Hello, good morning friends. I have read the user documentation for the Web Interface and it mentions that it is possible to design custom web pages to control QLC + functionalities through the web API. Sure, with their respective limitations.

I have ever designed web pages with the help of Wordpress. Question, is it possible to design a custom web page in wordpress to control QLC + functionalities via web API?

Additional note, although not very relevant: I have QLC + installed on a Debian computer.

Thank you, greetings to all, good day.

If you run qlcplus with "-w" argument you can access the virutal console using web browser on port 9999.
You can read more about it in documentation.

You can create a static HTML page with aprioriate javascript that will talk to your QLC+ instance, so yes, you can do it in wordpress, but that doesn't really change the process.

To use the web API you basically need to write custom javascript code to connect to QLC's websocket server and pass through messages, there is a test page available.

I appreciate your answer friend, I will then try to make a web page in wordpress adding the QLC + web API with the help of JS, to create a custom web page that controls QLC + remotely. I have hosting available and I can buy a domain just for this project, I even plan to do it with a wordpress theme.

Thank you, greetings, good day ...
