Patch notes

What changed in ShowHub, newest first. Each entry covers one Monday-to-Sunday week and is dated by its Monday.

Week of November 2, 2026

Nov 2 to Nov 8

New

Kick can now be connected as a source.
Themes handle creators who mostly stream. A live Twitch stream sorts first with a Live now tag, and a channel with nothing recorded gets an offline channel card.
Search & Ask on show sites: search every transcript as you type on Pro, and get a written answer with a link to the moment it came from on Business.
A Search & Ask embed for any website, also available as a WordPress block.
Pro and Business shows can upload their own audio and video files.
Setup now looks for the same creator on other platforms and lets you bring those accounts in at sign-up.
A ShowHub vs Podpage comparison page, plus a way to move over from Podpage and keep your old links working.
Light, dark and system themes on the site, docs and WordPress plugin admin.
Change your showhubco.com address from Publish: free on a show's first day, then two changes 30 days apart. Old addresses redirect to the new one.
Guides for adding DNS records at your provider, linked from the domain setup screens.

Improved

Starting one ShowHub player on a page pauses any others on that page.
Embeds show a loading placeholder that matches their look.
Episode rows nest an attached Watch or Listen episode under its pair, and an episode can be removed from sync so it doesn't come back.
Use case previews ask for just a username, can merge in your other platforms, and show real Twitch broadcasts and clips.
The homepage is shorter and points each kind of creator to the page for them, and its demo now covers Twitch and Kick and lets you pick what to merge.
New dark colors across the dashboard and docs.
WordPress plugin 1.0.7 adds Email Signup and Search & Ask theme embed blocks.
Blog contents lists show figure thumbnails.
