ModuloBox – NextGen Lightbox

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 9 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

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 · 66% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2.2 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Amazing plugin, worth every penny. It just works out of the box, eg. with NextGen galleries.

   I have no idea why this plugin has just a few positive reviews. I have tested about a dozen lightbox plugins and this is by far the best one in terms of features and customizations. Here are a few of the positives: – the plugin properly figures out which images are bundled together in a gallery, unlike some other plugins which let you cycle through all images on the page – the plugin allows zooming, sharing, downloading images, etc – the plugin can replace the WP gallery with its own justified gallery – it is compatible with all kinds of plugins, such as WP GridBuilder, The Grid, etc. It is possible that some of the listed features above are available only in the premium version, but its price is just $20 on CodeCanyon, so it is worth buying it. The only issue I currently have is that unlike other plugins, images linked to their media files pop up in a lightbox with a resolution identical to the resolution they are set on the page, not the full resolution they exist in the library. Not sure if this is an issue on my website only or intended functionality which unfortunately cannot be changed.

   Hi there, If you’re looking for a good and fresh lightbox, ModuloBox is a good option. Even the free version has a lot of feature, and as I can see, the paid version has a lot more (much more!). However, I’m giving only two stars becase it seems that there isn’t any support for the free version available here. With the limitations of the free version, technical support is really needed. I know this is the free version, but this plugin isn’t provided by a person which works on it during her/his spare time. This plugin was developed by a company named Themeone, and as it looks, without time to answers simple questions. So, the plugin has been left on its on look. Let’s see if technical support reacts to this review. Regards, AJ This topic was modified 8 years, 4 months ago by Alvin.
