How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    I have been using Filter Gallery Pro for a few months now. Excellent product that does what it says on the tin! Found a bug in the software, contacted Faraz, who responded quickly and wrote a fix within a few hours.. All good now. Great service. Would highly recommend!

    We searched high and low for the perfect plugin for our gallery on our shareables page at Happy Democrats org! Frank’s Btw Filter-Gallery Pro version checked all of our required boxes. It included pagination, search functionality, sift/filter options, lightweight code, super easy navigation and setup, and most importantly, it was lightning fast! Thank you, Frank! Sincerely,Team Happy Democrats

    Initially, the basic functionality of my theme didn’t provide the necessary features to showcase my projects in a comfortable and minimalist manner. Consequently, I began searching for a solution to present my various projects effectively, and the Gallery Grid with toggle buttons emerged as the perfect choice. Despite trying several plugins, none integrated seamlessly with my theme until I came across this one. It effortlessly blended with my theme’s design, offering a visually appealing interface while keeping the code lightweight. Moreover, the support from the creators during the setup process was prompt and efficient, ensuring a smooth experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this plugin!
