Biggest opportunity: Swap “gallery block” and “gutenberg” for “masonry” and “masonry image gallery”. “gallery block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “masonry” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “masonry image gallery” sits at #6 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 →7.5%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 13.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,580 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “gallery block” and “gutenberg” for “masonry” and “masonry image gallery”. “gallery block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “masonry” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “masonry image gallery” sits at #6 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 “masonry gallery”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Exactly what I was looking for – simple WP masonry gallery block.

Installed in more than 20 sites. Is slim and fast. This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by Multimedia Efectiva.

Really confusing layout- you have your WordPress order which is usually left to right and in ROWS. For some reason this plugin loads the masonry in columns so re-ordering is a nightmare. Taking me literal hours to re-order. Besides that loading is good but this problem makes the plugin virtually unusable IMO. Support also non-existant, check the support no replies for 5 months.
