Images served from a CDN render again, video covers show up, and uploading gains the fields it was missing.

  • New - The profile and group Media tabs now have title, caption, tags and privacy fields on upload, matching every other upload screen.
  • New - The lightbox now has an Edit button on your own media, so a title or caption can be added after uploading.
  • New - Album contents can now be read over the REST API. Asking for an album's items previously returned "not found", so apps and custom clients could not list an album.
  • Improve - Migrating media to or from cloud storage now repoints every stored variant URL, so nothing is left pointing at the previous location.
  • Improve - Grids of videos no longer download part of every video file just to draw a thumbnail.
  • Improve - Opening a photo full size now loads the 1024px version instead of the untouched original, so the first view is much faster. Sites that want the original back can switch Lightbox Image Size in Display settings.
  • Improve - Media grid rendering tightened.
  • Improve - Reaction buttons on a single media page now report their pressed state to screen readers, matching the lightbox.
  • Fix - Migrating media with WP-CLI now moves thumbnails and WebP/AVIF files too, not just the original. Previously every derived image was left behind and broke once the media pointed at the CDN. Sites migrated from the admin screen were never affected.
  • Fix - Backfilling cloud thumbnails now also uploads the full-size WebP and AVIF files, which repairs single media pages left broken by an earlier migration.
  • Fix - Uploading several files at once from the Upload page or the member dashboard now posts one activity item with all the images, instead of a separate feed entry per file. The upload modal already worked this way.
  • Fix - A multi-file upload from the member dashboard now keeps its description, so the grouped activity item is no longer posted without its caption.
  • Fix - The "Upload 0 file(s)" bar no longer appears on the member dashboard when no files are selected.
  • Fix - Video covers no longer render blank. Grids were forcing the browser to paint the frame at 0.1 seconds, which covered up the generated poster, so any video opening on a fade-in, title card or white intro showed an empty tile. Posters and the bundled fallback cover are now what you see.
  • Fix - Videos uploaded from the Upload page or the member dashboard now get a cover captured in the browser, so a site without ffmpeg installed no longer ends up with cover-less videos.
  • Fix - WebP and AVIF images no longer return 403 on sites that serve media from a CDN. Variant URLs now resolve through the same storage driver as the JPEG instead of a stale local path.
  • Fix - Admin media details links to a variant file now point at the file's real location, so they open instead of failing on CDN-backed sites.
  • Fix - A media item can no longer be saved without a title. The Save button stays disabled while the field is empty, and the API refuses a blank title instead of storing one.
  • Fix - The album and media-player blocks now explain themselves when they point at something missing, instead of rendering an empty space. Editors see the reason; visitors see nothing.
  • Fix - The storage panel no longer counts private media as being in the cloud. The three tiles now add up to the library total.
