Catch Gallery

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 · 46% 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.

   Works with WordPress 6.7 and PHP 8. Lightbox shows exactly as one would hope with comments and meta data. Thank you for making a light weight version of Jetpack Carousel gallery.

   Probé algunos plugin para hacer una galería masonry, y éste no está mal, activé “tiles mosaic” con “random order”, y es muy llamativo, cada vez que entras en la página muestra un orden aleatorio-random y lo mejor que forma una galería cuadrada (que no tiene sobresale en la parte inferior de las fotos, se ajusta a una cruadrícula). Muy bueno, y sencillo de usar. Yo uso el plugin “classic editor” y es sencillo. Buen aporte de este plugin.

   A pretty solid replacement to the Jetpack Tiled Gallery.

   …wobei eigentlich noch nicht mal das der Fall ist, denn es wird einfach nirgendwo im Classic-Block eine der Galerie-Optionen angezeigt, mit denen geworben wird. Und mal nebenbei: ohne die Anleitung auf der Homepage, hätte ich erst gar nicht gewusst, wo ich überhaupt suchen soll. Aus der Beschreibung oder den Optionen geht das nämlich leider nicht hervor. Keine Ahnung wie der Status zustande kommt, dass es mit der aktuellen WordPress-Version kompatibel sein soll? Dem ist leider nicht so! This topic was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by j4n_solo.

   there are no new settings for the WordPress gallery, no new gallery block type, nothing anywhere that i can see this actually does anything. A different plugin is working to give me masonry options to apply to the default gallery but was really hoping for a mosaic option.
