From the developer

Kemal YAZICI's own description of GeeK!, lightly tidied.

GeeK! turns WordPress into a full movie, TV-show and video-game database. Catalogue titles, cast & crew, characters, companies, gaming platforms and engines — then let your visitors rate, review, build lists and follow release calendars, all from a fast single-page front end.

It is the most complete cinema-and-games platform available for WordPress: you get the data model, the import tools, the front-end apps and the membership system in one plugin. Pull rich metadata — posters, backdrops, galleries, trailers, cast, crew, ratings and release dates — straight from IMDb, TMDb and IGDB, and it lands in your own database, on your own site.

What you can build

  • A movie & TV database with full cast & crew, galleries, trailers, box-office, seasons and episodes.
  • A video-game database with platforms, engines, companies, game modes, perspectives, age ratings and per-platform release dates.
  • Editorial reviews and critic scores, plus community ratings, wishlists and watch/played tracking.
  • User-built lists (top 10s, watchlists, collections) that are sortable and shareable.
  • Member profiles with contribution scores, earned badges, votes, reviews and activity feeds.
  • A configurable homepage built from drag-and-drop widgets (hero, recently released, coming soon, most anticipated, latest critics, born today and more).

Key features

  • Custom post types for movies, TV shows, episodes, games, comics, people, characters, companies, platforms, engines, universes, families and lists — each with its own permalink and template.
  • Import from IMDb, TMDb and IGDB — fetch a title and its cast, crew, images, videos and release dates in a couple of clicks. Bulk import names, titles, credits, galleries and trailers.
  • Token Services — a metered fetching system so you only ever pay for the exact rows you import; galleries and trailers you already own are skipped automatically, so tokens are never wasted.
  • Single-page front end — catalogue, single-title, person, character, company, platform, list and profile views all run as fast React apps over the WordPress REST API.
  • Reviews & critics — long-form editorial critic articles with scores, plus short community reviews, kept in sync with each title’s average rating.
  • Members & moderation — front-end register/login, account statuses, a banned registry and a Users moderation screen.
  • Homepage widget builder — assemble a special front page from sortable, resizable widgets, or point it at any WordPress page.
  • Companion themes — a family of drop-in themes (movie and game oriented) that reskin every front-end surface through the --geekui-* design-token contract without touching the plugin markup.
  • Shortcodes & cards — embed a title card anywhere with [geekpress_card], or mount any catalogue/profile view with the [geekpress] shortcode.
  • Media everywhere — YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify and Dailymotion embeds, image galleries with a full-screen viewer, and per-title trailer reels.

Movie mode & Game mode

GeeK! runs as a movie site, a game site, or both at once. A single Site Mode setting decides which catalogues, navigation and homepage widgets appear, so the same plugin powers a film database and a games database from one codebase.
