What you see in the demo is all imported from the TMDB API endpoints used. The plugin includes a predefined output layout (the same as the demo) which can be disabled so you can create your own output (preferably using Elementor in single templates and using the metadata fields; this is how most buyers use it and what it’s designed for in that cases).
Plugin also includes shortcodes for displaying fragments. See the Shortcodes article here 👈
Theme used in Live Demo is a custom Elementor template made by us and used only for showcase purposes. It is NOT included on the package for customers.
Plugin comes with a default output that runs automatically in the single post types templates. The visual result will depend on the theme you are using.
By saving the fields, images and taxonomies in WP, you can then reuse them (metadata) as you wish, creating your own frontend with any builder.
Yes, questions only available via support tickets or email only for verified customers.
