Format Media Titles

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. 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Before I found this plugin, I used to copy details from image title to other form. Few images no problem, bunch of images now that’s the problem. With this plugin I can skip that filling form thing and save a lot of time.

   While this plugin creates a nice formatted title, it is worthless without installing yet another plugin, that ads the title tag into your posts and pages. WordPress has removed the title tag since version 3.5 (5 years ago). When I finally took the time to explain the issue to the developer, he added the feature to the PAID version, but not to the free version. He then offered me a 50% discount to buy my own ideas… If you don’t want to pay for having your image titles in your post, simply install the “Restore Image Title” plugin together with the free version and you’re all set.

   This is one of my go-to plugins for all my sites, particularly image-heavy ones. Saves so much time and very simple to use.

   This is no crap. ONLY ONE THAT REALLY WORKS I have tried every other plugin in the repository and this is the ONLY that I can find from testing 10 others that this works both Back-end AND Fron-end Image uploads. Only thing Id like to see an option is where the images are uploaded from Front-end within a listing that an option can have the images named as the TITLE of the listing. e.g. If my listing Front-end upload was called “2011 Holden Commodore For Sale” and then all the images uploaded are auto renamed to the same as “2011 Holden Commodore For Sale” Is it possible for that function to happen ?

   I had been meaning to search for a plugin like this for a while. I was glad to find that it exists while preparing an article with dozens of images. It definitely saved me some time re-typing the title in a pretty way. The option to copy to ALT is handy too. Thanks for this, David. This topic was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by Steven Gliebe.

   This plugin really is a must have on any WordPress website. If you save your images with decent file names, all the hard work of creating Alt text and Titles for your images is now taken care of automatically. don’t think twice, just install it.
