Liza Widget For Spotify and Elementor is the easiest way to embed Spotify content directly inside the Elementor Page Builder or the Gutenberg block editor. No shortcodes, no coding — just drag, drop, and connect your Spotify account.

Why Liza Spotify Widget?

  • Works instantly — authorize once via the settings page and use the widgets in Elementor or Gutenberg.
  • Elementor AND Gutenberg — every widget is also available as a native block with live preview, so Elementor is no longer required.
  • Podcast Episodes widget — show the latest episodes of any Spotify podcast, automatically kept up to date.
  • Real-time Spotify Profile widget — show your Spotify profile with live API data.
  • Beautiful by default — a fully redesigned widget look with a consistent design system, and full color/typography controls when you want to make it your own.
  • Clean, lightweight output — no build tools, no bloat, just fast responsive widgets your visitors will love.

External Services

This plugin connects to the following external services:

Spotify API

Used to fetch and display music, playlists, albums, artist information, and podcast episodes.

Freemius

Used for license management, plugin updates, and optional usage analytics.

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or install it directly from the WordPress plugin repository.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
  3. Navigate to Liza Spotify Settings and enter your Spotify API credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) obtained from the Spotify Developer Dashboard.
  4. Authorize your Spotify account.
  5. Add the widgets from the Elementor widget panel or the Gutenberg block inserter.
Do I need a Spotify account?

Yes. A free Spotify account is enough. A Spotify Developer app (free to create) is required so the plugin can fetch data like your profile and podcast episodes.

Is Elementor required?

No. Since version 4.1 every widget is also available as a native Gutenberg block. If Elementor is installed, the Elementor widgets are available as well.

How do I get Spotify API credentials?

Go to developer.spotify.com/dashboard, create a free app, and copy the Client ID and Client Secret into Liza Spotify Settings.

How does the Podcast Episodes widget work?

Paste a Spotify show URL or ID and the widget lists the newest episodes — with cover art, descriptions, release dates, and durations. Episode data is cached and refreshed automatically, so new episodes appear on your site without you touching anything.

Can I style the widgets to match my site?

Yes. Every widget ships with a polished default design and exposes accent, background, and text colors, border radius, padding, and typography controls in both Elementor and Gutenberg.

Is this plugin free?

The core plugin is free. Additional widgets are available via an optional upgrade.

Where can I get support?

Post in the plugin support forum on WordPress.org.

Works Perfectly

By matthiasdenutte on August 26, 2025

I recently tried out Liza Spotify plugin and honestly, I was impressed by how smooth it feels to use. The setup was straightforward, and it integrated into my workflow without any hiccups. What stood out to me the most is how clean the interface is — it doesn’t feel clunky or overcomplicated like some other plugins I’ve tested.

didn't work for me

By garrettporterart on June 11, 2025

This plugin didn't even finish installing and it caused my whole site to crash and say "CRITICAL ERROR"! 🙁

Does not work

By YaraE on February 12, 2024

The plugin does not work. When embedding the Spotify code, there is a message that open.spotify.com is refusing the connection.

Great tool for my websites and clients

Great tool for my websites and clients

Really helpful, thank you

By GoHero on August 29, 2022

Excellent stuff – works like a charm. Would be cool if you could disable the "listen to the full playlist on Spotify" bit, which appears way too soon, but that's just cosmetics. Really like it, thank you.
