RPS Image Gallery

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 84% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 800.

   Hi, I appreciate the complexities of using different Plugins together, sometimes they conflict. However currently your latest version is not even showing in the settings menu. This is a great plugin, love to donate but really need the updates to work when we update.

   This is a very nice addition to the WP gallery, and makes the gallery all it needs to be for us, plus the plugin author is great in responding..

   I tried a dozen of different gallery plugins. Only a few including RPS Image Gallery use native WordPress media and gallery administration which means to me more stable application and better compatibility with other plugins. But I think RPS Image Gallery works the best! I also like how this plugin resizes the images on the fly to create the thumbnails – you don’t need to rebuild your image library if you thumbnail sizing requirements change. I love the gallery transition, especially fb_transition_in/out=”elastic”. What I am missing so far is thumbnails helpers, but I expect this to come when Fancybox-2 code will be used. Another useful feature would be and global options in case some people want all their galleries to behave same way, but I understand this feature is coming. I have sent my donation to support this wonderful plugin. Thank you for your hard work!!

   I’m brand new to Word Press and it seemed not too much to ask to have the thumbnails in a gallery link to pages on the site. Everything I looked at before chancing upon this was either complicated, expensive, or–according to reviews–glitchy. This lovely little plugin installed perfectly, is easy to use, and does exactly the job I wanted it to do.

   This is the best gallery plugin that I have found for WordPress. It is the ONLY gallery that keeps my images in a nice grid even though they are different sizes. Every other gallery plugin (and I have tried several) either crops my images automatically to a size that fits their grib and does not work well with my photos or it stacks them weirdly so it is not a nice square grid. The plugin is easy to use and is very high quality. I also am grateful for their support. Five stars all the way around!
