Vimeotheque – Vimeo WordPress Plugin & Video Gallery

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

124 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 101 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

Crossed into this band 23 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   It takes way to long to install. Focused on playlists instead of individual videos. Unable to embed any video I tried.

   Just starting out with it but it works wonderfully. Plus the developer is very thorough and understands the confusion a new user might have. With his help, I have found it easy to continue developing my site. Paul Arenson, Japan This topic was modified 4 years, 10 months ago by tokyoprogressive5.

   After development of our site comprised of LearnDash and Memberpress I needed a way to pull in our content from Vimeo. Both LD and MP are pretty horrible when trying to do this natively. Pfft. Enter Vimeotheque. I had been considering this plugin all along but waited until I had the rest of the site developed. Once I got into it I found that for my purposes, with LearnDash I couldn’t easily link between the two for courses. Sigh… here’s where the fantastic support comes in. After a few detailed emails with Constantin at Code Flavors, we figured out where the disconnect was and … BOOM! I have LearnDash add-on that imports into my LMS as a lesson. The import feature is great but I can’t say I’ve used it for other than importing videos on a manual basis. But if there is something wrong, I know if I reach out he’ll have an answer.
