WP AzuraCast Radio Status is the easiest way to display live, real-time radio server statistics anywhere on your WordPress site — with a beautiful, modern “status cards” layout that looks great on desktop and mobile.

Whether you run a single AzuraCast station, multiple Icecast/Shoutcast streams, or you simply want to add professional “server health” widgets to your radio website, this plugin turns boring technical data into clean, high-impact cards your visitors instantly understand.

Why This Plugin Exists

If you operate a radio stream, you already know the pain:

• Visitors ask “Is the stream online?”
• You want to show bitrate to prove quality.
• You want to show current listeners to build social proof.
• You want peak listeners to highlight growth.
• You want a proper “Now Playing” display (and not generic text like “music”).
• You want the maximum allowed listeners (the limit you configured inside AzuraCast).
• And you want all of this to look great on every device — without writing code.

WP AzuraCast Radio Status was built exactly for that.

What You Can Display (6 Beautiful Responsive Cards)

The plugin can show any (or all) of the following cards, exactly like the style you showed in your screenshot:

1. Server Status
   Shows ONLINE/OFFLINE clearly, so visitors instantly know if your stream is available.
2. Bitrate
   Displays the current stream bitrate (e.g. 128 kbps, 192 kbps) — perfect for showcasing audio quality.
3. Max Allowed Listeners
   Fetches the configured station listener limit from AzuraCast (Admin API) so you can display the real maximum capacity (e.g. 100, 300, etc.).
   Includes a safe fallback value if you want to show a limit even when the API is unavailable.
4. Now Playing
   Displays the current track title using AzuraCast Now Playing for accurate results.
   (Optional switch in settings: enable it only if you want it.)
5. Peak Listeners
   Shows the maximum number of listeners recorded within the Icecast stats window — perfect as a “record” indicator.
6. Current Listeners
   Shows how many listeners are connected right now — a strong form of social proof.

Choose Exactly What You Want to Show

Not every site needs all six stats.

That’s why WP AzuraCast Radio Status includes visibility checkboxes so you can enable/disable each card individually with one click:

• Show only ONLINE/OFFLINE + Now Playing
• Or show all stats for a full monitoring dashboard
• Or show only listener stats to build credibility

You have full control.

Works With Icecast and Shoutcast

The plugin supports two popular streaming setups:

✅ Icecast

• Server hostname
• Port
• Mount point (e.g. /radio.mp3)

✅ Shoutcast

• Server hostname
• Port
• Shoutcast stats path (defaults to /7.html)

This makes the plugin ideal if you have different stations using different streaming types.

Built for AzuraCast (Optional Enhanced Mode)

If your station runs on AzuraCast, WP AzuraCast Radio Status becomes even more powerful.

AzuraCast Now Playing (Optional)

Enable it to fetch accurate Now Playing data from AzuraCast’s API (ideal when Icecast metadata shows generic placeholders like “music”).

AzuraCast Maximum Listeners (Admin API)

Enable it to fetch the Maximum Listeners value you configured inside AzuraCast (Broadcasting → Advanced Configuration → Maximum Listeners).

This is the only reliable way to display this exact setting on the frontend, because it’s an admin-level station configuration — and this plugin supports it properly.

Display Anywhere With a Shortcode

Add the cards anywhere on your site using the shortcode:

Use it in:

• Pages
• Posts
• Elementor shortcodes widget
• Sidebars
• Shortcode blocks
• Footer templates
• Any builder that supports shortcodes

Layout Options: Horizontal or Vertical

You can choose how the cards appear:

• Horizontal Grid Layout (like your screenshot)
• Vertical Stacked Layout (perfect for sidebars, mobile-first pages, or narrow sections)

And of course, it remains fully responsive either way.

Design Controls: Match Your Website Perfectly

WP AzuraCast Radio Status includes built-in styling controls so you don’t need custom CSS.

Customize:

• Title font size
• Value font size
• Font family (per field!)
• Title color
• Value color (per field!)
• Icon color (icons follow title color by default)
• Background color
• Border color
• Border radius

It includes WordPress color pickers so it feels native and easy.

And it ships with defaults matching the elegant style shown in your screenshot — so you can install and use it instantly without tweaking anything.

Smart Performance and Stability

This plugin was built with reliability in mind:

• Uses short, safe timeouts on remote calls
• Handles stream offline states cleanly
• Uses fallbacks when APIs are not accessible
• Sanitizes outputs (safe to display)
• Works without heavy scripts or bloated frameworks

Lightweight, fast, and made for real-world radio sites.
