A) Installing the plugin - top

Installing the plugin is very easy just like any other wordpress plugin.

First way) Your hosting settings must allow files of at least 300kb (plugin size) to be uploaded via form

Connect to wordpress admin panel and point to Plugins->Add New->Upload and upload the zip file directly.
Then go to wp-admin->plugins->and activate WP Watch Movies Plugin

Second way) no upload size limit

Connect to your hosting and upload the extracted zip file folder of the plugin into wp-content/plugins/
Then go to wp-admin->plugins->and activate WP Watch Movies Plugin

B) Permalinks: First step after installation

Upon installation process, our plugin will set your permalink structure to /%category%/%postname%/.

CRUCIAL: Please visit your wordpress administration panel-> settings section-> permalinks page and hit save twice. This will help wordpress reload all the new pages and custom query vars added by our plugin.

---

C) Setting the menu - top

Our plugin will automatically creates pages with required shortcodes to make it run: The second thing after installation is to configure your menu.

You do this by simply going to wp-admin->appearance->themes->menus

1st Page: "Watch Movies & TV Shows" Homepage with the tabs (recent/top rated/most commented/most links) - you can rename this page to any name. The most important thing is to keep the shortcode [wpwm_generate_tabs] into post content

2nd Page: "Search Movies & TV Shows This page is used for the search form to filter movies/tv shows by genre, kind, title, actor, etc. You can rename it, but keep the shortcode [wpwm_movies] into post content

Pages to keep away from menu

• WPWM AJAX - remove this page from menu (dont delete the actual wp page) -> it's used for the ajax star rating & pagination module
• WPWM REDIRECT - remove this page from menu (dont delete the actual wp page) -> it's used for the link redirection system
• Watch Online - remove this page from menu (don't remove the actual wp page) -> it's used to show different "kinds" like Movies/Tv Shows with pagination.

D) Pagination Configuration - top

You can configure pagination into wp-admin->Movies->items per row/page administration page.

With our plugin, you have full control on how may items are shown per page before pagination butttons (next/previous) will be shown.

You can also configure how many items will be shown on the homepage

Lastly, you can configure how many items per row you want to show (ie. how many movie thumbnails per row) before a new row is start

E) Adding Kinds - top

Kinds are the types of posts you want to have within your website., for example you could have Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, etc>

You can add unlimited kinds and genres as these are just custom wp taxonomies (like categories).
From the plugin menu wp-admin->Movies->Kinds you can add kinds like "Movies", "TV Shows", "Podcasts", etc.

F) Adding Genres - top

From the plugin menu wp-admin->Movies->Genres you can add genres like "Action", "Comedy", "SciFi", etc. - when using the autofetcher genres of a movie are automatically created if doesn't exist.

G) Adding movie/tv show - auto fetching details - top

If you want to add movies/tv shows you just need to enter the IMDB URL and all movie details will be automatically fetched, and a new post will be created for you

From the plugin menu wp-admin->Movies->Autofetch Movie Info you can automatically create a movie/tv show post with full details (title, genres, actors, runtime, poster, etc) by entering their ImDB URL. Attention: use the url into this format: http://www.imdb.com/title/imdbID/. Extra parameters like ?ref=xx will cause the scrapper not work.
That's it! Enjoy using!
