Media Library Downloader

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 · 94% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 5K+ in roughly 126 days.

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.

   Did exactly what it said it does, no complications. As someone else said, this is something that should be WP core, but thank goodness for this plugin.

   Simply superb. Very easy and practical way to download media files. This should have been an inbuilt feature by wordpress. Thanks for the plugin

   This plugin simply does its job. What it says. Big respect and admiration to the developer. In other similar plugins, such functionality is shoved into the premium version. Thanks, dear! You helped me out! And the low rating is from those who did not understand what the essence of this plugin is. It works and works perfectly!

   I love plugins that really do what they promise. However you could give better instructions and use the word “Download” which is more familiar to most people. Five stars though, because it is a very useful and well working plugin.

   Has zero instructions on how to use it, but I happened to figure it out by chance. In the default WordPress Media section, click “Bulk Select” and select the items you want. A new button will appear next to the option to permenantly delete, and the button will say “Télécharger” regardless of your language. Select all of the pieces of media you want and then click that button and it will automatically download all of the selected items to your computer. Worked for me in January 2025 with fully updated WordPress, at least.
