Biggest opportunity: Swap “file manager” and “media folders” for “library folders” and “folder”. “file manager” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “library folders” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “media folders” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “folder” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.4%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 41K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,318 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| media organizer your tag | #8 | #13 | down 1 |
| library folders | #10 | #15 | down 1 |
| media library folder your tag | #11 | #18 | down 2 |
| media library folders your tag | #13 | #17 | down 3 |

| media library organizer | #8 | #13 | 0 |
| folder | #16 | #20 | 0 |

21 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 9 listed. 12 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “file manager” and “media folders” for “library folders” and “folder”. “file manager” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “library folders” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “media folders” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “folder” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “media library folder”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “media library folders”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “1K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 4 months ago and the previous band took 5.9 years to cross, so the real count is still just under 2K.

i glad to use this plugin , clean and free . thanks

Although the plugin does pretty much exactly what it says (it’s basically just for ORGANIZING and FILTERING media). Even though not written directly, I was indirectly (the stuff implied between the lines) advertised there would be a simple gallery insertion by inserting something like the folder shortcode which there is not. That is why I’m not giving full 5, because I believe the very purpose of such plugin is to be able to put it somewhere in the end. I was able to program it – the plugin is very readable and lightly written, but I can’t show you how, because moderators here are funky sometimes 🙂

This looks like a decent plugin, though I haven’t tried it. I’m only reaching out here, so I can ask developer to STOP SENDING SPAM via contact forms. Thanks 🙂

I have several thousand images in my library. Mediamagic implements a hierarchical file structure that greatly simplifies the task of finding a given image. On thing I particularly like is that images is assigned category names identical to the names of files where they reside.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Martin Sauter6.7y ago
There are several plug-ins whith a similar approach, but so far I like this one best. It’s a simple, clean way to organize your media library. On the other hand, there are some glitches: If you upload multiple files at once, sometimes not all of them appear in the media library. And the counters (number of files per folder) are far off sometimes. This topic was modified 6 years, 5 months ago by Martin Sauter.
