Biggest opportunity: Swap “image”, “images” and “media” for “image upload”, “proofing” and “upload”. “image” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “image upload” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “images” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “proofing” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “media” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “upload” sits at #17 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 →3.5%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 84.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,319 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 5 releases 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.

This adds much needed functionality to bbPress. The author responded very quickly to an issue I had.

At first I couldn’t get it to work and got a “critical error” every time I tried. When support read that, they contacted me and asked for details and then fixed it with an update in one day! I’m impressed… This topic was modified 11 months, 3 weeks ago by jmarken.

Inline Image Upload for BBPress is a nifty tool that adds a needed feature to BBPress. Simple to use and effective.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Ricsca22.1y ago
This is the best plugin because it simply inserts images into threads so if you want to disable the plugin in the forum tomorrow the images will continue to be visible.

The last response was a year ago. If they do not want to support this plugin they should remove it.
