Biggest opportunity: Swap “portfolio gallery” and “project showcase” for “filterable gallery” and “responsive portfolio”. “portfolio gallery” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “filterable gallery” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “project showcase” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “responsive portfolio” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 69.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 1 release 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “portfolio gallery” and “project showcase” for “filterable gallery” and “responsive portfolio”. “portfolio gallery” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “filterable gallery” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “project showcase” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “responsive portfolio” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “project showcase”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
