Auto Save Remote Image

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.

   This worked great for all the standard images I was trying to download but failed on some more complex images stored at aspx?filname=12335 like URL’s. I was able to hack my way around the issue and use the plugin anyways. Exactly what I need.

   It works well if you’re doing an auto-post, example: instagram to wordpress blog post. However, if you’re going to create a blog post in wordpress, it doesn’t allow you to save your featured image.

   This is a great idea. Now you can be assured that all your image links will work and will continue working regardless of what happens to the linked images. It also doubles as a way to automatically set the featured image (come on WP.org, have this be less of a hassle with remote image urls) See a mini-review on http://etchedinpixels.com/recommended/wordpress-plugins/
