of downloads still active
At least 3K of 34.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,322 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| before after | #15 | #16 | down 1 |
| after before | #19 | #19 | down 1 |
| after your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| before your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| comparison your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| divi your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| slider your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
7 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Awesome bit of kit!

UPDATE – I had a very strange issue – for some reason this plugin (and another I tried!) seemed to clash with the normal divi gallery module (paginated). So I moved that gallery module, and this module works perfectly now, on mobile (and desktop). This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by photoMaldives.

Works incredible well in Divi!

OMG! I didn’t know about this plugin until I searched for before & after in the repository. I needed something to show images of rescue dogs before and after they were rescued and THIS plugin fit the bill perfectly. At first, I couldn’t find how to change the image sizes under Advanced tab, but then I saw a screenshot that it was under Advanced > Attributes. I kept missing it. Thank you so much.

I had wanted to add a feature like this to my website for ages. As a Divi Theme user, this one ticked all the boxes for me. It now appears as a Divi Module in my Divi page builder so I can add it anywhere you can add a Divi module. It doesn’t affect my page loading speed. It’s very easy to set up and looks great on the page. I’m very impressed and it would be good to see other features added as Divi modules in the future. If you use Divi from Elegant Themes, install this! Great work.

I think he deleted my comment. But I write again if it works when jetpack is not activated

I spent hours yesterday trying to figure out how to do something even simpler than this plug-in — a hover that revealed the before pict. This plug-in did exactly what I wanted in a very simple way. Great job!
