Gallery PhotoBlocks

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 · 77% 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.

   Auch mit der kostenlosen Version dieses PlugIns kann man sehr leicht und schnell tolle Fotogalerien erstellen. Sie lassen sich dann über einen Shortcode in einen Beitrag oder Seite einfügen. Die Fotos lassen sich ziehen und in der Größe anpassen und mit der Maus einfach verschieben – einfach genial!

   Can we do something with this issue? Description The Gallery PhotoBlocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.2.8. This is due to missing nonce validation on the init() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete or copy photo galleries via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Gallery PhotoBlocks <= 1.2.8 – Cross-Site Request Forgery

   It is so easy to use with the freedom to size every picture as you wish. I also like the lightbar, so visitors can watch your pictures full size. Really great!
