Description
WP Electronic Press Kit gives you a single place to manage every component a venue or promoter needs to say "yes" in under 30 seconds:
- Three bio lengths — elevator pitch, medium, and full — with character counters.
- Photo gallery — drag photos from the WordPress media library; landscape and portrait shots side-by-side.
- Audio & video links — Spotify, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, YouTube, Vimeo. The first link auto-embeds.
- Press clippings — pull-quotes plus links to reviews, interviews, and features.
- Notable past shows — tabular list of dates, venues, cities, and billing.
- Social metrics — show off the impressive numbers, hide the rest.
- Tech rider & stage plot — upload a stage plot image, attach a tech rider PDF, and build a channel-ordered input list.
- Contact card — booking agent, role, email, phone.
- Social media links — predefined platforms for consistent display.
Display Options
Press kits show up as their own custom post type (/epk/your-band/), embeddable via the [epk] shortcode, or via the Press Kit Gutenberg block. Themes can override the single template by providing single-epk_artist.php.
Shortcode
[epk] — uses the current post if it is an EPK.
[epk id="123"] — render a specific kit.
[epk slug="my-band"] — render by slug.
[epk sections="bio,photos,contact"] — limit to specific sections.
Available section keys: bio, photos, audio, video, press, shows, metrics, tech, contact, social.
Installation
- Upload the
wp-epkfolder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Go to Press Kits → Add New and start filling out your sections.
- Optionally create a "Press" page with the
[epk id="..."]shortcode for a friendlier URL.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I host more than one artist?
Yes — each press kit is its own post.
Can I keep a press kit private?
Set the post status to Private or Password Protected in the publish box, or change the rewrite slug via the wp_epk_rewrite_slug filter.
How do I theme this?
Two ways: drop a single-epk_artist.php into your theme, or copy templates/single-epk.php from this plugin into your theme.
