Description
Connect your Ausha RSS feed (feed.ausha.co) and:
- Embed the Ausha player anywhere with the “Ausha Player” Gutenberg block or the
[ausha_player]shortcode — latest episode, a specific episode, or the whole show as a playlist. Color is customizable and dark mode is available. - Automatically import your episodes as blog posts or as a dedicated “Episodes” content type (with its own /episodes/ archive and per-show pages at /show/your-show/), including the player, editable episode notes, the cover as featured image, and the transcript when available. New episodes are imported automatically after each publication, and episodes edited on Ausha are refreshed on your site.
- Connect several shows, each with its own language (Polylang/WPML), category, publish status and player colors.
Only Ausha feeds are supported. Learn more about Ausha.

External services
This plugin connects to Ausha (https://www.ausha.co/), the podcast hosting and marketing platform, to provide its features:
- feed.ausha.co — your show’s RSS feed is fetched to list and import your episodes. Sent data: the feed URL you configured and your site URL (as HTTP user agent).
- player.ausha.co — the Ausha Smartplayer is embedded as an iframe, with its official companion script (ausha-player.js) for responsive resizing. Loaded on pages where a player is displayed.
- image.ausha.co / transcriptfiles.ausha.co — episode artwork and transcripts referenced by your feed are downloaded when importing or displaying episodes.
No personal data about your visitors is sent by the plugin itself; the embedded player is served by Ausha like any media embed. Terms of service: https://www.ausha.co/gtcu/ — Privacy policy: https://www.ausha.co/privacy-policy/
