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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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%.
