Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ListenUp

Yes, you'll need a Murf.ai account and API key to use this plugin. You can sign up at Murf.ai and get your API key from your dashboard.

Murf.ai offers various pricing plans. Check their website for current pricing information.

Yes, but you'll need separate API keys for each site or ensure your Murf.ai plan supports multiple domains.

The plugin generates WAV audio files, which provide high-quality audio output and are compatible with all modern browsers and devices. WAV format ensures maximum compatibility across all platforms and devices.

Yes, the plugin includes CSS classes that you can customize in your theme's stylesheet.

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 individual audio files. The frontend player seamlessly plays all chunks in sequence, and when users download the audio, all chunks are automatically concatenated into a single WAV file for maximum compatibility.

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.

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.
