Περιγραφή

A simple feed widget or shortcode that displays the iTunes set image for the episode and embeds the default WordPress’ internal audio player to play it.

About Podcast Feed Player Widget

WordPress has an RSS Widget, but it doesn’t includes custom podcast tags for the episode image and the audio file, this one does!

Shortcode Usage:

[podcastfeed feedurl="" quantity="" imgsize="" imgclass="" itunes="" google="" soundcloud="" icons=""]Here are our latest podcasts.[/podcastfeed]

feedurl – Your podcast feed address.
quantity – The quantity of podcasts you wish to display.
imgsize – The size of the image you’d like to display, 0 for no image.
imgclass – The class for the image, default is alignleft
itunes – Your iTunes address to display in the icons.
google – Your Google Play address you’d like to display in the icons.
soundcloud – Your SoundCloud address you’d like to display in the icons.

Συχνές Ερωτήσεις

Do you have a shortcode for embedding in pages or posts?

Yes! Shortcode usage:

[podcastfeed feedurl="" quantity="" imgsize="" imgclass="" itunes="" google="" soundcloud="" icons=""]Here are our latest podcasts.[/podcastfeed]

Can I disable the thumbnail?

Yes, you can set the thumbnail size to 0 and then it will not display it.

Why is the thumbnail loaded via Weserv?

The image size on your podcast feed is not optimal and could slow down your site, so we use a free image resize and caching service.

Can it support multiple feeds?

Yes, just enter the feeds with a comma as the delimiter.

What if my image is very large and slowing down the site?

We’ve added a Cloudimage integration so you can add your token and the images are cached and resized on the fly.

What if I don’t have an image?

No worries, the image area will not be displayed.

Can I customize the styling?

Yes, classes are designated for each element.

After searching for a while and struggling with the right terms, I didn't want to CREATE a Podcast. I just wanted to display my episodes in Wordpress. This does that quite neatly.

This is a great option for podcasters who want to have their podcasts available via a WordPress blog. It's easy to setup and it looks great. It has a nice, clean design that won't detract from your site. If you want to see it in action, look at https://bigpodcast.com/blog/ in the right-hand column.

I've been looking for an RSS reader that contains an audio player for so long! This works perfectly with the Widgets on Pages plugin too, so the feed player can be placed anywhere on your site! Thank you for creating this plugin

Worked like a charm, easy to use. Code is well done and easy to modify. It is a great example of how to read an XML feed and do something useful with it, as well. Would love to see it use the standard Playlist (showing multiple files) rather than the series of single Audio Players.

This works well and is just what I needed to feature the latest 3 episodes of a podcast. I love that it also pulls the image, and you can define the size. Thank you!
