## We're Very Close to Launching the Beta Version 2.5.6 of DooPlay! After weeks of work, improvements, and optimizations, we are excited to announce that we are very close to releasing the first Beta version of DooPlay 2.5.6! This new version brings a series of important changes, updates, and fixes that will improve the performance, compatibility, and overall functionality of the theme. ## Compatibility with PHP 8 One of the main priorities of this new version has been ensuring that DooPlay is fully compatible with **PHP 8**, the latest version of PHP. We have updated and optimized the code to ensure it works seamlessly with the new features and improvements of PHP 8, offering better **security**, **stability**, and **performance** on servers running this PHP version. This effort includes: - **Support for new PHP 8 features** such as attributes, the `match()` operator, and the more efficient error handling system. - **Removal of deprecated functions** and code that is no longer compatible with PHP 8. - **General code optimization** to ensure no warnings or errors appear in the PHP 8 environment, taking full advantage of the improved performance of this version. ## Reorganization of the DooPlay Backend Files In addition to the PHP 8 compatibility improvements, we have carried out a **complete reorganization of the backend files** of DooPlay. This not only makes managing and maintaining the code easier but also improves the overall structure of the theme, making it more intuitive and extensible. Some key changes include: - **Modularization**: We have separated functions and files into smaller, more organized modules, which improves readability and makes future updates easier. - **Workflow optimization**: We’ve improved how the backend is structured, making it more efficient when managing system configurations and features. - **Better service integration**: We have optimized how DooPlay interacts with other services, such as DBMovies and customization options. ## Refactoring of Functions and Classes to Optimize Loading One of the most significant improvements in this version is the **complete refactoring of all functions and classes** in the theme. This refactoring effort aims to improve the **loading speed** of the theme, reduce resource consumption, and make the code more efficient. Some optimizations made include: - **Eliminating redundant code** and **obsolete functions** that are no longer necessary or have been replaced by more efficient methods. - **Optimizing database queries** to reduce load times and make pages load faster. - **Improved data handling efficiency** to reduce memory usage and improve overall site performance. ## Update Cycle Leading to Version 2.6 This version 2.5.6 will be the **start of a series of updates** that will continue until we reach version 2.6 of DooPlay. Improvements and optimizations will keep coming consistently, with the goal of providing new features, better compatibility, and even better performance. This update cycle will ensure that DooPlay stays at the forefront of user needs and best development practices. ## Extended Support for DooPlay 2 for 3 More Years We are committed to long-term support for **DooPlay 2**, which is why we’ve decided to extend **support for this version for 3 more years**. During this time, we will continue to fix bugs, improve security, and offer new features to ensure that our users have an excellent, uninterrupted experience. ## DooPlay V3 Exclusive for DBMovies Plugin Alongside the updates to DooPlay 2, we are also **preparing to launch DooPlay V3**, which will be an **exclusive theme for the DBMovies plugin**. This new version will mark a significant milestone in the theme's evolution, with advanced features and completely new functionalities designed to fully leverage DBMovies’ capabilities. With **Dooplay V3**, DBMovies users will have a much more integrated, seamless, and optimized experience. --- This is a detailed summary of the key changes and improvements that will be implemented in the new Beta version of **DooPlay 2.5.6**, focusing on **compatibility with PHP 8**, the **reorganization of the backend**, the **refactoring of functions and classes** to improve loading and performance, and the beginning of a continuous update cycle leading to version 2.6. Additionally, we’ve extended support for DooPlay 2 for another 3 years, and we are preparing to launch DooPlay V3, an exclusive theme for the DBMovies Plugin. We're getting closer to releasing a more optimized and powerful version!

### New Requirements - WordPress `6` or higher. - Tested on WordPress `6.7.1`. - PHP `8.1+`. - ionCube Loader `v13` extension. - MBString PHP Extension. - GD PHP Extension. - cURL PHP Extension. - Apache 2 with mod_rewrite enabled. - allow_url_fopen. - PDO PHP Extension. - MySQL 5.6 or MariaDB `10.5` or higher. ### ionCube After years of experience and facing loss of revenue due to unscrupulous individuals who put our operations with DooPlay at risk by distributing unauthorized copies, we have found it necessary to encrypt key parts of the code vital to the operation of the theme. Our only intention with this measure is to ensure the continuity and stability of our operations, protecting both our work and the value we offer to our users. To achieve this, we have decided to implement **ionCube**, an advanced PHP code encryption technology. ionCube allows us to protect DooPlay's source code, ensuring that only authorized users can access the theme's functionalities. This tool not only prevents uncontrolled distribution of the code, but also improves security by making it difficult for unauthorized modification or exploitation of the code. We believe that this measure is essential to continue offering a quality product and to guarantee the continuity of DooPlay support and updates. Thanks to ionCube, we will be able to maintain the integrity of our code, while continuing to offer a reliable and secure service to all our users.

Good news and don't forget to also develop the slideshow to improve the look of the home page.

@"ahmed badweno"#p76 We will get to that point, when we complete the refactoring of all DooPlay functions.

Good, this is great enthusiasm, and I will cooperate in translating it into Arabic and anything I can do to get it back to the top as before.

Please create a dedicated section for live TV channels, similar to the one for movies and series. Additionally, you can add a small slider below the main slider for TV channels. https://imgur.com/rrq2hMF Please ensure that all SEO standards are followed. I don’t know why, but despite my efforts, only the homepage of my website gets indexed on Google, and no other pages appear in search results.

![Season Manager](https://imgur.com/HDW47Eg.png) ## 🚀 Season Manager It will be available in DooPlay 2, we just implemented it in the next update. Import and update all seasons and episodes in one pop-up modal. ![Season Manager](https://imgur.com/u7X28LJ.png) ## 🧑💻 New options and capabilities for Dbmovies. We have taken some of the best control and management capabilities from our Dbmovies plugin and integrated them into DooPlay successfully. ![General Settings](https://imgur.com/veIlRXe.png) ![Custom Permalink Names](https://imgur.com/pNuJX5U.png) ![Meta Updater](https://imgur.com/DHHDlYt.png) ![Advanced Settings](https://imgur.com/zGGPvao.png)

When will the version be released?

@"ahmed badweno"#p98 I will start closing all my tickets and leave a pretty decent version that you can use as a test. I will review all your feedback and continue to edit DooPlay until we get a stable version that we can maintain in the long term. I promise to release this test version **before February 15**, because after that date I have to go back to another project.

😄 I bet few people will understand this image and all it implies. ![one-piece Seasons in DooPlay](https://imgur.com/GhefbEj.png)

DooPlay 2.5.6 details

alma

I think the problem is with the starstruck rating. I don't know if I'm right or wrong.

It would be better if there was an automatic rating for each data import. Because if the data is imported and does not have a rating in TMDB or IMDB, it will have invalid data in Google crawl.

Erick Meza

alma That issue was fixed a long time ago, if there is no average rating, it displays the IMDb ratings by default and if there is no average rating, it still displays a completely valid 0 rating in the rich results. Can you tell me exactly which version you are using?

alma

Im currently using v2.5.5 sir.

If we enable it in IMDb and not in tmdb, that might be the reason why I'm having such problems because most of my data that I import doesn't have data in IMDB but only in TMDB. . almost most of my data is not in IMDB because it's not popular data (movie/series), I manually put it in TMDB before I import

Erick Meza

alma I understand, I think I can do something about it, thanks for illustrating the problem.

alma

Thank you very much. I hope you can add this in the next update version, anyway I have another problem, it's about the required pages of our template and these are the following.

Top IMDB
Ratings
Trending
Account
Contact

One day I edited one of them to change its default title using yoast. After I edited it, its contents no longer worked and it became a normal page. I tried updating the page in the dooplay panel settings but nothing changed.

My server configuration is
Ubuntu 20.4
NGINX
PHP-7.4
Wordpress version: 6.7.1

Erick Meza

alma 😎 You just have to choose the right template..

Click here

Select the correct template

alma

This is what it looks like when the page has not been updated on the edit page, it has a "Template Option".

And after I edit the page the "Template Option" disappears

Screenshot without template

Erick Meza

alma Please fill out this form and share with us temporary access to your wp-admin to verify it, we have not been able to replicate this error from our DEMO.

alma

The next thing I did was delete that page and create a new one but the template option never came back.

Jean Reyes

alma The template name has been changed and the theme code that identifies the templates has been removed.

alma

Thank you

alma

I send already sir

Erick Meza

alma The theme code has been modified so that the headers that should identify the plants have been removed. Fortunately, this is resolved by returning the header comments to the required pages.

alma

Do you mean sir that something was removed from the header.php of the templates?

Erick Meza

alma Don't remove comments from the code.

I will admit that I changed the template names and modified it myself. anyway thank you for awesome full support.

alma

I just have one suggestion and it's about the DBMovies Plugin, If ever a function like COUNTRY selection is added to make it even more advanced, what do you think? Will many people be interested in this?
