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.

    This plugin, upon activation, crashed my testing site. Had to go in and extricate it via FTP in order to get my testing site up and running again. Based on this, I am definitely not going to consider using this for production purposes.

    The plugin is not working. Whether it is because I’m using a later version of WordPress I don’t know. However the support has been very poor so I’ve been unable to ascertain what the issue is. Very disappointing as Piwigo is an excellent product and to be able to integrate it into WordPress would be a fabulous solution.

    I installed this plugin and short code does not work in my page editor. maybe I used too many plugins to cause this problem? like Page Builder by SiteOrigin also menu only work for right side bar with desktop version. When I switch to mobile version menu does not work. I used pure simple theme. I really really like piwigo and it’s great if this plugin can be work at WP. Thanks Jian Zhan

    I was looking for a PHP gallery that would share the images with NGG and, at the same time, has some working shortcode solution. Piwigo meets both my requirements perfectly, this plugin is the cherry on top.

    Hello, thanks a lot for this work. I’m new in wordpress, and I was wondering a good link beetween piwigo and WordPress. It’s doing exactly what I was expecting. Maybe, it could be nice to improve a few the selection of pictures when creating articles. Not easy to get it the first time the drag and drop at the good place. You could add checkboxes for example..? but once understood, it’s perfect! thanks again
