Biggest opportunity: Swap “gallery”, “image gallery” and “video gallery” for “pixel”, “awesome gallery” and “customizable layouts”. “gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pixel” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “awesome gallery” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “video gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “customizable layouts” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.1%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 128K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,318 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 38 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ martin0829mo ago
Overall, this is a good plugin. I really like the idea behind it and the design of the photo gallery looks great. However, there is an issue with the mobile version – when an active link with a custom URL redirect is enabled, any accidental tap immediately triggers a redirect. This should ideally be hidden within meta content so users don’t accidentally click and get frustrated. Additionally, your website doesn’t seem to be working properly at the moment, and it’s not possible to preview the demo templates. In general, it’s a nice plugin with strong potential, but it needs some functional improvements, especially for mobile devices. It would be great if you added the option to use meta content with custom URLs – this could solve the problem of accidental clicks.

Their support team promptly resolved an issue I encountered with my gallery, addressing it in under two minutes. Despite using the free version, they provided exceptional assistance without hesitation. I will confidently continue using their plugin for future projects and plan to upgrade to the pro version without reservation.

Hi, I’ve been using the plugin for a few months now. I opted for the PRO version because it has so many great settings. But especially because it offers even more layouts and options. Just try the FREE version, it’s worth it. It works wonderfully with Elementor, since I only work with Elementor. There have been no crashes or errors in the entire time. Everything works smoothly. And the support is fantastic. I initially had problems activating the license, but thanks to the prompt support, the problem was quickly resolved. I’m not a WordPress expert; my main goal was to make my blog look more beautiful. And this plugin makes my blog look much nicer.
