rtMedia was built for 2014 BuddyPress. Your community needs a 2026 media plugin.
WPMediaVerse integrates deeply with BuddyPress: profile media tabs, group media tabs, activity feed uploads, and social features. Migrate your existing rtMedia library with one click. Custom database tables replace the wp_posts storage that bogs rtMedia down at scale. AI moderation, direct messaging, and 80+ REST API endpoints included. Free forever.
BuddyPress media plugins have not kept up with the platform.

Migrate from rtMedia to WPMediaVerse in one afternoon
Who it's for
rtMedia is slowing down. BuddyBoss locks you in. There is a better option.
rtMedia stores uploads in wp_posts and has not evolved significantly in years. BuddyBoss Media requires their proprietary platform and theme. WPMediaVerse works with BuddyPress and any theme, stores data in custom tables, and includes features neither alternative offers.
WPMediaVerse is the natural upgrade from rtMedia for any BuddyPress community. Same integration depth, better architecture, more features, and a migration tool that preserves everything. No platform lock-in.
Every BuddyPress media feature rtMedia offered, plus everything it could not
rtMedia established the standard for BuddyPress media: profile tabs, group tabs, and activity feed uploads. WPMediaVerse matches every one of those features and adds AI moderation, direct messaging, a follow system, six privacy levels, 80+ REST API endpoints, and a custom database architecture that does not slow down at scale. The migration tool makes switching painless.
Member profiles show media tabs with uploads, albums, and social stats. Integrates seamlessly with BuddyPress.
Everything your community needs
No extensions to buy. No integrations to configure. It ships with all of this.
BuddyPress profile media tabs
Every member profile gets a media tab showing uploads in a grid. Albums, favorites, and activity appear on the profile automatically. No configuration required.
BuddyPress group media tabs
Groups get shared media tabs where members upload photos, videos, and audio. Group admins moderate content. Shared albums organize group media by topic or event.
Activity feed media uploads
Media uploads appear in the BuddyPress activity feed with inline previews and players. Members react, comment, and share directly from the activity stream.
One-click rtMedia migration (Pro)
The migration importer reads rtMedia's database and recreates uploads, albums, user associations, and privacy settings in WPMediaVerse custom tables. Preserves everything.
AI moderation for community safety
OpenAI Vision scans every upload automatically. Flag or reject inappropriate content before it appears on profiles, groups, or the activity feed. Included free.
Direct messaging between members
Text and media messages between BuddyPress members. Share photos and videos privately. Works alongside BuddyPress messaging or independently.
Albums and smart collections
Members create albums on their profiles. Groups maintain shared albums. Smart collections auto-curate based on tags, media type, or date range.
Six privacy levels per upload
Public, members-only, friends-only, group-restricted, private, or custom rules. Fine-grained privacy that works with BuddyPress friendship and group membership.
Reactions, comments, and favorites
Emoji reactions, threaded comments, and favorites on every upload. Members bookmark content to revisit later. Social engagement drives community activity.
Explore feed for content discovery
A public explore page surfaces media from across the community. Filter by tag, media type, user, or popularity. New members discover content immediately.
80+ REST API endpoints
Full API coverage for uploads, albums, reactions, comments, follows, messages, and BuddyPress integration points. Build mobile apps or custom frontends.
13 Gutenberg blocks
Media grid, upload button, album viewer, explore feed, lightbox, and more. Build media pages within the block editor. No shortcodes needed.

Rated 4.7/5 on Trustpilot from 87 reviews
The theme is beautifully designed, and the plugins are user-friendly. Everything works smoothly. What impressed me most is their outstanding customer support: quick, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile.

We use BuddyPress with several plugins from Wbcom Designs, and we are extremely satisfied. The plugins add real value for our community, are updated regularly, and integrate seamlessly.

I have learned that if the support is not prompt and effective it is a sign to move on. Tonight, Wbcom has impressed me. Fast, friendly and effective.
