Post Featured Video

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 · 75% 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.

   Doesn’t really work with no other plugins. Couldn’t find any option where to add a video. Latest WordPress.

   I am so happy with this plugin. Within the first few minutes I had it configured and some of the settings I even left blank. Yes you have to create a featured image (I used a screenshot) so that the video can be placed properly, but I don’t mind. That way I can choose the image I want to display instead of using the default from Youtube or Vimeo. I use WP bakery page builder on my site and no issue at all.

   I went through all of the settings, and it definitely does not work with Elementor. I didn’t try with any other installations, so I’m not sure if it works with anything else. The plugin is also not updated often.

   Does what it says. I thought it won’t work because I have my own thumbnail function which is able to add aspect ratios and stuff but it just does.
