F4 Media Taxonomies

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 · 98% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   It took me awhile to find this but so glad I did. I was just about to start coding it myself. It uses the *built-in* categories!!! No extra clutter, neat, simple, just waht I was looking for.

   Genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Ist schon extrem zeitsparend, wenn man nicht jedes Bild einzeln editieren muss, nur um eine Kategorie oder ein Schlagwort zu ergänzen. Damit füllt man ganz einfach die Lücken in den Daten, ohne vor dem Zeitaufwand zu kapitulieren. Vielen Dank.

   A simple plugin that works nicely. It’s a good alternative (maybe better) to custom directories for media files in WP.

   thank you for building that functionality in a small and efficient plugin, without all those “fancy” stuff that all the others in that field offer. great for developers 🙂
