Biggest opportunity: Swap “image gallery”, “portfolio” and “portfolio gallery” for “best portfolio”, “responsive portfolio” and “free portfolio”. “image gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “best portfolio” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “portfolio” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “responsive portfolio” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “portfolio gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “free portfolio” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.9%

of downloads still active

At least 200 of 10.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,319 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 3 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.

    I installed the free theme, which works fine. The problem is that I purchased (and payed!) for the upgrade – 12 days ago today! I then received an email with a link that should have sent me to a webadress with a download possibility. However, it was a link to a png file with the logo with 4 squares that you see on the plugin site. I tried to make the seller send me a new link, but only got the message that they had to contact the original developer to send it to them. I have contacted them several times, but still haven´t got a link that works!! It can´t be that difficult to email me with a proper link to the upgrade.

    <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>I just need to put a follow up to this review as I just finished working with AYS’ amazing support team for a minor issue one of their plugins had. They were very quick to respond and even quicker to get a solution to the problem. Within a day I had an updated plugin to resolve my problem. I 100% recommend this team’s plugins as you don’t only get a good product, but you get top class support to go with it!</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>Original Review Below<br><br></p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>I am more than impressed with the simplicity of this plugin yet now great it truly works! I wanted a simple pop out portfolio design and this more than delivered. It has options to remove project title and text so you can just have the images with the pop outs if you wish as well.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>Great job keep it up!!</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by mrstruble.
