upload the plugin file (in ASCII mode) to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Access your Wordpress administration via your web browser.
- Click on the "Plugins" tab.
- Click the "Activate" button next to the Evoca Browser Mic plugin.
- Determine whether or not your theme is automatically supported (it will tell you immediately after plugin activation, but you can navigate to Plugins > Evoca Browser Mic manually at any time).
a. If your theme is supported, you don't have to do anything! The Evoca Browser Mic will appear on your blog. If you would like to place the Browser Mic manually, read the manual placement section below.
b. If your theme is not supported, you will have to paste one small line into your theme's sidebar. Read on.
Wordpress manual placement
For unsupported themes, or for manual placement of the Evoca Browser Mic, one small line of code needs to be pasted into your sidebar.
Your WordPress theme files can be found via FTP in your /wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/ directory
(YOUR_THEME should be replaced with your actual theme's name). The most common place to put the Evoca Browser Mic is in your sidebar, which is usually contained within the sidebar.php template file.
- Download your sidebar.php file to your desktop, and make a backup copy (you can call it sidebar.php.BACKUP).
- Edit the sidebar.php template file in a plain text editor, and paste this line in the location where you'd like the Evoca Browser Mic to appear:
<?php do_action('evoca') ?>
- Upload this modified sidebar.php file to your theme's directory.
- Navigate to Plugins > Evoca Browser Mic, and check to see if the compatibility message has changed. You could also just check your blog's front page and look for the Evoca Browser Mic to appear in your sidebar.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Evoca Browser Mic plug-in work?
When you install the plug-in, we will place a voice recorder in your blog's navigation bar. Any user that visits your site can leave you a voice recoding using this plug-in.
Where will the voice comments go?
Any new voice recording that is made will be stored in your Evoca account. You will find the recordings made using the plug-in under "Comments" in your Evoca home page.
Can I post the voice recordings to my blog?
Yes! All recordings that are made will come with a custom HTML code you can use to post a voice comment into your blog. So, if a reader leaves you a voice comment that you want to share on your blog, all you do is copy and paste the HTML code provided into your blog post, and your readers will be able to listen.
Does the person who leave me a voice message need to install any software?
No. The Evoca Browser Mic plug-in uses standard browser technology to enable readers to record using their existing settings. All they need is a computer microphone. By simply clicking on the "Record" button, they are ready to go!
Are the voice messages public or private?
All messages are private. When someone leaves you a voice recording, it will be stored, privately, in your Evoca account under "Comments". If you wish to share it with the world, you can insert the player in your blog using the handy HTML code we provide with each voice comment.
How will I know when a reader leaves me an audio message?
We will send you an email each time you get a recording with a handy link to go straight to listen.
