Image Wall

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 · 64% 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.

   I really hope Gustav continues to update and support this plugin. It truly is one of the best tools I have enabled on my family website, great way for people to explore the visual content on your site. Thank you Gustav!!

   Wordfence was considering this plugin abandoned. So I contacted Gustav to see if the plugin was still safe to use. He confirmed it was safe. He said there was no need for a plugin update but anyhow he was going to update the plugin’s version so that the abandon warning would go away. Gustav was awesome in his customer service. No more warnings from Wordfence. Image Wall has always worked like a charm!

   This plugin is simple and produces an attractive masonry display. HOWEVER, there is a huge built-in contradiction: the shortcode parameters “include_categories” “exclude_categories” “include_tags” “exclude_tags” are non-functioning. The author states that on the one hand the images MUST BE “attached to a page or a post.” BUT, “if the image is attached to a post, the post should not be filtered by a exclude/include tags/categories argument.” Then what’s the point? This plugin is of no use to me since the Wall will display every piture I have in every post, including the Featured Image. I can’t imagine a situation where someone would want that, unless your site is so small and only has a few pictures. Why include those shortcode parameters and describe them if they are useless?
