Biggest opportunity: “gallery” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 7.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,317 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.7.41, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| gallery your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| multiple galeries your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| multiple images your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| multiple metaboxes your tag | Not checked yet | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ meacott12.8y ago
I wanted a convenient way to add images to posts without having to manually insert them in the copy, just like a Woo commerce site would display an image gallery for each product. Plugin as easy to use and works great. Improvements would be to control alignment (left, center, right of column) of gallery on the post; add a frame or space around images. I changed the name of a gallery type and instead of updating its name, this deleted the galleries I’d added in posts that had the previous name. But these are minor issues against the conveniences of the plugin, so I give it 4 stars.

Would be nice to specify the size for the images that are output, nice to be able to turn captions on or off by default and nice to suppress the name of the area that is being output

This plugin works properly on my WordPress 3.8, but need the developer to add a good lightbox on it.
