Biggest opportunity: “product gallery”, “woocommerce product carousel” and “woocommerce product grid” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →1.0%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 31.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,324 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 7 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.

This plugin is only advertisement of other paid plugins There is no option to create short code as shown in video. Then what to do with this plugin ?

Also, support is good. I had some style issues and they solved in few days.

Very spammy in every area possible! Help video is for the paid version, but does not say so either on the help page nor in the video nor video title. I saw that it said “pro” in the folder name chosen during the installation in the video. I have screenshots to prove it. Other reviews are probably shills, one says they give best support, but my support ticket is the only one I see. I don’t know if they can be deleted. Please see how he called me DUMB and downplayed his egregious spam in his reply in the support ticket, where I contacted before putting this review online. I have screenshots of the plugin screens and the insult in support in case it somehow gets deleted. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/turn-off-spam/

This is certainly the best plugin for sliding products, but this is not at all.. Samdani, the developer, is very gently and helped me to customize as well the plugin.. He did every thing i ask him for customizing my sliders.. SUPPORT IS BEST EVER! BUY THE BEST PRODUCT SLIDER for WOOCOMMERCE

Nice & smooth

I am using the free plugin currently, it goes way beyond other free product sliders I have tried. It is fantastic when you find plugin developers that really offer something worth having and support their product. The support for this plugin in my experience is fantastic. I have no problem rating as 5 stars and giving it thumbs up.
