Turn your WordPress Download Manager into a full-featured movie & TV show gallery. WPDM – The Movie Database connects directly to the TMDB API to let you search, import, and display rich media data for movies, TV shows, and people — all as WPDM packages with posters, backdrops, cast, trailers, ratings, and more.
Also available with the WordPress Download Manager Special Pack. So, if you already have the special pack, you can download it for free from your premium download area.
Key Features
- Multi-Type Search & Import — Search TMDB for movies, TV shows, and people from the WordPress admin. Import any result as a WPDM package with a single click. Already-imported items are flagged so you can re-sync anytime.
- Rich Metadata — Automatically imports poster, backdrop, rating, genres, runtime, tagline, overview, release date, trailer (YouTube), cast & crew, and more. TV shows include full season/episode breakdowns.
- TMDB Showcase Page Template — A purpose-built WPDM page template with a cinematic hero section, spec strip, cast grid, season accordion, trailer embed, and a sidebar with download CTA and quick facts.
- Template Tags — Use tags like
[tmdb_rating],[tmdb_trailer],[tmdb_cast],[tmdb_hero],[tmdb_genres],[tmdb_seasons], and more inside any WPDM page template to display TMDB data exactly where you want it. - Shortcodes — Display TMDB content anywhere on your site:
[wpdm_tmdb_trending]— Trending movies & TV shows[wpdm_tmdb_top_rated]— Top rated titles[wpdm_tmdb_by_genre]— Browse by genre[wpdm_tmdb_carousel]— Poster carousel with auto-scroll
- Auto-Sync — Keep your library up to date. Enable scheduled syncing (hourly, twice daily, daily, or weekly) and the plugin will automatically refresh ratings, trailers, new seasons, and other metadata from TMDB.
- Admin Metabox — Every imported package shows a TMDB info panel in the editor sidebar with the TMDB ID, type, poster, rating, year, trailer key, and a one-click re-sync button.
- Settings Panel — Configure your TMDB API key (with a Test Connection button), language, sync interval, image quality, default access roles, and more — all from a dedicated tab in WPDM Settings.
- Dark Mode — All frontend components support dark mode via
.dark-modeclass orprefers-color-scheme: darkmedia query. - Legacy Migration — Existing data from older versions of the plugin is automatically migrated to the new schema on activation.

Is it possible to allow importing of additional data from Netflix like synopsis?
It imports all data available with TMDB, which includes all Netflix items too.
This Version 1.0.0 seems to crash WP ver: 6.1.1.
Fixed and updated. Please update to v1.0.1
Hi, there’s any tutorial on this plugin how use and work ? I already purchase this plugin so whenever I search for movies then click on add movie its keep processing. also this plugin can import full movie data or just contents and image ?
Can this plugin be used for the toroflix theme?
Would you consider extending this plugin, or providing another plugin, to do something similar for a music database?
Is it possible to allow importing of additional data from TMDB like synopsis?
Also can you add other types of entertainment like TV shows and not just movies?
Yes, noted for the next update 🙂
Thank you for considering!
If possible, I’d like all available meta-data (people, movies and tv shows) from TMDB to be available and admins can select and choose what types of data they want to import into their WP installation. I’m building a site that focuses on tv shows and actors/actresses, so this would be very helpful!
Another question: By importing this content it becomes searchable on the site, correct?
