Audio Player Block – Play Audio Beautifully on Any Page vs Post Grid & Post Slider – Carousel, Filter Tabs & Related Posts

Give your visitors a beautiful listening experience – add a stylish audio player with playlists and cover art to any post or page, no code required. Get Pro Version | Support Why Audio Player Block? The default WordPress audio embed is plain and forgettable. Audio Player Block replaces it with a polished, customizable player that fits your design – complete with track titles, artist names, and cover images. Add multiple audio tracks to build a playlist, or select a single file for a simple standalone player. Smart play/pause control plays one track at a time and automatically pauses the others, so overlapping audio never happens. Everything is configured right in the Gutenberg editor, and shortcode support lets you place the same player anywhere on your site. Free Features Multiple Audio Management: Easily add or remove multiple audio tracks with full control over your playlist. Track Details Input: Set a custom title and artist name for each track to keep your content well organized. Cover Image & Audio Upload: Upload audio files along with a cover image for a more engaging, visual player. Player Customization: Adjust width and height, and style colors, backgrounds, and hover effects to match your website. Smart Play/Pause Control: Play one track at a time while others pause automatically; click again to pause the current track. Shortcode Integration: Display the audio player anywhere on your website with a shortcode. Pro Version Want more themes and playback controls?

Click a tab, the grid updates instantly – no page reload. The tabs are built from the categories your grid is already set to show, so a tab can never come up empty. Turn it on with one checkbox. Related posts, without another plugin Keep readers on your site by showing related posts under each article. Match by category, choose how many to show, and display them as a grid or a slider. The post being read is excluded automatically.

One slider and one grid, both fully working – not a trial, not time limited, no feature nagging inside the settings. That is enough for most sites: a grid on your blog page, filter tabs so readers can narrow it down, and related posts under each article. When you would want Pro Pro exists for people who outgrow one grid. You would know if that is you: You need more than one. Different grids on different pages, each with its own categories, columns and colours. Free saves one configuration; Pro saves as many as you like. You want a layout with more character. Pro adds Masonry, Overlay and Magazine to the Default and List layouts you already have. Your related posts should be smarter. Match on tags or any custom taxonomy instead of categories, sort so the closest matches come first, and insert them under every article automatically without editing a template. You want to know what works. Pro records clicks per grid and per post, so you can see which placement earns attention and which quietly does nothing. No visitor data is stored – just daily counters. Your filter tabs need to do more. Any taxonomy, a dropdown instead of buttons, multi select, post counts, and a preselected term. You want the slider to do more. Vertical sliding, continuous ticker mode, 16 easing effects, AJAX pagination and social sharing buttons. One payment, no subscription. See the Pro version and live demos Get support
