AjaxPress – SPA & Ajax Navigation with Persistent Audio Player for Radio vs Simple Ajax Search

Your radio stream, podcast or music keeps playing while visitors browse your whole site. On a normal WordPress site, every click reloads the page – and the audio stops. Listeners have to press play again, and most of them don’t. AjaxPress replaces full page reloads with instant ajax navigation, so the player never cuts out. Unlock Pro Features – Advanced features and priority support Audio and video never stop. Live radio streams, podcast episodes and music keep playing seamlessly across every page. Built for radio stations, podcast networks and music platforms – the one thing a normal WordPress site cannot do. Instant page loads. Visitors get smooth page transitions with no white screens and no waiting. Lower bounce rates, longer sessions. How It Works AjaxPress intercepts internal link clicks and loads the next page over ajax instead of a full browser reload. Real URLs are preserved via the History API, the page title and head metadata (canonical, OpenGraph, JSON-LD) are synced on every navigation, and back/forward buttons work exactly as expected. Search engines crawl your site normally – nothing changes for SEO. Compatible With Your Theme, Page Builder, and Plugins AjaxPress is built for maximum compatibility and tested against the most popular themes, page builders, and plugins. Just activate – no configuration needed. Themes: Astra, GeneratePress, Kadence, OceanWP, Hello Elementor, Blocksy, Neve, Divi, Avada, Flatsome, Storefront, and more. Page builders: Elementor, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Divi Builder, WPBakery, Oxygen, Breakdance, Zion Builder, Spectra, Gutenberg, and more. Page builders are supported on the frontend – the pages they build navigate like any other. Editing is left alone: when you open a page in Divi, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Oxygen, Breakdance or the Customizer, AjaxPress recognises the builder and steps aside completely, so the builder loads exactly as it would without the plugin. Nothing to configure. If you have turned on “SPA for Admin Dashboard”, we still suggest leaving it off while you build. Forms: Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Formidable Forms, Ninja Forms, Fluent Forms, Elementor Forms, and more. Caching: WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, SG Optimizer, Cloudflare, Bunny CDN, and more. SEO: Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, and more. eCommerce: Full WooCommerce compatibility including products, cart, checkout, and extensions. Also works with Easy Digital Downloads. Modern JS frameworks: React, Vue, Solid and Alpine.js pages work without style breaking or script conflicts. Browsers and devices: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Opera, on desktop, tablet and mobile.

The free version is powerful – AjaxPress Pro unlocks advanced features and priority support for sites that need more. See AjaxPress Pro Plans and Pricing Source Code The JavaScript that runs on your site is minified for size. The unminified source it is built from ships inside the plugin, under src/, along with the Vite configs and package.json needed to rebuild it. src/frontend/ builds public/js/ajaxpress.min.js and src/admin/ builds public/js/admin.min.js, both with Vite. From the plugin folder: npm install npx vite build --config ./src/frontend/vite.config.js npx vite build --config ./src/admin/vite.config.js Privacy & External Services AjaxPress does not send anything anywhere on its own. Nothing below runs unless you turn it on or connect it, and none of it touches your visitors: no data from your site’s frontend is ever collected. PackEdge (optional diagnostics) Optionally, and only with your explicit consent, AjaxPress can share non-confidential diagnostic data (such as PHP and WordPress version and plugin settings) with api.packedge.dev so we can reproduce and fix issues faster. You can review exactly what is shared and opt out at any time. See the PackEdge site and privacy policy. Cloudflare (edge caching, optional) If you connect a Cloudflare account on the Cache screen, AjaxPress talks to the Cloudflare API at api.cloudflare.com on your behalf to read zones and manage caching rules for your site. Nothing is sent to Cloudflare until you connect. See the Cloudflare privacy policy and terms. If you use the one-click “Connect with Cloudflare” option, the authorization step passes through an OAuth relay we operate at ajaxpress-oauth.astory.workers.dev. The relay exists so the OAuth client secret never has to ship inside the plugin. It exchanges the authorization code for a token and hands it back to your site; the token is stored encrypted in your database. You can skip the relay entirely by pasting your own Cloudflare API token instead, which never leaves your server except to Cloudflare.

With this plugin you can create very easily a dynamic ajax search engine of your blog. For setup this search engine use the followings [shortcodes]: [sas-input] Write this shortcode where you want the input components for the dynamic search, and you get: * One input field where write words to search into the blog with WordPress engine. * Several categories to filter the search depending what you checked. By default all checked. If you want you have some attributes to customize this shortcode: * [sas-input blank="true"] if you want to open in new window each link of the results. It’s false by default. * [sas-input dashicons="dashicons-admin-post"] this is an example to change the icon of each link. * [sas-input headings="#29AAE3"] this is the color by default for headings, but you can put here what you want. * [sas-input checked="#F8931F"] this is the color by default for checked categories to filter the search. * [sas-input unchecked="#ccc"] this is the color by default for unchecked categories to filter the search. * [sas-input not_found="Sorry but there are no results for your search."] put here the text you want to show when there are no results. Also you can change the placeholder of the input field with the content of the shortcode. This is the value by default: * [sas-input]Write here your search...[/sas-input] An example: [sas-input blank="true" dashicons="dashicons-welcome-write-blog" headings="#ccc"]Write here...[/sas-input] Note: Code of dashicons [sas-result] With this one the plugin show the output of the search in real time with the ajax engine. You can see the structure of this in the screenshots. You don’t need put for this shortcode any attribute, but could be you want to add some aditional css for the best integration with your theme. In summary just put [sas-input] where you want the input for the search, and put [sas-result] where you want the results. You will usually put them together, but you can decide how, like use a conditional widget into a sidebar for the first one.
