Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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
Modeled from public signals only; the real figure depends on pricing and conversion we cannot see. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.
How we estimate this
Assumptions
- Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
- Annual price per customer. $49–$129 a year, typical for WordPress plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
- Acquisition multiple. 2x–4x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, the typical range for a steady plugin.
- Install base. 10K–20K active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ devgirl3.3y ago
I am very impressed with this plugin, it worked right out the box and looks great and works on mobile too. I liked that it doesn’t have a ton of extras that slow down the process and my website, I just wanted a good lightbox that worked easily! Thank you!

It’s enabled by default and flat out works. Images now open is a small popup window and disappear with one click. Easy.

This plugin works for just displaying the image in a lightbox, but I’m looking for something that displays the attachment as a modal with title description etc

Most other plugins require you to use a shortcode. This one allows you to use normal HTML which is what I wanted 🙂

After installation on the site, nothing has changed. Does not support Woocommerce.
