Biggest opportunity: “gallery”, “gallery plugin” and “gallery shortcode” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 40 of 18.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,321 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.25.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

Thank you for developing this plugin, it has some features like the ones a was looking for. On the other hand, when installation is finished it gives the following error : “The plugin generated 1 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.” What about that?, does it affect the correct behavior of my website? I haven’t seen any error so far, but who knows? If the author could tell me I’d really appreciate it.

The plugin is very good and easy to use! I use it for many time and in many of my websites… but now i have a problem when i trying to update it… I updated all my websites to 4.2.3 (the latest version of wordpress until today) and when i try to update the plugin, all my galleries diasappear from the pages of website and replace with code like that: [responsive_gallery gallery = 1] PS: In the “WordPress Updates” page and “Plugins” section, i see this message: ============================== Responsive Image Gallery You have version 1.1 installed. Update to 3.1. View version 3.1 details. Compatibility with WordPress 4.2.3: 100% (according to its author) ============================== So it is compatible with 4.2.3 version of wordpress or not?

This plugin would get Five Stars if there was a filter system on the image selection. I have over 1,000 images which makes it very difficult to use….

If you know a little CSS, this plugin does nothing you can’t do with the default gallery.
