BuddyPress Message Attachment

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 · 64% 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.

   It works the way it is supposed to, but I was expecting more. Users can attach/upload files, but the recipient has to download the file in order to view it, even an image. Please make it work like Facebook or Whatsapp, so when the file is attached it gets instantly displayed on the screen. This will also serve as a preview for the user to consider sending the file or not.

   Despite adding formats in both lower and upper case (which shouldn’t be a problem to begin with), I can not send messages with a “jpg” attachment. “png” will send but viewing the attachment doesn’t work. They even spelt attachment wrong – “attachement”.
