Word Press template?

Post by wen » Thu May 30, 2019 6:59 am

My website template updated and now has a bunch of ecommerce stuff on it I don't want.

Rather than re-work this one, I thought this would be a good time to start fresh and get a more updated look. I looked around here but didn't see any specific mentions of a theme.

Can anyone recommend a WP template that has features like an mp3 player and image gallery (for album covers or placement images etc)? I know many people link to Soundcloud. I have an mp3 player embedded currently but thought there might be a template with one already in it (preferably free, haha!)

Thanks compadres.

Wen, hi.

I think because so many services have embed codes for their players you won't necessarily find this, nor do you need it.

My wife is a site designer and gets a lot of mileage out of something called Divi Theme (sorry, I don't think its free but it can't be terribly expensive).

It allows you to stream music directly from your site, any files that you have uploaded.

I use a combination of self hosted streaming, SoundCloud embed codes, and Spotify embed codes.

Hope that helps!

Jay :)

Hey Wen,

Elementor is worth a look, you should be able to search for it in wordpress’ plugin repository. It’s a page builder, similar to divi i think. It has templates of its own but you can edit them or build one from scratch as well. I played around with it a few months ago and found it very flexible and intuitive. I cant remember of there is a built in audio player tho.

It works on top of a wordpress theme, once you start you’ll see how it works.

Hope that helps!

Owen.

Just wondering. Did you decide on a theme? Is it up?
