What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

It hides all images in a post and not only the feature image! I’ve a post with WooCommerce products widget and i got that all products displayed without image!

I used a whole lot of themes, but it doesn’t remove any of the featured images. I’m afraid this plugin has depricated. 🙁

Only plugin of its kind to work for me, yes my theme is still a pain in the back-side…Forces me to deactivate, delete your amazing plugin while I make a new post.

After looking for different ways of wrapping the text around the featured image in a post, I found this plugin. It hides the featured image from the posts, so you can then add a regular image and align it. It works perfectly! Thanks!
