Media Library Organizer – Folders, File Manager & Media Categories

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 · 64% 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 30K+ in roughly 320 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Was mir so gut an diesem Plugin gefällt – meine Top 3 Erstellt virtuelle Ordner d.h. die Links bleiben bestehen auch wenn die Ordnerstruktur verändert wird. In der kostenlosen Version (Freemium) können beliebig viele Ordner UND auch Unterordner erstellt werden. Ordnerstruktur steht auch bei Medienauswahl in Beiträgen, Seiten und Einstellungen (Website-Icon) über eine Dropdown-Liste zur Verfügung. Und das ebenfalls in der Freemium Version.
