MMWW

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 · 86% 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.

   In many ways, MMWW is the greatest plugin ever written, smoothly moving jpeg metadata into WordPress fields. I use all WordPress fields on my soccer site. MMWW is the missing link between EXIF, IPTC and WordPress MediaLibrary. It’s exactly the sort of technology which should be built into the core of WordPress, but since it’s not – a huge thanks to Oliver Jones. Amazingly resilient coding. Very little has been changed in the last eight years in MMWW yet still MMWW runs reliably.

   This a smart piece of work with potential and its own Github. I have found so many uses for the data that piggy-backs in on photos, and this interface between WordPress and the image meta-verse is the only phone call you need to make.

   It was an excellent plugin. But with the latest update it got broken – images are uploaded under the date of upload rather than date of creation (despite the settings). Tags and copyright line are now uploaded into the “upper” description area rather than the “bottom” one. PS: By the look of it this plugin is unfortunately an abandonware now. It’s a pity since there is no alternative.

   This has added metadata perfectly as captions for my library images. When I asked if it would be possible to add code for the image (attachment) id to appear in the caption he included that in the latest upgrade. A great plugin… thanks Ollie

   This plugin does exactly what I need. Works great, very stable. No need any extra interaction or additional settings. Everything is automatic.

   I have not been able to find anything until MMWW 1.0.2 that correctly retrieved metadata from PDFs imported to the WordPress Media Library. Simple, easy to understand, and works. Thanks, Ollie!
