Biggest opportunity: Swap “gallery”, “portfolio gallery” and “portfolio” for “wordpress portfolio plugin”, “wordpress portfolio” and “free portfolio”. “gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress portfolio plugin” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “portfolio gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress portfolio” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “portfolio” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “free portfolio” sits at #16 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 →2.1%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 14.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,317 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 1 release 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 “gallery”, “portfolio gallery” and “portfolio” for “wordpress portfolio plugin”, “wordpress portfolio” and “free portfolio”. “gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress portfolio plugin” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “portfolio gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress portfolio” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “portfolio” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “free portfolio” sits at #16 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 “filterable portfolio”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Hi, This plugin WordPress fine for me but please update that plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ joshvonstaudach3.6y ago
It’s a plugin for a wordpress theme I’ve chosen and it works fine for me, does all the layout functions I need and design options are broad. Hopefully it will be updated along with the theme and other developments.

The gallery is crookedly displayed. You can not assign a link to the photo. Categories are not created, but then after a reboot are displayed. The plugin idea is good, but the plugin is raw, not yet completed.

As can be seen in the support section, this plugin breaks Elementor and throws PHP errors. Developer has been informed but no response.
