Your listeners shouldn’t have to leave your website to hear you. iRadeo hosts your audio and embeds a player directly on your WordPress page — so every sermon, announcement, and broadcast lives on your site.

For churches: Publish your full sermon archive, add new messages each week, and keep your congregation on your site instead of third-party platforms that show unrelated ads. Standard and Ultimate plans include AI voice generation for service announcements, event reminders, and ministry updates — type the text, iRadeo reads it aloud. No recording equipment needed.

For schools: Broadcast morning announcements, student radio, and weekly audio recaps directly from your school WordPress site. No audio editing. No media server. One shortcode.

For radio stations and creators: Host your playlist, live stream link, or episode archive in a branded player that matches your site — because it’s embedded inside it.

Why iRadeo beats the built-in WordPress audio block:

The default WordPress audio block plays one local file. Your server hosts it, pays for every download, and shows nothing when the file is moved or deleted. iRadeo hosts the audio externally, serves the embeddable player, tracks play counts, and keeps your entire playlist organized — without touching your server. Upload once. Embed anywhere.

Plans start at $10/month. Free trial — no credit card required.

Works with: Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Kadence, and any page builder that supports shortcodes.

Quick setup:
1. Create your hosted audio station — free trial, no credit card
2. Copy your station ID from your iRadeo dashboard
3. Open Settings > iRadeo Player and save the station ID
4. Add [iradeo] to any page or post

Shortcode options:

id — Your iRadeo station ID (optional if saved in Settings)
compact — Set to true for a compact 150px player (default: false)
bar — Set to true for a tiny 96px bar player for sidebars and narrow sections (default: false)
height — Custom height in pixels (default: 280)
width — Custom width (default: 100%)

Examples:

Standard player:
[iradeo]

Church sermon player for a specific station:
[iradeo id=”12345″]

Compact player for a post archive:
[iradeo compact=”true”]

Tiny bar player for a sidebar widget:
[iradeo bar=”true”]

Custom size:
[iradeo id=”12345″ height=”200″ width=”80%”]

Also includes:

A Gutenberg block — search for “iRadeo” in the block inserter
A setup screen under Settings > iRadeo Player
A default station ID so any editor can use [iradeo] without remembering numbers

External Services

This plugin connects to iRadeo (https://www.iradeo.com), a third-party audio hosting and streaming service operated by iRadeo.

What it does: When a page containing the iRadeo shortcode or block is loaded, the plugin embeds an iframe that loads the iRadeo audio player from https://www.iradeo.com/station/player/.

What data is sent: The station ID you provide in the shortcode or block is included in the iframe URL. No visitor personal data (IP address, cookies, user account data) is sent by this plugin — any such data handling is governed by iRadeo’s own privacy policy.

When it is sent: Every time a page or post containing the iRadeo player is rendered and viewed in a browser.

የተለመዱ ጥያቄዎች

Is iRadeo different from the built-in WordPress audio block?

Yes — fundamentally. The built-in audio block plays one file that your server hosts and your hosting plan pays to deliver. iRadeo hosts the audio externally, serves a full playlist player, and tracks play counts — your server sees no audio load at all. It’s the difference between attaching a file and embedding a hosted station.

Does the player keep listeners on my website?

Yes. The player loads inside an iframe on your own WordPress page — your visitors never navigate away to listen. Your site traffic stays accurate, your brand stays consistent, and your congregation or audience stays where you put them.

Can I use this as a church sermon archive?

Yes. Upload each sermon to iRadeo and the platform assembles them into a hosted, ordered playlist. Add [iradeo] to your church website’s Sermons page and the full archive appears automatically — no manual list to maintain, no file management on your server.

Where do I find my station ID?

After signing up for a free trial, your station ID appears in your iRadeo dashboard next to each player. Save it under Settings > iRadeo Player and any editor on your site can use [iradeo] without needing to remember the number.

What plans are available and what do they include?

The plugin is free to install. Audio hosting plans:

Starter ($10/month): Hosted audio, embeddable player, playlist management, play tracking. Free trial included.
Standard ($20/month): Everything in Starter plus AI voice generation for announcements, station IDs, and show intros.
Ultimate ($30/month): Everything in Standard plus higher listener capacity and full AI voice production.

All plans start with a free trial — no credit card required. See full plan details.

Can I embed the player in a sidebar or widget area?

Yes. Use [iradeo bar="true"] for the 96px bar player built for narrow sidebar columns, or [iradeo compact="true"] for the 150px compact player. Both work in any widget area that accepts shortcodes.

Does it work with page builders?

Yes — Gutenberg blocks, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Kadence, and any builder that supports shortcodes or HTML embed blocks.

What is the AI voice feature?

Standard and Ultimate plans include AI voice generation. You type the text — a church announcement, a show intro, a sponsor read, a station ID — and iRadeo generates the audio clip. No microphone, no recording session, no audio editing. The generated clip is added to your station and plays automatically.
