Portfolio, Gallery, Product Catalog – Grid KIT Portfolio

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 · 68% 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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

19 of the last 25 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   Excellent plugin, I don’t have much experience in creating websites and photo galleries, but I mastered this plugin and made a photo gallery on my website without any problems. I bought the paid version because I don’t want to spend a long time searching and trying something else if this product suits me and works great. Before installing GridKit, I tried other plugins, about 5-6, but I didn’t like any of them. I liked the plugin, so I recommend it.

   I should have known not to bother after watching the promo video on the plugin page. (BusinessMEN? Come on.) But this looked like exactly what I needed and I figured the free version would at least allow me to truly test what the plugin could do. Nope. To start, there aren’t any directions inside the plugin screens. NONE. I don’t expect full documentation, just basic guidance. Didn’t get any. I wanted to create a gallery of product images that linked out to various sites. I did that, then added to a page to see how it looked. Friends, it was terrible. A joke. Not even usable. In order to add any styling or any options at all beyond the basics (which doesn’t even show the product description in a sensible way) I’d have to pay. Nope. I assume this is the same for the other gallery types. I uninstalled immediately and came here to post this review. That’s how incensed I was about this. There is no way that a plugin creator who hampers their free version in this manner is competent enough to create something worth paying for. I suggest you save your money.

   This is the best layout gallery portfolio plugin I have ever purchased. The organization of the filtered photo galleries is excellent and just what I needed. Excellent customer service too. It is well worth the price. Thank you for making an excellent helpful plugin.

   I have been looking for a gallery module that I can use for a long time. I found this here. But I wasted my time. The free version is worthless. It’s less than zero.And the paid one has a lot of bad reviews. Especially the support. And it’s too expensive to buy without a real trial under these conditions.So it’s a waste of time to bother with it.

   Wow, this plugin is seriously amazing! I’ve been using it in so many different ways, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer. The best part? You can totally tweak the CSS to make it do exactly what you want. It’s been a total lifesaver for me on more than half a dozen websites, and guess what? I’m still discovering new tricks it can pull off. Recently, I had this gallery thing going on, and I wanted to make sure the images in the last row were perfectly centered. Lo and behold, this plugin had me covered! It was a breeze to customize and made my gallery look oh-so-professional. I just want to give a massive shoutout to the makers of this plugin. You guys rock! Seriously, you’ve made my website-building experience so much better. This plugin’s versatility and the ability to play around with the CSS have made it an absolute essential for me. If you’re on the lookout for a plugin that does it all and lets you get creative with the design, trust me, this is the one. It’s a total game-changer, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Huge thanks to the amazing team behind this plugin. You’ve made my day!

   I started with the free version of GridKIT and was blown away by its capabilities. So, I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to the Pro version for those essential extra features. Let me tell you, it was a game-changer! The plugin worked like a charm, meeting all my requirements without a single glitch. It seamlessly integrated into my website, delivering precisely what I needed. But what truly impressed me was the outstanding support from the developer. They responded promptly to my queries and went above and beyond to assist me. GridKIT has become an integral part of my website, and I wouldn’t dream of going back. If you’re considering an upgrade, I highly recommend it. Hats off to the developer for creating such a phenomenal plugin and providing stellar support. Many thanks for a seamless experience!
