Biggest opportunity: Add “cast” to your wp.org tags. You rank #18 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active

At least 300 of 19.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,318 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.

    Hi! How can I remove the voting icon from other galleries? I need one gallery with voting, not all on the site pages.

    Hello guys, Where do I type in the code [gallery]. I downloaded the plugin, and it is activated, but there is still no voting option. Thanks for the help.

    This is a super plugin. We ran a photo competition and once all the entries were in we wanted the public to vote on the best photo. The best photo voted by the public receive a great prize. The support from the Team is excellent and I’m giving 5 stars for the support and the plugin which is so easy to install and have a gallery with a very simple functional voting system. Thanks guys!

    Very sipmle and useful plugin, but in our site we need to choose galleries for voting (we do not need to add “vote” buttons to every gallery). I had to add a class to the <p> tag in the plugin template, and add a CSS rule (visibility:hidden or display:none) on the all pages where the gallesies should be without VOTE buttons. Also, I think the plugin needs an option to reset (delete) the voted IP addresses from database. Now you can delete the outdated IP records manually via PhpMyAdmin. Also, it will be very useful to add another option: the different (separate) vote counting (from the same IP) for the different galleries. And the separate IP removing.

    I changed from longtime usage of NextGEN Gallery and consider Tribulant Gallery as a superior solution for most requirements. I had to try some configuration and coding but got my different galleries exactly as functional as I want.
