NextGEN Gallery Image Chooser

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

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.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I have a gallery that is mostly about events/things we’ve done. I want to blog about them and insert a few images here and there directly into the text, which you would normally do by INSERT IMAGE from the Media Library, which would also let you select multiples. NGG doesn’t seem to have an option to do that EXCEPT as a gallery, but then I wouldn’t be able to write paragraphs of text between them. I’d like to be able to add the full gallery at the bottom of the post, but throughout, I want 3-5 images just inserted. In NGG and even Pro version, you can’t tag and insert multiple images as just images at once, you have to select it multiple times. This plugin does it perfeclty, AND degrades gracefully — if you delete the plugin later, your inserts still work. This topic was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by PolyWogg.

   umertin, Your plugin is good. I like NGG very much, but I use only Single-Pic because I need to describe what is going on inside the pictures in my blog. Thus I need a gallery with display picture one by one. NGG is suitable for me at that stage. And the next problem to me is I need to type the Codes display my pictures one by one to insert Every pictures into the blog. Umertin’s plugin simply help me for that. I can select the pictures in a web-2.0 user friendly interface and insert them into my blog by one click (or no more than several clicks). I get what I see when I am writing the blogs and do not need to care so much about the user codes in html language. Umertin did the job for me. I just create this account to write thanks to Umertin. Thank you. Umertin, I wish you every success in your career, especially if you are engaged in programme and solution developing. I hope more people will use this plugin : “NextGEN Gallery Image Chooser” and I SURE will wrote more blogs with this plugin.
