Display Featured Image for Genesis

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 · 96% 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.

Reviewers say it does what it promises with Genesis child themes, they call out fast, helpful support from the developer, and the one lukewarm review comes from someone who expected image placement without touching functions.php.

   I’m a new WordPress.org user (using Genesis with Altitude Pro) and this plug-in worked exactly how I needed it to. Thank you! 🙂

   Works very well with my Genesis child theme (MemberSonic) And Robin, the plugin maker, is very helpful and responsive to any questions.

   I was led to believe I could add a featured image below my post title. But after trying to configure the plugin found I’d need to add additional code to my functions.php which is what I was trying to avoid by using a plugin.

   This is a fantastic plugin since full-width images are so popular these days but not everyone wants a parallax theme. Works great, but Robin responded immediately to a question in the support forum, I hope she keeps building plugins, she’s a total rockstar.
