MediaPress

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.

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.

   This is a very good plug-in, but I encountered a bug. When uploading files on a computer, I can press and hold ctrl/command to select multiple photos for uploading at one time, but when I use it on a mobile phone, I can only select one I can’t select multiple photos directly at one time. I hope it can be improved as soon as possible.

   I have removed rtMedia from the theme as it was in conflict with many plugin and scripts and I have installed this own. It works perfectly and uploading a video it’s possible to count the views (and many other options). Said that, what is necessary to know about BuddyDev is their TOP EXCELLENT SUPPORT for customer that buy the yearly support included in the full serie of plugin (it’s impossible to imagine to build a Buddypress social network without at least 10 of their plugin). I STRONGLY recommend to use this plugin and the excellent support they provide to any Buddypress website developer.

   The best gallery plugin! Would love to have more bbPress / BuddyPress related option, though, especially being able to let members directly upload images inside topics. This topic was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by OreilleMalade.

   I wouldn’t mind a more compact or more configurable look. But the functionality is very good and not hard to set up. I like it!
