Performance Boost for Elementor Pages

The Pro Radio Elementor Widgets plugin, along with several dependencies, underwent an extensive code review to align with modern PHP standards and versions. The result is a leaner, more efficient codebase that generates pages up to 20–30% faster, depending on your site’s structure. Full compatibility with PHP 8.4 eliminates deprecation warnings and CPU/memory overhead, delivering a significant overall performance boost.

Elementor Widget Upgrades

Key widgets—Post Grids, Lists, Hero, Podcast Grids, and more—have been optimized. Improved query logic now handles complex pagination and filters without issues, ensuring smooth navigation and reliable content display on your Elementor pages.

New Social Icons

We’ve added Slack to the Customizer’s social icon set, responding to customer demand as this chat app becomes a social hub. At the same time, we replaced the old Facebook icon with a modern, background-free design for a cleaner, more contemporary header look.

Podcast Improvements

The Pro Radio Music Player and built-in podcast features received major enhancements. They now support M4A and AAC formats seamlessly, and we’ve fixed a design issue that caused duplicate players when importing podcasts—ensuring a flawless playback experience.

Import your podcasts from any XML source

Remember that if you want to import podcasts from an external XML RSS feed, Pro Radio comes with a free tool which allows to import episodes as playable podcast contents, and link them to your radio shows. And for a professional result, as importing unlimited podcasts sources unlimited times a day, you can rely on Podybot, our Premium podcast importer plugin, already used by hundred of radio stations!
