Sorry for the late response.

This is a server issue not allowing allow_url_fopen. If you have control of the server you can change the php.ini setting to allow this. But if you are on a shared hosting server, things are not so simple.

I have bumped this to top priority, it will be fixed in the new version. It is wrong for the plugin to depend on this server setting. This code was supposed to have been changed but I never did get to it.

Thanks for your feedback.

Sorry this is not possible at the moment.

Hi, no this is not the right plugin for this.

The data comes ‘ready’ from the TMDB database, it’s not manually added.

Hi, if I understand correctly, you probably want to set the Advanced Settings->Enable "Movies" section? to one of the two No, use Posts.. options.

This will make your movies section the default wordpress posts. And so each post will now have the plugin movie search available in the backend editor.

You then have to go into each post’s backend editor and search for the movie you want to display, the plugin does not do this automatically.

That looks really strange.

I tried it with your language and PHP 7.4 and can’t reproduce. I even tried with your theme.

If you can, share any other info that would be helpful to debug / reproduce.

Removing and reinstalling the plugin may be worth a try.

Did you solve your problem? I’m assuming it was a template issue.

Hi,

I worked on a solution this but did not have time to finish testing it and some other minor things/decisions.

I did not want to delay the new plugin update release any longer so it will have to wait for another release. By the way, in this last release a French translation of the plugin was?added.

If you want to have/test the beta/WIP version email me.

Thanks

PS: J`aime bien votre site!

This plugin does not work that way, please read the documentation.

The inspiration and original site this plugin was made for was a movie review site and so this feature was created to accommodate that site format.

To be honest, I always thought of this feature as a ‘legacy’ one, a feature that some part of me would like to remove altogether. So extending this to tvshows is really not in the plans, this would be somewhat painful for me.

But since we are on this topic: You would like to have the option for tvshows to take the place of movies as ‘regular posts’ or to be able to have both (as ‘regular posts’) at the same time?

Thanks for your feedback.

Sorry the plugin does not handle any linking between posts.

You could look into default WordPress functionality to try and accomplish something similar, by using tag or categories for example, to create something of a ‘related posts’.

Sorry this plugin does not (yet) support listing the episodes of a season.

This is the expected behavior. You have not supplied a resource id and it uses the default on, which is 655 (Paris, Texas for movies, Star Trek TNG for Tvshows).

Documentation: https://mymoviedatabase.cinema.ttic.ca/how-to-use-the-mmdb-plugin/

Primary shortcode parameters:
1-) Ressource Id (id)
…
“If you don’t specify an id the id of 655 will be used.”

This was supposed to be the next ‘feature’, I have already started a version of this a while now. It got sidetracked with the translation issues to fix. In any case, this needs to be done first and foremost to lighten the load of the very nice folks at TMDB who make this plugin possible in the first place.

It has been in the books since the beginning. Originally I opted not to do so because of a paragraph in the terms of use of the TMDB API which stated something like “no contents shall be stored in one’s db other than for caching purposes”. So I pushed back, wanting to make sure that the way it was handled would be in line with the TMDB terms.

The way this will work is that the payload will be cached in the db for a certain amount of time. There may or may not be a setting to allow a user to determine that amount of time. Then for the front end this will be applied automatically: When there is a request, the plugin will check if a cached version exists else it will call TMDB and then cache it. What I haven’t figured out completely is the wordpress backend behavior. To keep things simple, the admin will perhaps always get a ‘fresh’ view (that is then cached too). I thought of the admin being able to potentially compare the cached version to a fresh one and decide which to keep, but it seems a little more than I have time for right now.

The next release of the plugin fixes the translation issues. Running some final tests now, it should be released in the next week or so.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks jessayman for the link, I think you are right about the region call. I will look into this as soon as I can.

jasminerashard10 opened another thread for removing the release temporarily, I answered there.
