jQuery Masonry Image Gallery

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 · 98% 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.

   7 years old and works like a charm. Very simple. No complicated settings. No extra Gallery menu. It just adds the masonry effect on existing standard WP galleries. Exactly what I was looking for.

   Works as expected and turns the not so good looking fixed-height WordPress gallery into a more elegant one. It is very useful plugin because it works with the native WordPress gallery and the lightbox installed by the user or that comes with a theme. Many other solutions for masonry gallery include their own lightbox and gallery which may complicate things. I advice the developer to update the submission because the 2 years update notice may avert users to install it.

   Not much more to add. A great replacement for Jetpack galleries.

   I needed such a great plugin like this to allow my customer to create mansonry gallery by herself. Job is done thanks to you ! Works very well with my Boostrap custom theme. Just remember to Uncheck :”DO NOT allow jMIG to layout your gallery columns.” in the plugin Settings. Thanks a lot ! This topic was modified 9 years ago by Tibow.

   I love this plugin! It gives your picture galleries a beautiful and responsive masonry layout. I recommend it for websites with one or more picture galleries.

   I’m really new to WordPress, but after 2-3 days of trying to find a masonry gallery style for the default WordPress media gallery, I finally found it! 😮 This plugin is simple but it works perfectly. It allows me to have my images the size that I want them, arranged in “masonry”, and it works with Lightbox. I am so glad that I found this plugin and that it is free, because I was starting to wonder if it was even possible to get the effect I want for free (without having to ‘upgrade to pro’ like all the other plugins want you to do). I really appreciate whoever made this plugin — you did a great job! Thanks for keeping it simple 🙂 Maybe one day if I become rich and famous from my website (lol, right..) I can donate some money.
