Media Library Helper — Bulk edit image ALT, caption & description

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 · 96% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   I installed this plugin and found it incredibly useful for my needs. Unfortunately, after using it for a couple of days, I discovered a rather annoying bug that is easy to reproduce. I reported that bug in the support forum. 10 days later and there is no reply from the plugin author. Looking at some other posts in the support forum, it appears the plugin author does not reply in a timely manner, if at all. A couple days after reporting that bug, I discovered another possible bug with this plugin, which I also reported as a reply to my first bug report. I am not 100% sure that this plugin caused the second bug; however, there are no other plugins installed that have anything to do with manipulating the details related to the images.

   Some of my alt tags in my images are global copy/paste. This plugin saved me a ton of time vs having to enter each alt tag individually. Super easy to use. Works great. Can be disabled or deleted when not in use. Definitely recommend this over auto-generate alt tag solutions.
