Description

VEFmusic is a free plugin for a band’s website: an audio player with tracks and albums, a show calendar, visitor ratings, and automatic SEO structured data — all through native blocks, no shortcode required.

Content

Track, Album and Show post types, with a Genre taxonomy
Bulk import: select several audio files at once (e.g. a whole album) to create matching draft tracks in one go, with tags read automatically (title, duration, track number, album, genre) — reviewed and confirmed before publishing
Track: duration, parent album, listening mode (preview, free full listen, or buyers only), audio file (MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A)
Album: release year, front/back cover, collapsible tracklist
Show: date, venue, address, image, external ticketing link, optional venue link, free-text price note

Player

SVG icons, clickable progress bar, volume, a real-time audio equalizer
Fully keyboard-accessible, with ARIA labels reflecting the real playback state
Automatic lightweight MP3 version generated from a FLAC/WAV master file where hosting allows it

Accessibility

Player: keyboard-operable progress bar and volume, ARIA labels reflecting the real playback state, visible keyboard focus
Visitor rating form: grouped/labeled star options, screen-reader-only labels, live status region on submission
Lyrics toggle: proper expanded/collapsed state exposed to assistive technology
Descriptive alt text on show posters and album covers; external links (tickets, venue, social) flagged as opening a new tab

Blocks

Six native Gutenberg blocks — Track List, Album, Shows, Next Show, Past Shows, Random Player — with six matching native Divi 5 modules and six matching native Elementor widgets, all sharing the same server-side rendering.

More

Visitor ratings (moderated) for tracks, albums and shows
Automatic schema.org structured data for search engines
Anonymous listening statistics — no IP address, cookie or identifier ever stored
Auto-generated press kit (PDF + zip) built from your band’s existing content
Settings export/import for deploying the same identity/style on a new site

Selling music?

VEFmusic itself never sells anything. VEFmusic Pro is a separate paid extension adding a cart, PayPal/Stripe payment, donations, internal ticketing with QR codes, merch, promo codes, preorders/crowdfunding, customer accounts and sales statistics.

External services

This plugin connects to a support service operated by V-IMAGES (v-images.com), the plugin’s publisher, only when you explicitly fill in and submit the “Support request” form (VEFmusic > Help > Support tab). It is never contacted automatically or in the background.

When you submit that form, the following is sent: your reply-to email address, the subject and message you typed, your site’s URL, the VEFmusic (and, if installed, VEFmusic Pro) version numbers, your WordPress version, your PHP version, and your active theme’s name and version. This lets the publisher reply to your request with the relevant technical context, without you having to copy it in by hand.

This service is provided by V-IMAGES (Eric Fabre): Terms of use, Privacy policy.

Blocks

This plugin provides 6 blocks.

VEFmusic — Lecteur aléatoire Joue en fond, dans un ordre aléatoire, les pistes en écoute libre intégrale — démarrage automatique, arrêt par le visiteur ou en quittant la page. Idéal pour une page galerie photos.
VEFmusic — Album Affiche un album complet : pochette, tracklist, bouton d'achat groupé.
VEFmusic — Concerts Affiche la liste des concerts à venir.
VEFmusic — Prochain concert Met en avant le prochain concert à venir, dans une présentation agrandie façon billet (mode vedette toujours actif, sans réglage à faire — équivalent du module Divi "Prochain concert"). Pour choisir soi-même le mode vedette au cas par cas, voir plutôt le bloc "Concerts".
VEFmusic — Concerts passés Archive des concerts déjà passés (mode archive toujours actif, sans réglage à faire — équivalent du module Divi "Concerts passés"), les plus récents en premier. Pour choisir ce mode au cas par cas sur une liste existante, voir plutôt le bloc "Concerts".
VEFmusic — Liste de pistes Affiche les pistes publiées avec lecteur et bouton d'achat.

Installation

Upload the vefmusic folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install it through the WordPress admin under Plugins > Add New.
Activate the plugin.
Go to VEFmusic > General to enter your band’s identity.
Add your tracks, albums and shows, then place the blocks on your pages.

FAQ

Does this plugin sell anything?: No. VEFmusic is a showcase plugin only. Selling tracks, albums, merch, tickets, or accepting donations requires the separate VEFmusic Pro extension.
Do I need Divi or Elementor?: No. VEFmusic works with the native WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) out of the box. Divi 5 and Elementor support is provided in addition, not required.
Where are my audio files stored?: Outside the media library, in a protected location never accessible by direct link — playback always goes through an access check based on the track’s listening mode.
Can I use this plugin for any band, or is it built for a specific one?: VEFmusic is fully generic: nothing is hard-coded, everything comes from your own settings and content.
