What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

    Very nice Plugin, easy to handle and in combination with WP Header Images a great improvemnet to develop wordpress pages. So you can individualize every page with a header slider, well done!

    Had high hopes for this plugin, but alas, just another nonworking plugin. Not sure from the screenshots if you’re supposed to use shortcode [gsp ids=”x,x,x”] or [gallery ids="x,x,x"], but neither one worked. Also in the “settings” for the slider there is an entirely different shortcode – that didn’t work either, and WP came up with an error message and would not even allow it to update the post.

    I tried my best to server the WordPress in return. I hope this plugin will be liked by the WordPress lovers. Thanks, Fahad
