Traktivity

This plugin allows you to log your watched TV series on Trakt.tv. You need a Trakt.tv VIP account to set this up. The plugin reads your watch history through the Trakt.tv API, and since the middle of 2026 only VIP accounts can create the API application that key comes from. If you already had a key before that change, it should keep working. See the FAQ below for the details. :( Right now it only logs data. In the next version you will get ways to display that data on your site. Questions, problems? Take a look at the Installation and FAQ tabs here. If that doesn't help, post in the support forums. Want to contribute with a patch? Join me on GitHub! Credits The Traktivity plugin gets most its data from your Trakt.tv account, via the Trakt.tv API. To get more information about each show or movie, the plugin also uses the TMDb API. Traktivity is not endorsed or certified by TMDb or Trakt.tv. Do you like that header image? Me too!

3.0.1 Release date: September 3, 2026

• Fix a full synchronization importing only the most recent tenth of your Trakt.tv history, after Trakt.tv changed their API to return 100 results per page by default instead of the documented 10.
• Run a full synchronization in batches that resume, so a long history finishes instead of starting over when a run is cut short.
• Let sites that already ran a full synchronization run one again after updating, to pick up the skipped events. Events already imported are left alone.

3.0.0 Release date: September 2, 2026 This version needs WordPress 7.0 and PHP 7.4.

• Rebuild the setup screens with the components used elsewhere in the WordPress admin.
• Note on the connection screen that Trakt.tv now requires a VIP account to create an API application.

• Remove the poster-image wrapper around event images.
• Add alt text to event images.
• Stop sending Trakt.tv and TMDb API keys in the URL when checking them.
• Check credentials once on submit, rather than on every keystroke.
• Fix API keys and usernames containing an ampersand, apostrophe or angle bracket being altered when saved, an issue since 2.0.0. Re-save yours if it contains one.
• Fix the list widget's event type setting, which never removed a type once saved.
• Fix a fatal error when checking the TMDb key while TMDb is unreachable.
• Fix deprecation notices on PHP 8.1 and later.
• Fix a full synchronization looping forever when Trakt.tv cannot be reached as it starts.
• Fix requests for Trakt.tv usernames containing a character that has to be encoded in a URL.
