PhotoPress

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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I tried this after reading Justin Tadlock’s review over at WP Tavern. On the plus side, it’s fast, with good options both in the main panel and within the block. Toggles are intuitive, and you can switch between the different gallery formats within the block itself (very useful). There’s a lot of potential here, but it still feels like a beta product, at least with my theme. One showstopper for me (and my theme) was the poor lightbox settings out of the box, with vertical images not fitting to screen, and horizontal images being displayed too small (strange, for such a photo-centric plugin). It might be usable with some themes, and for showcasing smaller images. Looking forward to trying this again in 6 months. EDIT Updated from 3 to 5 stars, as all the issues I experienced were down to my theme. This topic was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by Jan Dembowski.

   … except adding its own admin menu page for downloading the other components! If there is one or several of the other extension(s) needed to get the image meta data, then this should be clearly pointed out.
