Jetpack VideoPress

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

84 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 63 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.

Crossed into this band 20 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   VideoPress ha problemi. Ho segnalato il problema a Jetpack ma non mi hanno nemmeno dato risposta. VideoPress non salva le configurazioni che inserisco ad ogni video, ne le impostazioni, titolo, flag ecc…. Ho fatto cancella cache ma nulla. Ho provato inoltre a sconnettere Jetpack, mi dice sconnesso, poi faccio aggiorna pagina ma in realtà non si scollega e resta connesso. Non funziona nulla. VideoPress is having problems. I reported the problem to Jetpack but they haven’t even responded. VideoPress doesn’t save the settings I add to each video, nor the settings, title, flags, etc. I cleared the cache but nothing. I also tried disconnecting Jetpack, it says disconnected, then I refresh the page but it doesn’t actually disconnect and stays connected. Nothing works.

   The plugin does what it says on the tin. It is a great way to embed videos into your WordPress website using the native ‘media upload’ tab. But trying to cancel… best of luck with that! You’ll navigate through a complex web of going from your WordPress.org site to your WordPress.com account with buttons that link to random places and a UX that generally makes it difficult to cancel your paid subscription. The reason I cancelled also is because I host a number of videos on different domains for me/clients and Jetpack only allows 1x subscription per domain, which then gets expensive on multiple sites. If they allowed you to host videos from one paid subscription for several different WP installs, I would have probably stayed. This topic was modified 2 months ago by kannyman.

   But the customer service people pitched in and made it work. They were patient and helpful.

   Doesn’t work as advertised although it’s a good concept. I rating it low for multiple reasons: Overall, it’s buggy. Control list didn’t display as advertised. On google chrome, no controls were displayed. It wouldn’t allow me use either cover page or video block Deactivate button in the module didn’t work, so it’s hard to remove Lack of JetPack support in general probably because of all the bugs they’re dealing with. I’m sure with all the support, it’ll be a future great product. But for now, I’m staying away from it.
