LH Add Media From Url

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 77% 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.

   Thank you! This plugin works well. I wish there was a way to add more than one link at a time. Perhaps this already exists? I will look around to see.

   No support for bulk uploads, i.e. 5 at a time. Also, it takes you to the media page after successful upload. There should be a button “Add from URL” next to the factory button “Add New” at the top of this type of page. Add these features, and you’ll get my 5 stars. Great work.

   It gets the job done, but tighter integration with the media uploader would be nice, such as… 1. On the Edit Media page, add at the top (next to the “Add New” button) an “Add New from URL” button. 2. Get rid if the Add New from URL links altogether, and add an additional field for URL on the existing Add New / Upload New Media page.

   I love this plugin. It has saved me so much time. The ability to go directly to Media and add images from a URL is great. No convoluted menu navigation required. URL must have a .jpg extension though, as is stated in the plugin information. I would recommend this plugin; overall, it’s good.
