Description
Labelfront turns WordPress into a dark, modern website for a record label, a band or a solo music project. You add artists and releases by filling in simple forms; the homepage, artist pages and release pages build themselves.
What you get
- A homepage with a banner, artist cards and the next upcoming releases
- A page for every artist: image, bio, tagline, genre tags, listening links and every release
- A page for every release: cover (click to see it large), date, description, tracklist with track lengths, and Spotify, YouTube or any other listening links
- A releases page with “Coming soon” and “Out now” sections and a filter per artist
- Release dates that work for you: before the date the site says “Out [date]”, from the day itself “Released”. Releases far in the future stay hidden until they get closer (you choose how many months ahead)
- Optional personas: give an artist a character, backstory and fun facts
- About and Contact pages, with your email shown in a way that is harder for spam bots to collect
- An accent colour per artist that carries through buttons, titles and placeholder covers
- Works with any theme, and loads no outside services: the font is included with the plugin
Two example artists with example releases are created when you activate the plugin, so you can see everything working straight away. A step-by-step guide is built in under Labelfront Getting started.

Installation

FAQ
-
Does it work with my theme?
-
Yes. On its own pages Labelfront replaces the theme’s styling with its own design, so the result looks the same with any theme.
-
A release page says “not found”
-
Go to Settings Permalinks and click Save Changes once.
-
Open it under Pages, set Template to “Labelfront: Page” and click Update.
-
Why doesn’t a release show up?
-
It has no date yet, or its date is further away than the number of months set under Labelfront Settings.
-
Can I delete the example artists?
-
Yes. Move Artist One, Artist Two and their four example releases to the Bin once you’ve added your own.
