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 · 73% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I installed the plugin to use embedded mode however when I go to search for images I get no results, I even tried updating WordPress to the latest version 5.8.2

   We had high hopes for this plugin but sadly it seems unmaintained and riddled with bugs. Due to some invalid code, we couldn’t even properly authenticate without editing the plugin code (pro-tip: textarea is not a self-closing tag). Then once authenticated, the plugin wouldn’t download images — it just froze after pressing the button. It would be great to see Getty reinvest in this plugin and modernize it. Until they do, you’re on your own.

   I want to add multiple Getty images to a slider and display in my website. But this plugin doesn’t have that feature.

   Not only did the plug-in not work (nothing happened when clicking Getty next to Media), but it also stopped Media from working. I had to delete the app before I could get to Media to select any of my own images. I did manage to insert the Getty image I wanted by manually inserting the embed code into the post text view.

   We use the Getty Embeds but recently they have stopped aligning. I wondered if this was because we were long overdue a WordPress and plugin update – but even after that, they will not align at all. As a result we have to resort to full or 75% images which have no alignment and so looks a little bland with a lot of whitespace now. This has been an issue for a while now.

   … on Mac with Firefox, Safari, Chrome. (On Safarai you cannot even log in to your getty account.) When logged-in with getty images account, chosen image can not be posted. As not logged in user posted images will have the getty sign on it plus “embed by getty”. This little piece of software seems to be hacked together quick&dirty. Deinstalled.
