Lumiere! Movies helps you integrate loads of information about movies and stars in your blog. Widgets, links to informative popup, and dedicated taxonomy pages are available. Everything is automatised and no further configuration is required from the user. However, should you want to access advanced features, your can change the themes, add taxonomy to your pages, remove links, display automatically information according to your blog posts’ titles, and use many hidden features. The information is retrieved from the popular IMDb website. Lumière! ensures that you have the most accurate and reliable information always available on your blog.
Many features are available in the WordPress old and new editing interfaces (block based editor, visual editor, and wysiwig editor). It is Content Security Policy (CSP) compliant, takes advantage of Polylang plugin and is fully compatible with AMP plugin. It is also fully compatible with Classic Editor and Classic Widgets plugins.
Lumière! is a great tool to illustrate your articles. You can display movie details by several ways, such as in popups, widgets, and straight inside your post. It can be extensively fine-tuned in the admin options panel.

Fixed also the taxonomy system, it now creates proper links towards taxonomy pages (ie: https://yourblog.com/lumiere-director/stanley-kubrick) within widgets/into the posts sections, with the appropriate language. Taxonomy for items (ie: genre) is now displayed for all items found. Added the general advanced option to add an extra delay when querying the IMDb website. Data downloading from imdb website is retried 3 times before giving up. Fixed bug in plugin activation, layout in admin data options position, improved Content security policy standards and compatibility with HTML 4.1, PHP 8.0, PHP 8.3. Banning bots is now executed before doing any IMDb search or display, avoiding cache creation (and 504 HTML errors when calling IMDb website!). Improved the comments in admin sections. Under the hood, the admin option pages have been cleaned and rewrote.
And much more! This is a major new version, more stable and safer, extensively tested before the release.
