Thumbnail Editor

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 · 84% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I would have expected that when the appropriate resolution was selected, the image would be scaled accordingly. But that doesn’t happen. Instead, you have to adjust the resolution yourself. In addition, this cannot be adjusted manually by entering the values. That’s not very user friendly. This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by europeano.

   I really want this plugin to work. It’s unusable if the original image is large, however. It presents a full-size pixel-per-pixel image on which you’re supposed to place a crop rectangle. That image is so large, however, that you cannot make the crop rectangle large enough to surround the area you want to use as the thumbnail. To make this plugin usable, the displayed image must be scaled to fit in the edit window. Scroll bars on the edit window are just unacceptable.

   This is a very easy to use plugin that can be used to replace default WordPress image thumbnails. This will make your images look good when you use them in your site. You can use shortcode to display images in your post or page.
