Simple Photo Feed

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 · 85% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   What the title says. Simple, light and does the job. A pleasant surprise given all the other bloated and complex alternatives I tried. Love the lightbox feature too… thanks!!

   I had been using a different add-on the whole time until it just stopped displaying anything. That’s why I fiddled with the settings for several days without success. Fortunately, this add-on is available as a replacement.It doesn’t offer many setting options, but I don’t need them anyway. It’s supposed to display my Instagram posts properly in a widget, and it does that. Very quick to set up and it works perfectly!Thank you very much!
