About VEFpressKit
From the official readme · v1.15.6Description
VEFpressKit lets you build a professional media/press kit — a PDF (and an optional zip with the real files) that anyone can download from a stable link on your site. It works for any type of activity: artists, agencies, independents, shops — not just musicians.
Kit builder — simple and generic
- Global style: header band color or image (auto-cropped to fit), section title color, global text/link color, title/text fonts (3 universal families, or upload your own .ttf/.woff/.woff2 file), optional PDF background color
- Introduction text, always shown first — with optional background/text color
- As many sections as you need, in any order you choose (Text, Photos, Documents, Audio, or Two columns with a different content type in each column)
- Text sections: rich text (bold, italic, lists, clickable links, alignment), with optional background/text color and a single image on its own line
- Photos: shown in the PDF as a gallery that illustrates the kit, with the original full-resolution files added to the zip
- Documents and audio files: listed by name in the PDF, included as real files in the zip download
- Fully automatic pagination — a long text or a long list of files is never cut off
- Optional downloadable zip (PDF + photos + documents + audio), automatic fallback to PDF-only if your hosting doesn’t support zip creation
- Stable public download URL — paste it in your own button or link, on any page builder
- Help, Support and Diagnostic screens built in
- Optional free license (About tab): register your copy to receive news and offers and get faster support. It unlocks nothing — the plugin works exactly the same without it.
No dependency
VEFpressKit works entirely on its own. It also exposes a filter (vefpk_extra_content) so other plugins can add their own content to the kit — without VEFpressKit ever depending on them. The “Extensions” card on the Kit builder screen lets you turn that added content off without deactivating the extension itself.
Need more? VEFpressKit Pro
VEFpressKit stays free and complete: building the kit, the PDF, the zip and the stable download link all work without the Pro. VEFpressKit Pro is a separate paid extension (installed in addition to VEFpressKit, which it requires) that adds tools to manage who downloads your kit and how:
- Contact form before the download (off, optional or required), with a notification email and a history of the requests received
- Download statistics, day by day
- Download links limited to a number of uses, to an expiry date, or both — for example one link per journalist
- Several independent kits, each with its own content, PDF, zip and download link — useful for an agency managing several clients
- Send the download link by email to a list of press contacts you keep in the plugin (the email carries the link, never the file)
- Five additional PDF templates (Minimal, Bold, Elegant, Modern Mono, Corporate)
Every Pro feature builds on the kit you already created — nothing to set up twice.
External services
This plugin connects to V-IMAGES.com (the plugin’s publisher) in two cases only, both started by you — never automatically for a site that has not asked for it.
Support requests. Only when you explicitly use the “Support & feature requests” screen: submitting that form sends your message, email, and basic site/version diagnostics (no personal data beyond what you typed) to V-IMAGES.com, the plugin’s developer, so they can reply and process the request. Nothing is sent automatically or in the background — only when you click “Send the request”. If you registered for the optional free license (below), its key is added to the request so your site is identified right away.
Optional free license. Only if you ask for it, from the “Free license” card on the About tab: nothing is sent until you fill in the form and tick the consent box. The free license unlocks nothing — the plugin works exactly the same without it; it only lets the publisher send you news and offers, and identify your site when you ask for support. When you register, the following is sent: the email address you typed, the exact consent text you agreed to, your site’s URL, the VEFpressKit version and your site’s language. While you are registered, each time you open the About tab or the Kit builder screen the plugin checks the registration status (on each of those screens until you confirm by email, then once a week), sending your license key, your site’s URL and the VEFpressKit version. When you unregister, the plugin asks the service to delete your data.
These services are provided by V-IMAGES.com: terms of use, privacy policy.
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to
/wp-content/plugins/vefpresskit, or install directly from your WordPress admin. - Activate the plugin.
- Go to “VEFpressKit” in your WordPress admin menu (Kit builder screen), fill in your identity, contact information and sections, then click “Save and generate the kit”.
- Copy the stable download URL shown on the page into your own button or link anywhere on your site.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work for a non-musician?
Yes — VEFpressKit is fully generic. It was designed for any type of activity.
What happens if my hosting doesn’t support zip files?
The plugin automatically falls back to offering the PDF only. Documents and audio files listed in a section simply won’t be attached in that case — this is shown clearly in the admin diagnostic screen.
Can I embed audio or video playback inside the PDF?
No — a PDF is a static document, it can never play audio or video. Audio/document files are listed by name in the PDF and included as real, downloadable files in the zip.
Is there a Pro version?
Yes. VEFpressKit Pro is a separate paid extension, sold on v-images.com. VEFpressKit itself is not limited: the Pro only adds features, and nothing in the free plugin is locked.
Changelog
1.15.6
- Changed: VEFpressKit now requires PHP 8.3 or higher, because PHP 8.2 stops receiving security fixes on 31 December 2026. WordPress only offers this update on sites that meet the requirement; most hosts let you switch the PHP version from their control panel.
1.15.5
- Fixed: in a “2 columns” section, a photo no longer floats in the middle of its column, which pushed the two photos far apart. Photos now fill the width of their column (up to a maximum height, since the pictures in the PDF only illustrate the kit), flush left.
- Fixed: in a “2 columns” section, the two column titles now always stay on the same page as the top of their columns. A title is no longer left alone at the bottom of a page while its photo moves to the next one, and the two columns always start on the same page. A column that is longer than the page continues on the next page, as before.
- Fixed: the title of a full-width “Photos” section could also be left alone at the bottom of a page, with its photos on the next page.
- Fixed: text placed right under an image touched the bottom edge of that image.
- Changed: clearer help texts. A new “How the kit works” help tab explains that the PDF illustrates and the zip carries the full-resolution originals, and which images end up in the zip.
1.15.4
- Fixed: the WordPress “Help” button never appeared on the Kit builder screen, so its help tabs (section types, Free vs Pro) could not be opened. They now show.
- Fixed: removing a section and then adding a new text section by Ajax could give two editors the same identifier. Editors are now identified by their section, not by their position.
- Fixed: clicking two “Add a … section” buttons in quick succession could lose one of the two sections. Only one addition runs at a time.
- Fixed: a harmless JavaScript error on the Kits screen of VEFpressKit Pro.
1.15.3
- Fixed: saving the kit multiplied its sections. Since 1.13.0, every save split each section into several fragments, so the list grew at every save (4 sections became 16, then 64). The sections of the form are now numbered one by one, so a save keeps exactly the sections you see, in the order you see them. If an earlier save already left empty or duplicated sections in your kit, remove them once with the “Remove” button and save again.
1.15.2
- Changed: new look for every admin screen. Each page now has a header with its name and purpose, tabs with icons, redesigned cards and settings rows, and a Save button that stays visible on long kits. It follows the admin color scheme you chose in WordPress and works on small screens. Presentation only: no setting, feature or generated kit changes.
1.15.1
- Fixed: PHP 8.5 compatibility — the PDF engine no longer calls a GD function deprecated in PHP 8.5. No visible change.
