Biggest opportunity: “image”, “images” and “photo” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active

At least 500 of 53.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.39, well behind 6.8.

    The program does what it says. Allows you to put a watermark on your photos. It gives you decent options on size and position. However it doesn’t tell you that it’s permanent and there is no undo. Once your photo is watermarked, it’s done- there’s no turning back unless you have an original to return it back to normal. Unfortunately, I need a non-destructive solution. You probably do as well.

    I used this plugin and now I need to create images again on my website because after using this plugin all of my images are showing very big watermark and whenever I am trying to change settings then nothing is working. Now it will take so much time of mine to create and upload all images again.

    Apply watermark option in Media Library actions – не работает. Работает только при загрузке изображений. Исправьте баг, поставлю 5) .. Извините .. Все работает.. Просто нужно было обновить галерею (F5).. Жаль не сохраняет оригинальные изображения, а так все гуд This topic was modified 9 years, 6 months ago by Borodkoleg.

    The plugin has not been updated in a long time. Authors website is offline or gone. Works nice for automatic, but not so much for manual if you want the watermark in different locations. Requires you to “change settings” every time to want to move a watermark for a specific image. Controlling opacity ect… with that hellish slider is horrible for control and getting a precise number. Pretty sad to see so many decent plugins lost, forgotten and not improved. What a waste of space when searching for maintained up to date plugins.
