Image Credits

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   A nice simple plugin, something like this should be in WordPress core. Props to the developer.

   This is a great plugin for those of us who regularly use Creative Commons licensed images in our posts. Thanks!

   I could get this plugin working, but only with do_shortcode and excluding some code (see support tab). Without any tweaks this plugin is useless, therefore I can only give a rating of 2 stars. Still I really like this plugin much and hope it will be fixed for future versions.

   I made it so of course I’m going to give it 5 stars. But I do think the code is pretty good, as I’ve seen a couple guides on how to create image credit fields but they were flawed in some areas. I actually copied some of the WordPress core code to make sure the fields would save properly, so it’s up to snuff. If you need to save where you get your images from so you can give proper attribution, this is the plugin for you!
