Gallery for Social Photo

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

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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

   I tried the free version of this plugin which is limited to the installation only, none of the settings are manageable in the free version. That is quite a showstopper. All seems to focus on forcing you to buy the professional edition. I don’t mind that, but as a seasoned WordPress developer and user I’ve seen too many plugins that did beautiful things with loads of presets, but in the end didn’t fit. That is why I would like to see that a few settings could be modified in a free version of this plugin. Not everyone is buying this plugin but still even when used on freeloader sites it should be seen as a compliment for the development team. When no one makes use of your product, nobody is talking about it either. You can add widgets by adding shortcodes into a text widget. You create feeds that receive a short code that can be copied into the text widget. I would give this plugin more stars if it at least not everything was part of the pro-version. In relation with other plugins, the free version gives you a taste of what it could do. For the whole potential you have to put your trust on the paid version. The masked options at least show that a lot of settings are available, so maybe this could be the plugin you are looking for. This topic was modified 6 years ago by johanvandemerwe.

   It isn’t a free plugin. According to the plugin description by the author , it states “You can fetch images or video specifically from your account and other user accounts or even only from hashtags. This plugin will automatically fill your site with linked thumbnails for your Instagram pictures. You can easily change this behavior using the standard options provided. The only thing you will need to get going is a valid Instagram token ID and you can generate the token from settings page with just one click.” Once you download the plugin , get your token etc , turns out to use the plugin, everything is in pro version. Why not just state that all functions are available in pro version in your description instead of tricking people. Absoloute rip off . Avoid this plugin.
