Download

The music player for WordPress, in one zip for the Plugins screen.

Download Riff 6.6.0

Free software under the GPL, version 2 or later, like WordPress.

Riff 6.6.0 needs WordPress 7.2, which is in beta until 8 December 2026. On WordPress 7.0 or 7.1, get Riff 6.5.0, the last release for them.

WordPress
7.2 or newer
PHP
8.1 or newer
Theme
Any; the Listen page’s own template needs a block theme

Install it

  1. In your site's dashboard, go to Plugins, then Add New Plugin, then Upload Plugin.
  2. Choose the zip you downloaded and press Install Now.
  3. Press Activate Plugin. Every post with audio or video in it now plays through Riff.

New to WordPress? Add your music starts from the beginning and ends with an album on your site.

Update it

Riff is not on the WordPress.org plugin directory, so the Plugins screen will not offer updates on its own. To update, download the new zip and upload it the same way. WordPress notices the plugin is already installed and offers to replace the current version with the uploaded one. Your posts, files and settings are untouched.

Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen removes the little Riff stores and leaves your files, their tags and their images alone.

Every release

Each version is a tagged release on GitHub with its zip attached and its changes listed. See all releases, or read the changelog.
