VideoMax – Video, Movie & Series Streaming WordPress Theme

Description

VideoMax turns WordPress into a complete video streaming platform. Publish movies, series with seasons and episodes, anime and standalone videos in a dark, cinematic design. Decide exactly who can watch what: free content, premium memberships, pay-per-view with credits, time-limited rentals or access codes.

Everything is managed from one clean admin panel, and every page can be designed with Elementor using more than 25 dedicated VideoMax widgets. The VideoMax Core plugin ships inside the theme and installs with one click. Updates are offered from the theme, so your site always stays in sync.

Whether you run a film archive, an anime site, a course library or a niche video community, VideoMax gives you the catalog, the player, the monetisation and the tools to run it.

Key Features

Content & Catalog

• Movies, series (with seasons and episodes), videos, channels and actors as dedicated content types
• Genres with automatic line icons, a category index page and genre chips
• Rich content details: year, duration, quality, language, age rating, cast and more
• Seasons & episodes browser with search, “continue watching” and progress bars
• Similar content, popular series, new episodes, coming soon and countdown sections
• Broadcast schedule (release calendar) and new-episode notifications
• Site profile: switch the wording between a general video site and an anime site in one setting
• Redesigned, professional edit screens for every content type

Player

• Multi-source player: uploaded video, direct video URL, iframe code or embed URL
• Multiple sources per content, with subtitles
• Bunny Stream integration with optional signed URL protection
• Playback is checked on the server: sources are never printed for visitors who are not allowed to watch
• Account sharing limit: control how many devices can watch at the same time

Monetisation & Access

• Premium membership plans (weekly, monthly or any duration) through WooCommerce
• Credits: sell credit packages; visitors spend credits to unlock content
• Rentals: time-limited access to single titles
• Access codes: generate, export and redeem codes in bulk, with rate limiting against abuse
• Package rules: decide which plans unlock which movies, series or categories
• Revenue and sales reports, including active and ended memberships
• Built-in ad system: pre-roll video ads, banner ads, popup ads and script ads (each can be turned on or off)

Engagement

• Card previews: a short, muted MP4/WebM clip or animated WebP/GIF plays when the visitor hovers over a card. On phones the first tap plays it and the second tap opens the content.
• Banner Slider with images, animated GIF/WebP and MP4 video banners, with separate desktop and mobile files
• Likes/dislikes and a 1–10 rating system
• Favorites / My List and “Continue Watching”
• Content requests, support tickets, DMCA form and account deletion requests
• News section, which can be limited to premium members
• Seasonal looks for Christmas and Halloween

Age Verification (18+)

• Blur the covers and hide the descriptions of age-restricted content everywhere: home page, archives, search, Elementor widgets and account lists
• Apply it only to items marked with an age rating, or to all content at once: videos, movies, series, actors, channels, category cards and Banner Slider media
• Visitors confirm once; members’ confirmations are saved to their account
• Optional “confirmation only after login” mode
• The site itself stays open; there is no full-site entry wall
