Biggest opportunity: Swap “gallery”, “gallery plugin” and “free gallery” for “tiled gallery”, “nextgen gallery plugins” and “css3”. “gallery” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “tiled gallery” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gallery plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “nextgen gallery plugins” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “free gallery” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “css3” sits at #13 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 →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 1M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,321 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 11 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “gallery”, “gallery plugin” and “free gallery” for “tiled gallery”, “nextgen gallery plugins” and “css3”. “gallery” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “tiled gallery” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gallery plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “nextgen gallery plugins” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “free gallery” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “css3” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “free gallery”. Down 7 places since 2026-09-22, now #15. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “best gallery plugin”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Отличный плагин
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ webentwicklerin11mo ago
I happened to discover that I haven’t received any messages about updates to the Lite version since version 3.6.2 (the current version is 3.6.6) on a customers website. These are apparently being suppressed. Instead, there is a button now to unlock updates. For money. For the Lite version in this repository. – Huh…?

Great!

У меня в блоге были проблемы с отображением дефолтной галереи. Так же были проблемы были с плагином NextGen. Потому я искал альтернативу. Этот плагин полностью закрыл все мои проблемы: красивое отображение мозаикой; увеличение фотографий по клику и очень простая установка с помощью шорт-кодов.Спасибо автору за отличный плагин.

Thank you for developing this. It works great, and was easy to use! I needed a quick photo gallery for my showcase and this saved me time. I was able to customize it in minutes. See it in action here: mfloresdesign.com/work

The gallery display is great, but I want to disable any link when clicking on one of the thumbnails. If I disable the “lightbox” option the link is still there but just opens the full size image. I don’t want to present access to the full size image on the server. Is there a customisation I can add to achieve this? I left a support request but no response…
