A Ripple Song Podcast Theme

A Ripple Song is a modern, all-in-one podcasting solution for WordPress. It separates design and functionality into a modular architecture:

  • Theme (a-ripple-song): Handles the visual presentation, player interface, and frontend experience.
  • Plugin (a-ripple-song-podcast): Manages the data structure (Episodes, RSS Feeds) and core logic.

This design ensures that your podcast data remains safe even if you switch themes in the future.

Key Features​

  • Professional Podcast Management: Dedicated "Episode" post type with support for seasons, numbers, and guests.
  • Immersive Audio Player: Persistent playback across page navigation (SPA feel) with waveform visualization.
  • Modern Tech Stack: Built with TailwindCSS v4, Alpine.js, and Vite for blazing fast performance.
  • Standards Compliant: Full support for Podcasting 2.0 namespace and iTunes metadata.
  • Internationalization: Built-in multi-language support (English, Chinese, and more).

How It Works​

  1. Install: Set up the plugin and theme on your WordPress site.
  2. Configure: Set your podcast details (Cover Art, Description, RSS settings).
  3. Publish: Create new Episodes just like writing blog posts.
  4. Distribute: Use the generated RSS feed to submit your show to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.
