Fix Image Rotation

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 · 97% 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.

   Honestly for any free plugin to work 90% of the time out of the box is enough for me. No, it’s not perfect but it’s free. I have seen paid plugins with more issues. A big thanks to the developer for saving me a headache. 5 stars from me.

   I was in the midst of uploading 30 pictures when I remembered how WordPress doesn’t rotate the pictures for me. I found this plugin, activated it in a different browser window, and it instantly began to work on the pictures that were uploading. Fantastic!

   Installed plugin on WP 5.2.3 with minimal other plugins. Images are not correctly reoriented after upload from an iPhone. The plugin worked for the first upload, then stopped working. I’m back to manually editing the orientation of the images in the Media editor. This topic was modified 6 years, 9 months ago by boardinggroupone.
