This version is a Wordpress Plugin that can be easily installed on any Wordpress Site! For the stand-alone PHP Script, click here.
Why the Low Rating?
Many people have been upset that this plugin does fully hook up into their Wordpress database, which is understandable. In version 1, this plugin helped anyone get AMG up and running on their Wordpress site, yet site admins had to switch between WP-Admin and the Mokoala CMS to manage AMG. Now the AMG admin panel is within WP-Admin. Also in version 2, I have made a few important changes to the way members authenticate with a Wordpress site. Included is a plugin called ‘oAuth Provider’, which enables your WP members to sign into AMG using their existing WP accounts. Although you have to keep managing AMG separately from WP, your users will not know the difference, and you can now easily charge members for access to AMG if you configure your WP site with the right payment plugin. With this new version, you can also post from AMG to WP, which can help build your site content. I hope this new version helps you achieve your desired outcome, and if you enjoy this Plugin please REVIEW IT and help it get a better rating on Code Canyon! I’ve also added 100s of new features that cannot be found elsewhere – so please enjoy, thank you!
- AMG Settings Panel now within WP-Admin
- WP Users can now easily authenticate with AMG
- Easily setup up a user payment system between AMG and WP

The Best Image, Video, and Audio Script
If you’re searching for the best social media community framework available to build your dream audio, video, and photo site, then look no further because this is it. The code I’ve assembled contains the latest, most advanced scripts around, and once you get the hang of the customized Mokoala CMS and the front-end framework, it’ll blow your mind! You’ll save thousands of work-hours. Ultimately, I hope that you will use this script to build awesome online communities.
Version 2.0
The difference between AMG V1.0 and V2.0 is night and day. Version 2 has been completely gutted and rebuilt. There are over 100 new options and features to help you easily customize the look and feel of your gallery.
Who Needs This Framework?
This php application can be added to any existing website, or used as the center-piece of a new website. The application can be useful for photography clubs, modelling agencies, DJs, fashionistas, art and music communities, graphic design portals, food and recipe sites, tourism, memes, and many other types of communities. This framework resembles Behance.com, Dribbble.com, and 500px.com, however it is a standalone application that you can adapt for any purpose imaginable.
