Add Watermarks

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 · 100% 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.

Older reviewers called it easy and useful, but the newest ones say it breaks image libraries and leaves 404s behind even after removal, with one site taken down by its host until the plugin's cache was deleted by hand.

   It broke all images in our site, I’m so glad we have Updraft Plus backing up our site 24/7 every hour, otherwise I would have gotten into a total disaster. DO NOT INSTALL THIS until the author fixes it.

   Nach der Installation und Aktivierung des Plugins kann bei meinem Theme Impreza keine Auswahl der Optionen mehr getroffen werden. Erst nach Deaktivierung funktioniert es wieder. Leider sind aber nach Deaktivierung des Plugins keine Bilder in den Beiträgen mehr sichtbar. Erst nach Aktivierung sind diese wieder zu sehen, dann funktioniert aber die Auswahlmöglichkeit bei Impreza nicht mehr. Sämtliche meiner Versuche dieses Plugin ordentlich zu löschen scheitern, da anschließend alle Beitragsbilder nicht mehr ersichtlich sind. Niemand kann bisher den Fehler finden, bzw. es so deaktivieren oder löschen, das anschließend wieder alles funktioniert. Schade, hatte sich sehr vielversprechend angehört.

   I deactivated and removed the plugin. The watermarks persisted. I added it back and disabled all the watermarks. Removed again. Uploaded the images I needed in my site, deciding to forgo watermarks entirely. It all broke. My entire image library was a minefield of server and 404 errors that my webhost temporarily disabled my site. I had to manually delete this plugn’s cache from my files before anything would work correctly. Ugh. Just ugh. Half star, if I could.

   Sorry to give you 1 star but the plugin brake completely the image directory of wpcasa plugin. Two days to understand the problem, .htaccess inside uploads (two different .htaccess) and reconfigure everything. Do not install it

   After installing, new images were automatically watermarked. Adding or removing watermarks (to all images at once) was easy. Straightforward configuration. Thumbs up!
