Multi Image Metabox

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.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

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.

1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 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 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 · 100% 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 3 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 27% of the way through.

At the current install trend, crossing 8K+ in roughly 177 days.

   I am a graphic designer and I use this on my own site. I use it on some client sites. It really helps me get the job done. I wish the documentation was a bit clearer. I remember not getting a critical piece of information from the documentation when I started using this the first time; I did find the clue I needed in a comment or faq or some random spot that was contributed by a user.

   It’s really a good plugin. After install this one you can easily install an image gallery. To improve for me: Possibility to add link to images. Automatically add the Alt and Title to images. I tried and didn’t get the solution. Possibility to add a text for images slider.

   A great Plugin that just works and can be used how one needs it. However one improvement idea: Instead of having to specifiy a fixed number of images you may add a possiblity to add/remove image boxes dynamically so that clients can click something like a “PLUS” sign and change the number of images dynamically per post (type).
