WordPress Podcast Theme FAQ
The questions we hear most before people buy. Still unsure? Our support team is happy to help.
Is the podcast WordPress theme available to buy yet?
Not yet. The theme is in development and expected in late 2026. Tap Notify me when it's live, enter your email and we will send one email the day it goes on sale. Signing up is free and does not commit you to buying.
Who is this podcast WordPress theme built for?
It is built for people running an audio platform, not a single show. Podcast networks, independent record labels and publishers of audiobooks, meditations or course audio are the main fit. Each creator gets their own page, catalogue and earnings on a site you own.
Does it work as a music WordPress theme too?
Yes. Podcasts are organised into shows, seasons and episodes, and music into artists, albums and tracks. Both play through the same sticky player, go into the same playlists and can be free, premium or sold individually, so a label and a podcast network can share one site.
Can I get my shows into the podcast apps?
Yes. Every show gets its own RSS feed, built automatically from the episodes you publish, which you can submit to the podcast apps listeners already use. Approval is up to each directory. Premium episodes stay on your site only.
How do I make money from an audio streaming website?
Combine several revenue streams: monthly subscriptions for premium episodes, one-off sales of albums, audiobooks and bonus episodes, and tips on show pages. If you host other creators, take a share of their earnings or charge them a creator plan to publish. We take no platform commission.
Do you take a cut of my subscriptions, sales or tips?
No. You pay $99 once for the theme and keep what your site earns. Payments go to your own payment account, and any split with your creators is a rule you set in the admin, not a fee we charge.
Will the player keep playing when a listener changes page?
Yes, that is a core design goal. The player sits at the bottom of the screen and keeps playing as listeners move between show pages, artist pages and search. Returning listeners resume where they stopped.
Can creators upload their own episodes and see their stats?
Yes. Each creator gets a dashboard to upload episodes or tracks, add artwork, chapters and transcripts, and schedule releases. It also shows plays, followers and earnings. You decide whether new uploads publish straight away or wait for your approval.
Do I need extra audio or membership plugins?
The aim is no. The player, catalogue, playlists, premium access, tips, downloads, RSS feeds and creator dashboards are part of the theme. You still need normal WordPress hosting with enough storage for your audio.
What do I get with the $99 purchase?
A one-time licence with 6 months of support and updates, unlimited installs on sites you own, free install and setup plus video tutorials, and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Pages are Elementor-ready for the free version of Elementor. PremiumPress is rated 4.6 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
