Already running a media plugin?
One-click move from any of the three big BuddyPress media plugins.
Migrators read the source plugin tables directly. URLs survive so Google does not re-index from scratch. Larger libraries run through Action Scheduler in the background.

Pick rtMedia in the migrator. Mediaverse reads the rtMedia tables direct - photos, comments, albums, privacy settings preserved.

Before you install
Six questions, six straight answers.
- 01
Can I really run an Instagram-style community on my WordPress site?
Yes. Mediaverse Pro ships an Instagram layout out of the box, and switches to Pinterest, Flickr, Dribbble, or Grid with one setting. Same content, different feel. Free uses the Grid layout.
- 02
Does it need BuddyPress?
No. Mediaverse runs as a complete media community on its own. If BuddyPress is active, profile media tabs, group tabs, and activity feed uploads turn on automatically. The integration is included, not required.
- 03
Will it slow my site down?
No. Photos and videos in Pro live in Amazon S3 or BunnyCDN, not on your server. Free uses your hosting, so it scales with whatever plan you are on. Most communities run on free indefinitely.
- 04
How does Mediaverse keep unsafe uploads off the site?
Automatic safety review runs on every upload before anything goes public. Free uses OpenAI Vision; Pro adds two more providers. You set the rule once and stop worrying about manual moderation queues.
- 05
Do I need the free version installed?
Yes. Pro requires free Mediaverse to be active. Both update in lockstep. Pro is module-based, so you turn on only what you actually use (layouts, cloud, video, gamification).
- 06
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Pro has a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Free is free forever with no feature locks. Lifetime tiers cost less than two years of the equivalent annual.
Switch the media community into Instagram, Pinterest, Flickr, or Dribbble.
Pro adds the five layout modes, cloud storage, video transcoding, photo competitions, and gamification a community at scale needs. EarlyBird drops every Pro tier 30%.
