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. 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 3K+ in roughly 180 days.

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.

   The concept is simple … but of course what’s going on behind the scenes is incredibly complex. This plugin … just works! Amazing. Well done, Migen! You are a rock star.

   Does what it described with minimal hiccups. The batch generation seems to stall out a bit, but the on demand generation is great.

Recent releases and news for this plugin

1. — Version 2.6.2 Fixed: bulk generation could die a few images into a large run. A single failed request — a hosting timeout, a momentary 500, a burst limit on admin requests — used to kill the whole run silently. Failed requests are now 2.6.2
2. — Version 2.6.1 Fixed: bulk generation no longer keeps retrying after your credits run out. It used to treat “out of credits” like a single bad image and carry on to the next one, so a large library produced hundreds of failed attempts 2.6.1
3. — Version 2.6.0 New: protect alt text you wrote yourself. Under Bulk Generation, list words such as “logo” or “sponsor” and any image whose current alt text contains one of them is left untouched — even with “Process All Images” turned 2.6.0
4. — Version 2.5.5 Fixed: the Media Library “Generate Alt Text” bulk action only ever processed the first selected image. The background job that handles the rest exited immediately because the bulk action never flagged a run as started, s 2.5.5
5. — Version 2.5.4 Fixed: managed credits now actually generate alt text. A result-format mismatch caused managed-mode generation to fail on every path (bulk, single, upload, WP-CLI). This was the root cause behind “nothing happens” report 2.5.4
6. — Version 2.5.3 Settings: managed credits (no API key needed) is now the recommended option, shown first; using your own API key is presented as an “Advanced” option below 2.5.3
