Auto iFrame

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 70% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 5 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 63% of the way through.

   The plugin has auto size, which is a premium feature. However, thanks to the author, he generously offered it free without restriction.

   This plugin works very fine! Because of caching issues in combination with user restrictions I made a page with 20 iFrames, each loading another small page offering download links. This was the only chance for me to handle it and Auto iFrame made it possible. The resizing of the iFrames works perfectly. Many thanks for this great plugin!

   Very misleading description. Does not work with content from “remote sites” ie not on the same domain – As stated by others, and despite what the author may insist, “cross domain” is basically the same as a “remote site”.

   I would assume for the non tech people you would supply a simple code where you only enter the link from Google sheets but no. What is this? [auto-iframe link=xxx tag=xxx width=xxx height=xxx autosize=yes/no] Says “link=xxx” but how do you insert the link above and where? Makes this an uninstall and waste of time, give a working sample at least not something we need to figure out

   Had to leave a review as I think this plugin deserves more praise and attention. I’d spent a few hours (hate to count how many exactly) trying to get a few other auto-resize iframe methods working with poor results. It looked like the solution was to simply accept several more hours of work would be needed… I was beginning to lose hope. Instead, why not search for a WordPress iframe resizer plugin? The result, within 5 minutes I had a perfect auto-resizing iframe working – and it was so easy I almost feel sick with how much time I wasted on the previous methods. Thank you Greg. Auto Iframe has genuinely made my day. (Small donation sent.)

   Unlike many, I have seen no real issues with the plugin and find it very useful. In my tests, you simply follow the directions and it just works. No tweaking required in my experience. Best iFrame plugin I have found here on repository.

   Really great plugin. I needed for one site to embed few Leadpages ifarmes and there was a lot of job to make it look good for all screen sizes but this plugin saved me hours and hours of hard work. I even bought commercial plugin that should have the same function but it didn’t work at all. Still I can’t believe this works so great. Perhaps better support would attract more users of this fantastic plugin.
