Simple Image Sizes

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 · 95% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   The plugin does the job, but it just started putting a request in our dasboard to provide feedback on “Mediapapa on WordPress.org”. But behind that text is a link to the commercial mediapapa site, not to wordpress.org. I think this is against wordpress.org policies. And BTW: the link results in a Cloudflare 524 error….

   This plugin has been a life saver for me thought the years, without major issues. Very simple and intuitive to use (tough it could still use a little bit of refinement to better explain its settings). But so far so good! Glad to see it is still maintained periodically.Keep it up!

   This plugin doesn’t work on 6.1.1 with WooCommerce. First setting the product no cropping is not saved. Next, when regenerating images it gets stuck.

   Website speed is very important for me. This plugin allows you to create additional image sizes and to override used standard image sizes of your wordpress theme. It helps not to use oversized images which slow down your website.

   I’m using WordPress version 5.4.1 and a Sahifa theme. Unfortunately my theme displays featured images cropped and huge. the CSS modifications can fix the display size but this little plugin did the trick to stop the theme from cropping the images. I just checked the “Cropping=no” option. No bugs so far with the theme or version of WordPress. But I am a little worried as someone left a review talking about server load. We shall see. I will test if I can deactivate the plugin and keep this no crop option. Also because it’s old I worry about security. I wish the developer would update it but I am still giving it 5 stars cause it worked great for me, even today in May 2020. UPDATE: Even more amazing! Right at the bottom the plugin lets you download the functions.php modifications to add manually to your theme file so you can deactivate the plugin!
