Biggest opportunity: Add “smugmug” to your wp.org tags. You rank #10 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 13.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| flickr your tag | #17 | #20 | down 3 |
| smugmug | #10 | #6 | up 1 |
| mobile your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| responsive your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| slideshow your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “smugmug” to your wp.org tags. You rank #10 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

Have multiple Flickr contributors with different API’s; however, this app only allows for one API to be set; although, does allow for multiple albums to be called from Flickr. Works good, is simple, but not meeting the current multiple photo contributor needs.

Excellent and easy to use plugin

This is a good, easy to implement slider for flickr sets. It would be GREAT if it had the option to display photo title and, perhaps, description.

I wanted a Flickr slideshow that worked on mobile devices and traditional browsers (for desktop / laptop). Everything else worked in one environment, but the the other. This works in both! So happy this solution is out there.
