Overview

Releases group your movies and TV shows by the year they came out: one term per year, such as 2024. Your visitors can browse all the titles of a year from its page.

You find Releases in the Movies and TV Shows menus.

How the year is set

When you import a title, Dbmovies adds its year, if Release years is checked in Dbmovies › Settings › Data Importer › Initial settings › Taxonomies:

  • Movies: the year of their release date.
  • TV shows: the year of their first air date.

Each year is created only once and shared by all the titles of that year. If a title has no release date on TMDb, it gets no year.

You choose the word before the year in Settings › Permalinks, section Dbmovies: Taxonomies, field Taxonomy: Releases. The default is release:

permalink
https://your-website.com/release/2024/

Changing the word changes the address of every year page. Choose it before you open your site.
