Meet ProRadio Simple Chat 1.0
Say hello to the brand-new ProRadio Simple Chat plugin — a lightweight, integrated chat system that lets your audience interact directly on your website. No external tools, no complex setup: just instant conversations inside your station’s page. It’s perfect for engaging live shows, events, or listener requests during broadcasts.

Smarter charts and song control with SideKick 8.1
ProRadio Sidekick receives a major update focused on flexibility and data precision. The new chart generation system allows you to extract songs based on played dates — last week, month, or year — for quick trend analysis and automatic ranking updates. The extraction by show has been refined and now focuses on the most recent week, ensuring relevant and accurate results.
The new version also includes improved translations and optimized queries for faster and more reliable chart creation — all seamlessly integrated into Elementor widgets.
Player fixes and improved artwork
The ProRadio Music Player 8.2.1 fixes artwork loading issues and now retrieves album covers from iTunes more accurately, ensuring your “Now Playing” section always looks perfect. Cover display performance has also been improved for faster and smoother refreshes.
Elementor gets new creative options
ProRadio Elementor 8.1.3 adds several new features for design control and content presentation:
- New SideKick Song widgets for “Played last week”, “Played last month”, and “Played last year”.
- New Post Grid options with proportion control for balanced layouts.
- “Disable link” switch for posts — ideal when using grids as static content blocks.
️ Small details, smoother experience
ProRadio Core 8.1 introduces subtle admin styling improvements for a cleaner and more consistent backend environment, rounding off a release focused on precision and polish.
