About VEFmusic
From the official readme · v2.15.47Description
VEFmusic is a free plugin for a band’s website: an audio player with tracks and albums, a show calendar, an auto-generated press kit for media and journalists, visitor ratings, and automatic SEO structured data — all through native blocks, no shortcode required.
Press kit generator (EPK) — built in, free
Generate a professional PDF press kit in one click, built directly from your existing tracks, albums, shows and band bio — no separate document to write and keep up to date by hand.
- Auto-built from your published content: biography, links & social media, albums with covers, upcoming shows
- Add as many custom text sections as you need, each with its own title — rich text (bold, italic, lists, clickable links)
- Choose the order sections appear in, to match how you want to present your band
- Multi-page PDF with fully automatic pagination — a long biography or a long custom section is never cut off
- Optional downloadable zip: PDF + album covers + selected audio previews + extra photos
- Optional contact form gate (off by default), with a log of received requests in the admin
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
- Random Player block: an in-admin warning flags that autoplaying sound can be an obstacle for visually impaired visitors relying on a screen reader — weigh this before using it on your site
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
- Settings export/import for deploying the same identity/style on a new site
Selling music? VEFmusic Pro
VEFmusic itself never sells anything — it stays a pure showcase plugin, forever free. VEFmusic Pro is a separate paid extension (installed in addition to VEFmusic, which it requires) adding a full sales and ticketing layer:
- Sell individual tracks and albums, with secure time-limited download links
- Accept donations
- Merch store — your own products, or print-on-demand via Printful with no separate store plugin
- Internal ticketing with QR-code entry, in addition to the free external ticketing link
- Promo codes
- Preorders / crowdfunding campaigns, with optional funding tiers
- Customer accounts — no WordPress account required, secure passwordless access by email link
- Revenue split tracking between band members
- Sales statistics and accounting export (CSV)
- PayPal and Stripe payment
- Admin-managed refunds, including legally compliant withdrawal/right-of-return handling
Every Pro feature reuses your existing VEFmusic content (tracks, albums, shows) — nothing to set up twice.
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 & feature requests” form (VEFmusic > Help > Support & feature requests 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.
The plugin also connects to the same V-IMAGES service for the optional free license (VEFmusic > About), and only if you ask for it: nothing is sent until you fill in the form and tick the consent box. The free license unlocks nothing — the plugin works exactly the same without it; it only lets the publisher send you news and offers, and identify your site when you ask for support.
When you register, the following is sent: the email address you typed, the exact consent text you agreed to, your site’s URL, the VEFmusic version and your site’s language. While you are registered, each time you open the About or General screen the plugin checks the registration status (on each of those screens until you confirm by email, then once a week), sending your license key, your site’s URL and the VEFmusic version. When you unregister, the plugin asks the service to delete your data. Your free license key is also added to support requests you send.
This service is provided by V-IMAGES (Eric Fabre): Terms of use, Privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Changelog
Fixes a press kit bug where a 2-column paragraph could look cut off if both columns overflowed onto a new page — they now correctly share the same page.
2.15.47
- Changed: on small screens, the playlist toolbar keeps play/pause and volume on one line (the Shuffle button wraps below when needed), instead of stacking everything vertically.
- Removed: an unused small-screen rule for show cards with a poster (those cards already switch to a single column below 780px).
2.15.46
- Changed: the Shuffle button of the Track List block now looks like the other player buttons (filled with the accent color). When shuffle is on, a ring is shown around it.
- Fixed: Random Player — the “volume” and “mute” speaker icons could both show at once with some themes; only one is shown now.
2.15.45
- Changed: the volume controls (per track and in the playlist toolbar) are never wider than 300px.
2.15.44
- Fixed: Elementor — the Past Shows and Next Show widgets now pick up the settings of VEFmusic > Style > Shows (colors, border, spacing, title and venue sizes), like the Gutenberg blocks and Divi 5 modules. The Next Show widget still uses its own tab first.
2.15.43
- Changed: block titles (Album, Shows, Next Show, Past Shows) now use the theme’s heading size and weight by default. A title size set in VEFmusic > Style still overrides it. Show titles may therefore look smaller than before on some themes: set a size in VEFmusic > Style to get the previous look back.
- Fixed: with no size set, the album title took the surrounding text size instead of the theme’s heading size.
2.15.42
- Changed: in track lists and albums, the per-track volume control now sits under the track title and comment, with a slider that uses the available width; the duration is shown right after the title and its badges.
- Changed: on small screens, the playlist toolbar and the Random Player stack their controls vertically.
- Changed: track titles are vertically centered with their badges.
