Ran the official Plugin Check (PCP) against v0.6.3 — surfaced 169
issues. This release closes all of them so the plugin is submission-
ready for the WordPress.org plugin directory.
Branding
- Plugin Name renamed: "Radio" → "RangerHQ Radio". Removes the
trademarked "SomaFM" from the plugin name surface (PCP
trademarked_term). Lines up with the RangerHQ plugin family.
SomaFM credited in Description + About as the data source.
Folder/slug stays `a-radio` — no install path changes; existing
user_meta keys (radio_state / radio_history / radio_favourites)
untouched.
- Text Domain header renamed: `radio` → `a-radio` (matches slug).
- Requires at least bumped: 5.0 → 5.3 (matches wp_date() usage).
- File docstring header dropped "SomaFM" from prominent line.
Code (mass-mechanical)
- 134 i18n call sites rewritten from `'radio'` text domain to
`'a-radio'` across 7 PHP files. Single sed pass on the unique
pattern `, 'radio' )` — the 6 menu-slug `'radio'` references in
add_*_page() were correctly left alone (those are URL slugs).
Security
- 8 × MissingUnslash + 8 × InputNotSanitized in the v0.5.0 history
endpoints (radio_ajax_log_track, radio_ajax_toggle_favourite).
All four $_POST['artist|title|station|station_id'] access points
are now wrapped sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( $_POST['…'] ) )
(or sanitize_key for station_id) at the access point.
Translator comments
- 6 × printf / sprintf calls with placeholders now carry
/* translators: ... */ comments.
Pop-out window refactor
- Inline <link> stylesheets, <style> block, and <script> tag in
radio_render_popout_page() replaced with wp_enqueue_style() +
wp_enqueue_script() + wp_localize_script() registered before HTML
output, then wp_print_styles() in <head> and wp_print_footer_
scripts() at end of <body>.
- Popup-specific CSS moved out of inline <style> and into radio.css
under body.radio-popout scope so it only fires inside the popup.
Removed
- .DS_Store files (root + assets/). PCP hidden_files.
Distribution
- New readme.txt in proper WordPress.org format: Plugin headers,
Contributors, Donate link, Tags, Requires-at-least, Tested-up-to,
Stable Tag, Requires-PHP, License, Description, Installation,
FAQ, Screenshots, Changelog, Upgrade Notice.
Compat
- No behaviour change for users; user_meta preserved.
- Displayed Plugin Name in Plugins → Installed changes from "Radio"
to "RangerHQ Radio" — only visible difference on update.

Small grey pill follows the "Radio — Settings" H1 — v{RADIO_VERSION}.
Visible at a glance so you don't have to hover the plugin row in
Plugins → Installed or open About just to check what version you're on.
Dark-theme variant so it stays readable when theme=dark.
Files: radio.php (version), inc/settings.php (<span> inside H1),
assets/css/radio.css (.radio-version-badge + dark override),
inc/about.php (rotate v0.6.2 into latest expanded slot, v0.6.1 into
earlier-releases list), CHANGELOG.md.

Closes the gaps from a UI review of v0.2.0.
Added
- Mute toggle: speaker icon is now a button; remembers prior volume.
- MediaSession API: OS media keys / headphone buttons / lock-screen
widget play/pause the radio. Metadata exposes station + SomaFM + genre.
- Current-track display: polls https://somafm.com/songs/{code}.json every
30s while playing; shown as `♪ Title — Artist` under the description.
Best-effort — silently hidden if CORS-blocked / unreachable.
Fixed (2nd-look)
- Dark theme now actually renders. v0.2.0 saved the dropdown but had no
CSS — add `admin_body_class` filter + `radio-theme-{auto,light,dark}`
CSS for the player + about-cards. `auto` follows OS prefers-color-scheme.
- Settings-page volume slider: removed inline `oninput`; wired in radio.js
via `bindSettingsSlider()`. Cleaner under strict CSP.
- Save errors surface as a transient notice instead of being swallowed.
- Gitea changelog URL moved into `RADIO_GITEA_URL` constant.
- Genre badge restyled as an inline pill (was using `margin-left: auto`
which wrapped poorly on narrow widget widths).
Files
- radio.php (version, constant, strings, body-class filter)
- inc/about.php (use constant, add 0.3.0 history entry)
- inc/settings.php (drop inline oninput)
- inc/admin-page.php + inc/dashboard-widget.php (mute button, track slot)
- assets/css/radio.css (pill, mute, track, dark-theme rules)
- assets/js/radio.js (rewrite: mute, MediaSession, track polling,
settings slider, save-error surfacing)

First release of a-radio — a free, focused SomaFM player for the
WordPress admin. Extracted-and-rebuilt from RangerPlex's RadioPlayer
component, simplified along the way (no Node CORS proxy needed; the
browser plays SomaFM streams directly).
Phase A deliverables — all in this commit:
PLAYER SURFACES
- Dashboard widget on WP Admin → Dashboard (compact: play/pause +
station select + volume).
- Dedicated admin page at WP Admin → Radio → My Radio (larger
layout, station genre badge, volume %% display).
- Both surfaces share the same JS — picking a station on one mirrors
to the other within the same admin session.
STATIONS
- 44 SomaFM stations grouped by 10 genres (Ambient / Electronic /
Lounge / Rock / Metal / Jazz / World / Reggae / Holiday / Specials).
- Ported verbatim from RangerPlex's RadioPlayer.tsx.
- Default station: Groove Salad (most popular SomaFM channel, safe
ambient/coding pick).
STATE
- Per-user state stored in user_meta under key `radio_state`:
{ station_id, volume, theme, last_played_at }.
- Settings page lets the user pick default station, default volume,
theme (auto/light/dark), and hide the dashboard widget.
- AJAX endpoint `radio_save_state` persists changes without a page
reload. Nonce-protected, capability-checked, only known keys
accepted, station validated against the list, volume clamped to
[0,1].
UPDATES
- Self-hosted updater wired to Gitea (ranger/a-radio) from commit 1.
- Direct port of Buddy's inc/updater.php with BUDDY_* → RADIO_* and
buddy_* → radio_* renames. Same 12h-success / 1h-error caching.
ARCHITECTURE
- No `wp` prefix (trademark policy).
- GPL v2+ public Gitea repo from day one.
- Vanilla JS only — no React, no webpack, no minified-only files.
- CSS-only animations, all assets local.
- Single H1 per admin page.
- Direct HTML5 <audio> playback (SomaFM has CORS headers; no PHP
audio proxy needed). This is the key simplification vs RangerPlex.
COMPLIANCE
- "Powered by SomaFM" credit displayed on both player surfaces with
link to somafm.com. About page invites users to donate to SomaFM
directly.
PHASE PROGRESSION (not in this commit)
- Phase B — Settings polish + retry on transient stream errors +
README.md formatted for WP.org submission.
- Phase C — Now-playing metadata via SomaFM's per-station song
history endpoint (this is where the RangerPlex proxy logic ports
to — server-side, for metadata not audio).
- Phase D — [ranger_radio] shortcode for frontend embedding.
- Phase E — Favorites system.
- Phase F — Multi-provider (Radio Paradise / NTS / KEXP / BBC).
