Square Thumbnails

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 · 62% 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.

   It doesn’t work anymore. Even it doesn’t save its settings. It used to work. Maybe it doesn’t support the current PHP/WP version. My WP version: 6.7.1My PHP version: 8.4.2

   Why put a nag on all pages and non dismissible?It should just be on the settings page of the plugin

   I have been using this plugin for several years now. The plugin is actively developing, new functions are being added. I am sure that the plugin will see better times! This topic was modified 1 year, 1 month ago by maximbelenkii.

   Like the title says. Might be confusing if you go back to the media page after the ‘Regenerate thumbnails’ plugin processes the image and you find the thumbnails unchanged – it simply needs a refresh of the page to see changes. Woocommerce please make this plugin a part of it’s core installation.

   This plug is perhaps one of a kind. I have been looking for a solution to my problem for a long time when importing files. And when I was almost desperate, I found the name of your plugin on one forum. You were like a ray of hope, like a Christmas miracle. Your plug-in millet is a gift of fate. He works flawlessly and does what is required of him. Developer, your plugin should be easier to find. You would save even more lives.

   I thought this plugin was great, and at first it was. However… I noticed one of my categories suddenly wasn’t displaying items. I thought I was going to have to re-enter the items entirely until I realized it was a problem with the images. So, if you’re using images less than 200×200 (I realize this is standard minimum size, but still I consider this issue a “bug”) it goes totally wonky. It isn’t a simple issue of the thumbnails not displaying properly. Something happens to where wordpress/woocommerce (because of the bad thumbnail) doesn’t display the product at all (no broken image, no bad thumbnail, just NOTHING.) I was able to re-upload the images (with the plugin installed) but it went wonky again, so I just turned the plugin off altogether.
