Install the WordPress plugin which adds an admin interface for setting up the player, by searching for **stratus** in _Plugins > Add New_ within your WordPress admin interface. 2. Once installed, go activate the plugin on the **Plugins** page in your WordPress admin interface. 3. When activated, click **Settings** on the Stratus plugin listing on the **Plugins** page and define your settings. From here, you should provide a `JSON` formatting string of options as described in the [customization](http://stratus.sc/#customization) instructions using the provided [options](http://stratus.sc/#options). ## FAQ Can I keep Stratus playing even when the page reloads? Not currently. Your site would need to be built so that it doesn’t reload rather than the player. _However_, we do provide a popup function that users can click to enjoy your tunes while browsing your site. How can I make YouTube videos appear below Stratus? The trick is adding `?wmode=transparent` to each of your YouTube videos. That will force the YouTube embed to appear below Stratus _as it should_. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0a515ce4de1fc04106c66402db494bf8f479944261124bb3e8aa748dac85a29e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-3650/)󠁿 [oGuitarrista](https://profiles.wordpress.org/oguitarrista/) February 7, 2017 Excellent plugin.
