Media Slider for Photos Images Videos

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 · 41% 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.

   The media slider layout is simple and elegant. Liked very much! Also, I encountered a technical glitch with my specific WP theme, so I posted a ticket in the WP.org forum. the developer responded very quickly with the tip to fix the issue. Very efficient support! Highly recommended!

   This plugin is great all on its own but, when I ran into issues trying to initially set it up, I reached out to Support for help. They not only offered to create a tutorial video specifically for my site, but also built a version for me and showed me was the issue on my end of things (it wasn’t anything on theirs)! Way above and beyond, and I highly appreciate it!

   I liked this slider from the moment I activated it. It was so easy to create a slider that worked out of the box. I liked this free version so much, I bought the premium.
