Biggest opportunity: Swap “image” and “music” for “stories” and “audios”. “image” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “stories” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “music” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “audios” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.9%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 14K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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 |

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.

Congratulations on developing this useful plugin. Please, if possible, play the music by clicking on the image and not needing to touch the speaker icon.Thank you

Brilliant app, adding audio to the images, please keep enhancing this app. Would love autoplay if not currently available..

I love your plugin. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I have web site about the valencian language with large amounts of images in galleries and some of them need exactly this, a way to attach an audio file where the visitors can check how each wor on a picture is pronounced. I did a test page with a gallery made in wp block editor (whoch is very poor) and it works perfectly. I could also manage to change icon size and colour, as explained by you in this support formum. The big issue is, that I use the foogalllery plugin for al my image galleries and obviously inside these galleries the icon won’t appear and the audio won’t be able to launch. Do you know about other free galleries which support your plugin? Is there a workaround to manage issues in third party gallery plugins, adding some code?? Great work Jorge and Co.!!

Shame that it hasn’t been updated for so long as this plugin could have been really good. Was looking for something along these lines but i guess i will just have to keep on looking.
