Media Theme
You are hosting the site yourself and therefore have full control over and responsibility for the content.
WordPress doesn’t have any restrictions and in the end you can publish as many posts and upload as many files as you like. The only limit is the server. But that’s about it.
It depends on the extent of customizations you want to achieve.
By default two theme styles are available: Light mode and Dark mode. If you’re happy with the overall features and just need basic style modifications (colors, font, etc.) you can access the Site editor and edit the site according to your needs.
If you want to extend your site with specific features that go beyond styling, best practice is to create a Plugin. If you don’t already use one of the Child Themes we offer, you could even create a new one. This allows you to hook into existing functionality or entirely override the design and code according to your needs, at the same time ensuring a worry-free upgrade of the Themes when a new versions are released.
Definitely. Best practice is to create a Multisite network where you share resources like Themes, Plugins and Users between WordPress instances.
The connected sites can be setup using subdirectories (like mywebsite.com/recipes) or subdomains (like recipes.mywebsite.com).
Super admins have access to all sites but it’s also possible to assign individual users with specific roles to individual blogs only.
Not necessarily – but it’s strongly recommended.
First, the importer is much more efficient because any required data structure and all connections are created automatically.
Furthermore it helps with data consistency and keeps the content accurate.
When adding posts in the traditional way you will have to do a lot of manual work to get everything right.
Oh no. This should not happen as we’ve taken precautionary measures code-wise which should create an update instead of a (re)import if an existing post was found.
First, please make sure that there is no typo and that both posts really are exact duplicates. Then create a backup and try to delete the duplicate entry. Double-check and import it again.
If this doesn’t help, please let us know and include all necessary steps so we can reproduce the issue. You could also try to fix it yourself by aligning the Post GUID, which needs to be unique across the system, of the affected posts in the database.
Of course that would be possible. However, the information you create on these external sites does not belong to you and puts you in a position of dependency on a big tech company that needs to monetize your personal data.
For some people, privacy concerns may be important. Have a look at the privacy policy. You will see that you will be the subject of advertising based on your online activities.
Self-hosting means that you take full control of your digital life back again without any trade-offs. You could even establish your own community website and invite friends and family to join you.
Anything is possible.
Movies
Movie posts are imported via The Movie Database (TMDB) which handles all required content data like movie title, plot, release date, posters, videos, etc.
It would not be feasible to maintain such a large amount of content by hand. And you can even contribute if you found mistakes meaning that in the end you and others from the TMDB community will benefit from “crowd intelligence” resulting in higher data quality.
Registering an user account and creating an API key, which needs to be added in the theme settings, is free-of-charge.
Please note that we’re not affiliated with any of the third-party providers and have no control over the processing or quality of the data..
Please see previous FAQ. You should log in to The Movie Database (TMDB) and correct the mistake.
Afterwards you’ll have to wait some time and click on the “Refresh API” button or reimport the movie via the spreadsheet. Please note that the frequency of updating the data is limited.
We thought that 10 actors per movie was a good compromise in terms of actual needs and web space. If you want the find out the complete cast or even other film production members you can always open the provided TMDB or IMDb link.
Songs
For the sake of convenience your search is handled by several third-party APIs that are publicly available without any registration. Some lyrics may not be available for copyright reasons. Also, please also note that it can’t be guaranteed that the information returned by the external source is correct or accurate.
At the moment it’s not possible to switch the content provider but if you found a mistake, you can always search the web on your own and insert the content manually in the according spreadsheet fields. It is strongly recommended that the information is verified before submission.
Usually there are dozens of video and audio versions of a song: Radio edit, live version, extended release, lyric video or even special region-mixes (like US, UK, EU, Japanese, etc.).
It is difficult to know which of them you would like to have included in the post and that’s why adding the embed provider URL is a manual procedure. For your convenience we are linking directly to the search results of the providers.
Books
You can search for a book directly in the spreadsheet by entering the information in the “Author” and “Title” fields.
As an alternative you can lookup the number from websites that sell books or provide a database for authors and books.
Of course you can always enter the ISBN manually. Usually it is printed as a barcode on the back cover of a book.
We are using the openlibrary.org API and crawling book covers is not allowed according to the Open Library Covers API policy.
You will have to find a different source or upload a photo (scan) that you have taken.
Recipes
Recipes can only be imported from websites supporting Recipe schema.org structured data. This is an open standard for search engine optimization and quite common in larger recipe sites.
If automatic imports from a website don’t work at all, or only work partially, you’ll need to fill in the missing data manually.

Which CMS version is being used?
Which themes/plugins are activated. Do you have the latest versions installed?
Do you use a PHP version which is up-to-date and still supported?
Which operating system and browser version is being used?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: First of all, once you purchased an activation key you are permitted to install the plugin on your own WordPress instance(s).
Incorporating static third-party code in a theme is a bad idea because it prevents installing important (security) updates.
Automatic updates are limited to the number of possible installs according to the license plan you purchased. License keys must never be made public, shared with others or included within the code.
Please make sure that you successfully activated the plugin or theme by entering the activation key.
