We’ve released a small but important update for Presto Player Pro. Here’s what’s new:
Security We made several improvements behind the scenes to keep your site safer. Nothing you need to do, just extra protection running quietly in the background.
Fixed: Automatic updates On some sites, automatic updates were failing, which meant you had to update Presto Player manually. This is now fixed, so your site should update on its own like it’s supposed to.
Fixed: Analytics charts If you checked your video analytics for a date range longer than 31 days, the charts would flatten out and stop showing real data. That’s fixed now too, so your charts will show accurate numbers no matter how far back you look.
That’s it for this release. As always, if anything looks off after updating, our support team is happy to help.
Divi 5 users, we’ve got you covered. Presto Player now has a native module built just for the new Divi 5 builder. Drop into your video player without any extra setup or workarounds. It just works.
We’ve also tightened up security across the board with multiple hardening improvements, so your site stays safe and your videos keep playing smoothly.
What’s new:
Native Divi 5 module support – Add the Presto Player video player directly inside Divi 5, no plugins or extra steps needed.
Security improvements – multiple under-the-hood fixes to keep your site secure.
This release is all about making things work better under the hood. No new features this time, but two solid improvements that keep Presto Player running smoothly with the latest versions of WordPress.
Improvements:
Migrated to Block API v3 for better compatibility and performance with the WordPress block editor.
Reworked editor styling for a faster, more reliable editing experience.
This is a housekeeping release. No new features, but a handful of fixes and improvements that make Presto Player more reliable, more accessible to non-English users, and fully in line with WordPress.org plugin guidelines.
Improvement:
Presto Player now meets the latest WordPress.org plugin guidelines, with additional hardening from the Plugin Check tool.
Fixes:
Admin interface strings now load their translations correctly. If you use Presto Player in a language other than English, text in the admin area will now show up properly translated.
The dashboard navigation tabs and the Actions column header in Media Hub are now fully translatable.
Managing your videos should feel as good as the videos themselves. The old admin was functional, but it was starting to show its age. So we went back to the drawing board and rebuilt the entire experience from scratch.
Everything is cleaner, easier to navigate, and much more intentional. Here’s what changed.
A Real Dashboard to Start From
Before this update, opening Presto Player dropped you straight into the Media Hub. There was no real home base. No quick way to see how your videos were performing or where to go next.
The new Dashboard fixes that. You now land on a page that shows your top performing videos, recent view stats, and quick access links to Guided Onboarding, the Help Center, and Support. Everything you need, right at the start.
Media Hub, Refreshed
The Media Hub still does what it always did. But now it looks the part. The layout is cleaner, the table is better structured, and managing your video library just feels more organised than before.
Analytics, Given Its Own Space
Analytics was always buried. Now it has a proper dedicated page where you can track Views and Watch Time, filter by date range, see your Top Media ranked by total views and average watch time, and check which users are engaging the most. No digging around. Just the data you need, where you’d expect it.
Settings, Finally Organised
If you’ve ever gone into Settings and had to hunt for something, this one’s for you. Everything is now grouped into clear sections: General, Integrations, and Performance. Much easier to find what you’re looking for.
A Emails Tab
Email capture submissions from your videos still have their own dedicated space in the admin. The Emails tab keeps all your submissions in one place, easy to find and manage.
The Learn Tab: Get Set Up Without the Guesswork
New to Presto Player? Or just never explored everything it can do? The new Learn tab walks you through the whole setup in chapters. Getting Started, Player Customization, Branding, Embedding, Analytics, Integrations — all laid out step by step, with progress tracking so you always know where you left off.
