Extra Chill Artist Platform #5 in Users & Membership

Link Pages runtime handoff

This compatibility build supports a rolling extraction to the standalone extrachill-link-pages plugin without declaring a hard Requires Plugins dependency. Deploy this Artist Platform compatibility build first, then install and activate the standalone plugin. During that activation request the standalone plugin must tolerate the already-loaded fallback symbols; on the next request Artist Platform sees the active configuration and fully defers. Artist Platform reads WordPress's site and network active plugin configuration for extrachill-link-pages/extrachill-link-pages.php; when configured, it defers the artist_link_page CPT and bundled generic owner/operation APIs to that plugin. The standalone plugin must expose those APIs by plugins_loaded priority 20, after which Artist Platform registers its artist adapters. Without the standalone plugin, the bundled runtime and current behavior remain active.

Artist profiles, link pages, and shop management for the Extra Chill network.

What It Does

Artist Platform gives musicians everything they need to build their presence:

• Link pages — Branded link-in-bio pages on extrachill.link
• Artist profiles — Rich profiles with socials, roster, and analytics
• Shop integration — Sell merch with Stripe Connect payouts
• Subscriber management — Collect and manage fan email lists

Artists join via extrachill.link/join, manage everything on artist.extrachill.com, and their link pages go live on extrachill.link.
