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 · 100% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 30+ in roughly 825 days.

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.

   I was looking for a simple way to credit photos and video clips on certain pages on our church website. I wanted to do it without trying to learn how to modify my theme to allow me to insert the credits in a small footnote style at the bottom of certain pages. In my first use of this plugin, I created a worship video that included six short video clips within it. I placed the shortcode at the bottom of the page and put all six credits within one shortcode block on separate lines. The resulting display was exactly what I wanted. Thanks for meeting my need!
