Biggest opportunity: “portfolio” and “portfolio gallery” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.3%
of downloads still active
At least 60 of 22K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,323 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.21.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| quicksand your tag | #3 | #2 | up 1 |
| arconix your tag | #6 | #5 | 0 |
| portfolio your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

like in awesome portfolio, after filtering is a static width is set to the container. So the responsive design is destroyed. No thanks, to this plugin

This plugin is AWESOME, as is its support. It allows me to create different portfolios for different pages, and John even helped walk me through my user error with shortcodes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

i just love that this plugin comes with not too much styles, and the fact that i can style my on way by placing the css in my theme root folder is just so good.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ hulldini12.6y ago
The plugin is great and so is the support from the author. He even helped me by pointing out a few things that I had missed in developing the theme I was working on. After following his advice both my theme and his plugin worked as expected.
