Now Playing Widget

MetaRadio provides a in-built ‘Now Playing Widget’ which can be embedded via Theme Widgets or Shortcodes. There are options to customize colours and text. This is an example of what it can look like:

TOP FM – There is nothing currently playing (Customise this with your own text)

ANT FM – There is nothing currently playing (Customise this with your own text)

Now Playing (via Shortcodes)

You can style this section however you like – the data is provided via simple shortcodes. You can have your developer customise how this looks.

Helper Classes

Anything with this class will be hidden when there’s no song currently playing.
```
metaradio-hide-now-empty
```
Anything with this class will be hidden when there were no songs recently played.
```
metaradio-hide-recent-empty
```
Anything with this class will be shown when there is no song currently playing.
```
metaradio-show-now-empty
```
Anything with this class will be shown when there are no recently played songs.
```
metaradio-show-recent-empty
```
Add this class to a hyperlink to make it open the player in a new window (data attribute not needed for this class)
```
metaradio_openplayer_<stationid>
```
Add this class to a hyperlink to make it open the player in a new popup window (data attribute not needed for this class)
