Biggest opportunity: Swap “gallery”, “image gallery” and “image slider” for “flv”, “swf” and “albums”. “gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “flv” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “swf” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “albums” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.1%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 1.7M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,317 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles10 of the last 15 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

E’ una truffa! Non acquistate, il plugin PREMIUM non funziona e l’assistenza non risponde. Dovrebbe essere eliminato dal repository di wordpress. It is a scam! Do not purchase, the PREMIUM plugin does not work and the support does not respond. It should be deleted from the wordpress repository.

Do not activate this. It crashed my website and was not able to log in the admin. It stated “sorry you do not have access”. I had to go to my host to deactivate the plug in. This topic was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by thehuskies101718.

There are way too many ads for their pro version and other plugins and there is no instruction on how to actually post the slideshow – cannot find the shortcode. Even if it is there and I missed it, it should be right where it is obvious and I shouldn’t have to hunt for it.

Hi there! i think that developer no longer support his project or he isn’t alive. I’ve bought Easy Media Gallery Pro but it works ugly. There is no answer from the support. I wrote by feedback form, email, facebook — no answer. Swindlers!

Support for paid members has been terrible for me. Forms extremely complicated and if you provide all the extensive requested details, there has been no response to my questions. Now WordFence has alerted me that these two plugins (Contact Pro and Media Galery) appear to be malicous. Now I am waiting for my 3rd paid plugin instagram feed to be next. Very disappointing to pay for a plugin and fight to get help.

I have been using this plugin for a while now. We added an SSL certificate to our site and the plugin started displaying differently. I contacted support and they replied within a few minutes. They logged into the site and made the fix straight away. Now that’s GREAT SUPPORT.

Used this plug-in for my fine art site — it functions nicely and the customer support is quick and helpful.
