Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Indispensable pour ceux qui comme moi ont installé et désinstallé différents plugins images sans se rendre compte des dégats causés à trop de manipulations dans la médiathéque.; JE RECOMMANDE….

A hard upload limit per file is set by the hosting provider on the webserver. I needed to upload some video files bigger than 128MB. Uploading through FTP was possible but then there is no pointer to the uploaded file. Thank you, this has been a great help to me.

This extension saved me hours of work and headaches. It allowed me to upload media via FTP to a folder from an earlier date, and all the links were updated with the new media. This kind of task is difficult to do, and plugins that claim to be able to do it don’t work; the URLs are only modified virtually.
