of downloads still active

At least 1K of 20.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,318 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.

    I created a draft, and the plugin (basic version) seems to work fine. However, testing with monitor output and going all the way down to smaller devices (using the WPBB front end and beyond), the “Before” and “After” labels don’t appear on smaller devices without previous touch on the display. I’d prefer that those writing appear without needing touch.Overall, I find it easy and useful to use.Thanks This topic was modified 1 year ago by damianomalorzo.

    So hamstrung, as to not be worth using. Just use a fully functioning plugin and add the shortcode. This thing, is useless.

    This plugin works great, however the popup in the admin menu constantly bugging you to leave a review is THE WORST. Perhaps it will go away after this review, in which case I’ll change the rating to 5 stars. As far as doing the job, it does so admirably. The only thing to be aware of is the code itself is a little bloated because it’s actually wrapping a free plugin inside of it (Twenty20 Image Before-After) – The reason I went with the paid version is because they made it easier and faster to insert images and multiple sliders.
