Video & Photo Gallery for Ultimate Member

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

18 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 11 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

Directory rank

Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

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 · 89% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 20 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   There’s no Gallery tab and no gallery field. It doesn’t work at all. This topic was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by cannon303.

   The plugin is very easy to use and works straight out of the box, I just wish there’s an options for user to directly upload mp4 videos instead of embedding YouTube. If there’s an option to upload mp4 I would pay for it.

   Feeling a little ripped off here to be honest. I paid for this plugin based on what it was advertised to do. Found that it does NONE of what they claimed and it’s extremely frustrating to get it working properly. Nightmare plugin! Got NO support

   It seems to work exactly as I planned to use it on the demo, however, the plugin never shows the gallery icon/tab in UM. So therefore, users can’t actually upload or create albums with this plugin. A damn shame. Buyer beware.

   I tried the free version and was pretty happy with it. So I bought the pro version and have to say that the plugin does exactly what it is supposed to do: all features are exactly as described and work smoothly. I also had little difficulty with the integration of shortpixel AI. After the purchase, I also contacted the manufacturer with a few comments and got an answer just a few minutes later – even though I asked on a saturday! In short: I can only recommend Gallery for Ultimate Member. In terms of layout, maybe a few things could be improved. But I have the impression that the manufacturer takes his job very seriously and is constantly developing the plugin. As far as I can tell so far, he is also open to customer inquiries. So give this plugin a try – I think it’s well worth it. This topic was modified 6 years ago by totheo.

   OK and to be clear here I have the Pro version and due to the reviews I wanted to add my review which is far more positive than the other reviews here. It is far better than the 1 and 2 star reviews on here. I have been using the Pro version for a while and it works for me after I am able to style how it displays on the front end that suits. The fact I can shows how flexible the front end view can be. It is not most pretty styles to start with but it can look a heck of a lot different when you add your own styling. The modal view is plain awful as one example, even in the pro version so I have completely redesigned that part of it. It would be better with more style options built in, such as masonry view, aspect ration thumbs, alternative modal layouts etc. Having the option for only one album is good as I did not want users to have multiple albums. Support has been fine with a reply usually within a day (two at most), so I can’t complain about that ;). I have also commissioned a custom plugin for my own needs which was well communicated and the end result perfect. The use for members has been simple to use and understand. So to sum up it works, it can be pretty and should be by default. Users do not complain and for the time being it works. 4 stars instead of 5 for what I have mentioned above. It is worth more than the 1 or 2 star reviews on here. Try it.

   The plugins of this author are of poor quality, causing more problems than they have any useful use. With every update you have to be afraid that many new bugs will be installed. If you want to save your money and your nerves should look for alternatives! I had bought all the plugins and therefore can not advise anyone to spend their time here. You have to wait months for the promised bug fixes or they are completely ignored. This topic was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by andreasbln.
