Best plugin for podcasting

by schaarsen·1 year ago

If you want to start a podcast or if you are publishing one and want to migrate to a plugin that really works: Go for Podlove. It’s powerful, it sparks joy and the developer team and the community help gladly with problems.

Ich nutze nie wieder etwas anderes!

Für mich das beste Plugin für meinen Podcast!

Would Not Recommend

by snack8290·3 years ago

It’s been 2 days of 2 programmers trying to get the look of the demo. They still have not done it. AND they haven’t created an “archive” either. Something that normally takes less than an hour… they haven’t done because there is a massive learning curve / programming tweaks / edits using this plugin. I would NOT recommend this plugin.

Looks Buggy on My Elementor Page

by snack8290·3 years ago

Set this up for a client but every page / every shortcode – there were bugs and design flaws. Very hard to use.

Excellent Podcast Plugin

by tansandals·3 years ago

This is one of the most solid podcast plugins out there. It’s cleanly coded, not a bunch of jenky ads all over the place, and does the job very well.

One thing I’d love to see is the ability to have a Dashboard Widget of my stats when I login to my WordPress Dashboard (as opposed to the Podlove Dashboard). Plus, it would be amazing to have a way to have weekly podcast stats emailed to contributors!

Thanks so much for your continued development of this fantastic plugin!
