Photo Gallery by 2J

Earlier reviewers found it quick and easy to build a first gallery, while the newest ones say they paid, waited weeks for support that never came, and couldn't get the plugin working.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #30,100 to #45,000, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 3 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   I have been waiting weeks for customer support to respond to my request for support. They requested my FTP login and have never been heard from since. Beware. This plugin doesn’t function and the support you’ll definitely need doesn’t exist even when you do pay for the plugin. Did I mention there is zero documentation for adjusting settings. Great concept under developed and under supported.

   This is exactly what I was looked for. Just few minutes take me to create my first gallery. Definitely should get a try!
