Description

Background Music Manager allows you to add background music to your WordPress site. The music will play only after user interaction due to modern browser restrictions. You can enable or disable music site-wide or only on the home page, set playback time, loop the track continuously, adjust volume, and upload your own music track.

Features

  • Enable/Disable Music: Control the background music across your entire site.
  • Home Page Only: Option to play music exclusively on the home page.
  • Playback Time: Set the duration (in seconds) for how long the music plays.
  • Continuous Playback: Loop the music track continuously.
  • Volume Control: Adjust the playback volume from 0.0 (mute) to 1.0 (full volume).
  • Upload Music Track: Easily upload your own audio file to be played in the background.
  • Admin Notice: Inform administrators about browser restrictions on autoplaying audio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn’t the music play automatically?

Modern browsers restrict autoplaying audio to improve user experience. The music will play only after the user interacts with the site, such as clicking or pressing a key.

What audio formats are supported?

Ensure that your uploaded audio file is in a supported format like MP3, WAV, or OGG.

Can I disable the music for certain users?

Currently, the plugin allows enabling or disabling music site-wide or on the home page. For more granular control, additional customization is required.
