Content Grid Slider

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.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

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.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #21,400 to #22,800, alongside the other plugins at 40+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 3 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 50.

   This is a pretty nifty slider. We’re using it on a membership site as a members area navigation toolbar. There’s a few issues that we ran into though, which is why we gave it a 3 star rating: – Text styling: You have to be cautious about how much text you use as a description for each slide. The text will overflow past the description box and create some weird styling issues. This creates a problem especially if you only have a couple rows. The size of the description box needs to be dependent on the description text & not how many rows in the grid. Or inversely, the text needs to be styled to only fit in the small space alloted for the description area when only using 1 or 2 rows. – We’d like to have the actual grid boxes linked to the content. So instead of the user having to click, “Read More” in the description box, they can just click the actual image in the grid box and be directed to the linked content. Would definitely pay for a cleaned up premium version with more customization options. Keep up the good work, developers!

   Hello, thanks for this plugin, it looks good. Nice idea, working quite well, but.. 1. Settings are really strict. (color settings, tumbnails settings etc.) 2. Timing options ?!?

   Felt frustrated because I couldn’t remove the words from within the thumbnail/grid area. Also, the words there seem to push the thumbnail image up.. making the thumbs smaller. Also, it seems you are forced to have the title of the slider above the grid.. (in my case, ‘Content Grid Slider’ was sitting there, and I couldn’t remove it). Does what the demo shows.. will be a good plugin for many.
