Photo Gallery – Image, Video & Portfolio

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.

72 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 52 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 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 · 32% 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 7 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   What a great plugin. I tried all kind of gallary plugins. This is the only one whit a good full screen functionality on mobile. Service was excelent. Answer on question within a day. Works great with Elementor. All functions can be adjust easily. One thing to improve is to make the share function adjustable without CSS. For now the support will give you the code straight to set it your way. Great plugin.

   This plugin leaks of security, as you can not block the download of images. 1. hide the download button in popup does not work, even if you have clicked off for this in setup. And 2. If you right-click on an image, you can download the images. Otherwise, there is nothing to say about this plugin, it works as it should, apart from the inability to write more comprehensive text below the images. But you have the option to add text below the image in the popup, but something small and no option to adjust the text size! If you are looking for a simple photo gallery without taking into account the security of your own photos! is this plugin something for you. It’s easy, fast and looks good, based on the price of 15 dollars you can not demand too much. The plugin needs some adjustments, better security and a little more options for me to think that it is an excellent plugin. For my part, I found another plugin that had this security needs and with significantly more options.
