Photo Gallery by Ays – Responsive Image Gallery

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 · 34% 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.

   I was looking for a gallery for a customer who has very little knowledge of WordPress. I found exactly what I was looking for in Photo Gallery. The shortcodes are predefined in the page and the customer only needs to change the images and descriptions. It’s super easy to use. The display looks great and works well.We needed support to make the gallery accessible to editors (non-administrators) as well. The support team responded very quickly and offered me a perfect solution. Thank you for that.A clear recommendation.

   I was a user of the free version for a long time, when a problem arose, the support was immediately on the spot, even if I had not paid anything. The free version was sufficient for my purposes – but for this support I was ready to buy the full version – and it has been confirmed, the small problems I had during the conversion were immediately and fully fixed.Many thanks to the support team, I am thrilled, this is how support should be.
