Acme Fix Images – Regenerate Thumbnails

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 78% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewers say it does what it claims but hard crops everything and flips a WordPress setting they can't easily undo, and one says you're better off resizing images by hand.

   You’re better off editing all the images manually.

   This plugin works as advertised, but it didn’t advertise that it will hard crop all images, and that it will also toggle the (at this writing unreachable) wordpress setting to do so for medium and large images. My only fix for the problem this caused was here: https://gist.github.com/morgyface/3d9ccbd12e461018eb024fa44ea41b9e
