常见问题:
Can I use this on multiple sites?
Yes, but you'll need separate API keys for each site or ensure your Murf.ai plan supports multiple domains.
What audio formats are supported?
The plugin supports MP3, WAV, FLAC, ALAW, ULAW, PCM, and OGG output from Murf.ai. MP3 is the default because it works well across browsers and supports chunked audio downloads without requiring FFmpeg.
Can I customize the audio player appearance?
Yes, the plugin includes CSS classes that you can customize in your theme's stylesheet.
What happens with very long posts?
For posts that exceed Murf.ai's API character limits, the plugin automatically breaks the content into smaller chunks. Each chunk is processed separately and saved as an individual audio file. The frontend player seamlessly plays all chunks in sequence, and supported formats can be downloaded as a concatenated file.
How does the leech protection work?
ListenUp serves all audio files through a secure PHP proxy instead of allowing direct file access. Each audio URL includes a WordPress nonce for authentication, preventing unauthorized access and hotlinking. The system supports HTTP range requests for smooth audio seeking and includes proper caching headers for performance. This protection works automatically without requiring any server configuration.
Can I block direct access to audio files at the server level?
Yes! For additional security, you can configure your web server to block direct access to the audio directory. Here are example configurations:
For Apache (.htaccess):
Add this to /wp-content/uploads/listenup-audio/.htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
</IfModule>
For Nginx:
Add this to your server block configuration:
location ~* ^/wp-content/uploads/listenup-audio/ {
return 403;
}
After implementing server-level blocks, audio will still play normally through the WordPress player because the plugin reads files directly from the filesystem, bypassing the web server's URL routing entirely.
