Image Gallery Block

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. 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.

   Added it to WP, WP gave warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress. Sure enough, once I added your block to a page, I was unable to add images to it. Please fix and update! This topic was modified 11 months, 4 weeks ago by mazunga.

   This is a very easy to use, customizable gallery plugin which was perfect for my site. I’m glad I found it. Likewise, the customer service is amazing – I had a question/issue and @oaurunima was responsive and helped me fix it quickly. Would highly recommend this plugin!

   Thank you! I have tried many gallery plugins but I finally got fed up with getting something other than what was promised. Your plugin is simple, works well, and gives enough feature to fulfill my needs, and: without forcing me every now and then to go pro. I hope others will find and like this nice plugin too, so it hopefully gets updates.
