Gutenberg Gallery Blocks Lightbox

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 · 76% 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.

   Great plugin, allowing me to quickly make a single or multiple images into a lightbox without having to download some ridiculously huge plugin that wants a monthly subscription or something nuts. Works well on mobile, and sure it does’nt have “swipe”, but it has left/right arrows which work perfect. It’s not meant to be bulky and fancy, just to provide the basic functionality that should already come with WordPress but does’nt. Thank you developer, you’re a great help!

   Giving three stars because only half work is done when developing this plugin. On mobile, arrows get out of center and in general look a bit weird Also it is impossible to swipe to the next picture. Considering that these days very big part of the users are using mobile phones, those are critical issues.

   Das Plugin macht genau, was der Titel verspricht. Bilder aus der Gutenberg Galerie öffnen sich in einem modalen Fenster, wie man es erwartet. Tiptop!
