WPMediaVerse Pro

Requires WPMediaVerse Pro - This feature is available exclusively in the Pro version.

WPMediaVerse Pro extends the free plugin with advanced layout modes, cloud storage, video analytics, chapters and auto-captions, AI providers, quota management, and granular privacy controls.

Pro does not transcode video. The FFmpeg pipeline was removed in 2.4.0 - MediaVerse embeds media, it does not process it. The player uses the original file.

Requirements

• WPMediaVerse (free) 2.0.0 or higher installed and activated (Pro halts with an admin notice on older Free)
• WordPress 6.5+
• PHP 7.4+
• MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.4+

Installation

1. Install and activate the free WPMediaVerse plugin first.
2. Go to Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin.
3. Upload the wpmediaverse-pro.zip file and click Install Now.
4. Click Activate Plugin.
5. Go to Media > License and enter your license key.
6. Click Activate License.

All Pro features run as soon as the plugin is activated. The license key unlocks automatic updates; it is not a feature switch.

There is exactly one exception: Documents writes. On a site whose licence has lapsed, existing documents stay readable, downloadable and previewable, but uploading, replacing, moving, sharing and folder changes are refused until the licence is active again. Nothing is migrated, converted or lost. See Documents. Every other Pro capability works regardless of license state.

Updating Pro

When an update is available, WordPress shows it in the standard Plugins screen. The updater requires a valid active license. If your license has expired, your installed Pro features keep working - only automatic updates are paused. Download the latest ZIP from your account at wbcomdesigns.com and upload it manually.

1.2.0: All Pro features now Gutenberg blocks

Every Pro feature now ships as a first-class Gutenberg block - drop-in, configurable in the editor, no shortcodes-as-the-only-option. Each block has a matching [mvs_pro_*] shortcode for classic editor and template-tag use.

Block	Handle	Notes
Tournament	mvs/pro-tournament	Configurable tournamentId attribute.
Tournaments List	mvs/pro-tournaments-list	Lists active tournaments.
Challenge	mvs/pro-challenge	Configurable challengeId attribute.
Challenges List	mvs/pro-challenges-list	Lists active and upcoming challenges.
Battle	mvs/pro-battle	Configurable battleId attribute.
Battles Active	mvs/pro-battles-active	Currently running battles.
Instagram Feed	mvs/pro-instagram-feed	Instagram-style square grid layout.
Flickr Feed	mvs/pro-flickr-feed	Flickr-style justified rows layout.
Pinterest Feed	mvs/pro-pinterest-feed	Pinterest-style masonry layout.
Dribbble Feed	mvs/pro-dribbble-feed	Dribbble-style card grid layout.
Leaderboard	mvs/pro-leaderboard	Top performers across competitions.
Compete Hub	mvs/pro-compete-hub	Combined challenges + battles + tournaments dashboard.
Stories	mvs/pro-stories	24-hour ephemeral stories bar + fullscreen viewer, with a same-screen "Your story" upload tile. Added in 1.9.0.

Layout flexibility: because each layout (Instagram, Flickr, Pinterest, Dribbble) is its own block, admins can mix layouts on different pages - e.g. a Pinterest feed on the home page and an Instagram feed on a member directory - instead of being locked to one site-wide layout setting.

MigrationPage admin restructure

The migration tool admin page is now a generic shell that hosts per-platform cards (rtMedia, MediaPress, BuddyBoss). Two pre-existing detection bugs were fixed in the same pass: the Imported count was always 0 regardless of actual progress, and the MediaPress dedup query was running against an undefined $wpdb. Migrations now report accurate counts and skip already-imported items correctly.

User Reports (Pro Moderation)

Pro adds a Reports view that surfaces user-submitted abuse reports on media and members - the complaints your community files, as opposed to the free Moderation Queue, which is about AI/auto-flagged content awaiting an approve/reject decision.

• Where: MediaVerse > Moderation, in the User Reports tab. (It is also reachable directly at admin.php?page=mvs-reports.)
• Who: any user with the moderate_mvs_media capability.
• What it lists: every report row - date, reporter, target type (media or user), the target, the reason code, and a details excerpt. A status filter switches between Pending, Resolved, and Dismissed, each with a live count.
• Actions: on a pending report you can Resolve (mark handled) or Dismiss (no action needed). Both are nonce-protected and capability-checked.

Note for the parent agent: this section documents the Pro Reports admin page inline. If the docs site wants it discoverable on its own, it could later be split into a dedicated pro-features/reports.md page - the content above is self-contained and ready to lift out.
