Description

How to reproduce the issue or how to test the changes:

1. Add a video or audio element inside a listing description where the media URL is placed inside an <a> tag instead of the src attribute.
2. View the listing on the frontend.
3. Confirm that the video/audio does not play due to an empty src attribute.
4. Apply this patch and reload the listing view page.
5. Verify that the media files now load and play correctly.

Details

Fix: Extract src URLs from links in video/audio tags for proper media playback

Problem

• Video and audio tags were rendered with empty src attributes.
• Actual media URLs were incorrectly placed inside nested <a> tags.
• Media players failed to load because the src attribute was missing.

Solution

Implemented fix_media_src_attributes() method that:

• Detects <video> and <audio> tags missing valid src attributes
• Extracts media URLs from links inside the tag
• Assigns the extracted URL to the src attribute
• Removes the now-unnecessary <a> tag nested inside

This ensures WordPress mediaelement.js can properly initialize the media player.

Files Changed

• includes/model/SingleListing.php — Added fix_media_src_attributes() helper method

---

Testing

• ✅ Video files now load and play correctly on listing view pages
• ✅ Audio files now load and play correctly
• ✅ Media players initialize successfully with correct source URLs
