WPMediaVerse 1.1.3

This release polishes the everyday photo experience and hardens media access — Facebook-style fullscreen lightbox, full-resolution images, signed URLs across every thumbnail surface, plus carry-over fixes from 1.1.2.

New

  • Facebook-style fullscreen lightbox. Click any photo and you get a clean full-viewport experience with full-resolution images. Site admins can choose the lightbox size (Original / Large / Medium / Auto) under Display settings.
  • Real video previews in grids. Phone videos (MP4/MOV) now show a proper preview thumbnail pulled from the video itself — no more black squares. Screen recordings without a built-in cover get a live first-frame preview from the browser.
  • Activity images now have breathing room. Photos posted to a BuddyPress activity have proper spacing inside the activity card.
  • "Upload Page" setting in admin. Pick which page shows your upload form.

Improved

  • Every thumbnail flows through signed URLs. Album covers, grid items, lightbox previews, BuddyPress activity media — all consistently routed through the access-controlled signed-URL endpoint. Private media stays private; logged-in users see what they should see; consistent fallback chain for missing sizes.
  • Consistent grid layout regardless of media type. Mixed grids of photos, videos, and audio uploads now have uniform card sizes.
  • Lucide icon system everywhere. Sharp matching SVGs across feeds, dashboards, lightbox, and the BuddyPress activity stream.
  • Album covers behave. Albums without a chosen cover automatically use the first photo. Picking a cover from the album edit screen now actually saves it.
  • Delete button stays where it should be. Trash icons only appear on a member's own profile and group media tabs — never on public Explore, Albums, or Collections grids.
  • Sharper Settings sidebar logo.

Fixed

  • Logged-in users can view shared media. A privacy lookup case was missing for logged-in members; admins and members now see content correctly.
  • Thumbnails always generate. Every upload now produces all three thumbnail sizes. Small images (under 1024px) used to be missing the "large" size; they're now filled in from the original file.
  • BuddyPress activity media renders reliably. Two-layer fallback ensures activity stream images appear even when an activity's HTML was edited or stripped by another plugin.
  • Lightbox Favorite button shows just one heart.
  • Carry-over fixes from 1.1.2: grid set to 5 columns now renders 5 columns; Stats page date filters update the counts; new tags appear in the tag cloud immediately; lightbox Share has a single icon; Favorite button is visible to all signed-in users.
  • Demo data installer fixed. Trying the plugin via Overview → "Try Demo Data" now generates real thumbnails and video previews like a normal upload would.

Under the hood

  • Unified thumbnail pipeline shared by Free and Pro plugins.
  • Upload failures now visible to admins via the error log instead of failing silently.
  • Block editor blocks load correctly via the WordPress Interactivity API on block-rendered pages.
  • Hardened uninstall with an additional safety check.
  • shared-ui-shell.css simplified by 160 lines after lightbox refactor.

Install

Download wpmediaverse-1.1.3.zip and upload via WP Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. Safe upgrade from 1.1.2 — no manual steps.
