Portfolio Filter Gallery – Photo Gallery

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 · 23% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I love in this exceptional plugin following: Their support help:– Fast, loving, compassionate and respectful. All honor!– They love feedback;– And they have giganticaly open minds in business new era, Aquarius (technology), by adding suggestions they feel are good. Which is awsome! Wau. I love their Image defailt size-ratio:– The images shapes on the website into the perfect size;– The perfect size is seen elegant and clear.– Perfect for me because I don-t know how to set the correct visual ratio. Simplistic Settings I can define:– There is no complicated setting;– Their Tabs beneath the images are clear, with helpful guidance beneath each button;– All I do is define OFF or ON – So clear.– I don-t need to go to varius different settings. They have one for galery and one for filtering;– There is no dividing in Group galeries through one channel of setting but they did the opposite: For each galary is separated setting that is clear. If I would have group galeries I could just use plugin Page Builder and create dividing in desired way. It is very simplistic approach yet very proffesional! It is not too little, it is just right and NOT TOO MUCH which could create confusion. Simplistic Filtering– Could be any more easy to add filters with this plugin? And it is so simplistic to add them to images which I can mark all of my desired images at the same time, go to filter defining and instantly I have all desired images in filter I want.– Counting of images for each filter is in setting. I would not need to count and write how many images I have in each filter;– Setting is available for: size, color, dots, counting. So easy to understand what I need to do.They are progressive, active in updates which I can relax, knowing that this plugin will last forever and help me make money through my drawing designs donation exchanges ONE DAY. I highly recommend.I wish you big millionaire success “Portfolio Filter Gallery – Photo Gallery.”Suzana Trnovšek This topic was modified 1 week, 5 days ago by Suzana.

   As a photographer I needed a more clean and modern look for a justified layout. I asked for support and was quite surprised that they were willing to work with me on it. Finally we got the results that I think we all can benefit now. Thank you.

   I have been using this plugin (premium version) for four years now, and it has consistently performed very well. The support is excellent, and the plugin continues to be actively developed and improved.

   The photo gallery is perfect for a portfolio, and support was quick to respond when I had an issue (which wasn’t even caused by the plugin, but by the theme my website used).

   Amazing photo gallery! This is the one to get! It’s got beautiful styling, current, modern, and classic. It has all the key features, including filtering for galleries with many photos. It’s flexible, intuitive, easy to use, has many options, and prompt support. The developers are responsive to feature requests and customization requests also.

   This is exactly what I was looking for on my portfolio site. Easy to use while still offering plenty of customization options for look and feel. Really like the way filters work and how I can tag entries as multiple categories, even setting one category to load by default which I use to show “Featured” entries first. While the free version is excellent on its own, I ended up purchasing the premium version because I wanted to use a couple of the extra customization features there and was pleased with the base functionality. And while I didn’t expect to ever use the premium support, I did end up contacting the team for an issue my site was having on certain devices. Support responded and identified the issue immediately, which ended up being related to another plugin, not this one. So good experience on that front, too!

   Very good solution for filtering posts and pages. One good idea is to somehow copy the created shortcode in the plugin and automatically adjust the settings in order to be able to slightly modify existing filters.

   Just what I needed. Defining the filters and allocating pictures to each filter is very straightforward. A good range of design options, even in the free version. My limited experience of customer service has been very positive. Nice work.
