Biggest opportunity: Swap “portfolio grid” for “wordpress portfolio”. “portfolio grid” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “wordpress portfolio” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 37.5K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,319 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.
This plugin shipped 9 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “portfolio grid” for “wordpress portfolio”. “portfolio grid” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “wordpress portfolio” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “portfolio grid”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I ran into an issue with the plugin, but the support I received was outstanding. My problem was resolved quickly and efficiently, and the Support Admin went the extra mile to make sure everything was working properly before closing the case. Excellent customer service!

The code is on the page with all the information, but it doesn’t display. It has been impossible for me. I’ve been spending hours tweaking PHP and CSS, and there’s no way. I give up on it. [It’s resolved now. The author has provided support. Thank you.] This topic was modified 2 years, 6 months ago by enrelu. Reason: Resolve

Besides the fact that the category filter effect works beautifully on my existing portfolio, I am surprised about the support.This one is fast and friendly. And they helped me with the css so that it now looks exactly how I want it.
