Description

Hero adds to Elementor a native online radio player widget compatible with Shoutcast and Icecast streams, displaying the current track title, album artwork, and a history of played tracks. It is designed for people who run web radios and need to embed the player directly into pages built with Elementor, without using external iframes or embed codes provided by the streaming server.

Who Is Hero For?

  • Anyone running a web radio with their own Shoutcast or Icecast server and wanting a player integrated into the WordPress site.

  • Anyone producing radio portals, live podcasts, or music streaming and looking to display a history of the songs played.

How to Download the Hero

Hero is available for download here on Ultrapack. After receiving the .zip file, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin in the WordPress admin panel, select the file, and activate it. With Elementor already installed, the Hero widget will appear in the page editor’s sidebar.

Built for people producing online radio content, the Hero fills the gap between the streaming server and the storefront in Elementor, bringing live metadata, track artwork, and history into the site layout. Setup focuses on the stream URL, leaving full aesthetic control to the visual editor and keeping the listener on the station’s own page.
