About Labelfront
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
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
- Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin, search for “Labelfront”, click Install Now and Activate. (Or upload the zip under Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin.)

Frequently asked questions
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.
A page is white with my theme’s sidebar
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.
