Biggest opportunity: Swap “500px” for “picasa”. “500px” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “picasa” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active

At least 100 of 23.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,319 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

Removal-risk signals

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.19.

    I’ve tried this plugin a few times since WPv5.0 and never got it to work. The screenshots included with the plugin show pre-5.0 versions of wordpress and the ‘Add Media’ functionality has changed a lot since. I wanted to use this to insert my Flickr images into posts and/or use them as Featured Images, but there is no option anywhere in the Gutenberg interface for this to work, plus there are no end of PHP errors showing up. It’s so quiet on the support forum I can only assume that everyone has given up or no longer using it. A real shame

    It claims it “Currently supports” Dropbox but after uploading… NO sign of Dropbox anywhere?

    Right on target. Easy to install, easy to use. Base app connects to Flickr, Instagram, 500px and Dribbble out of the box. Premium extension apps are super – they add access to other cloud storage services such as dropbox. Once connected, access to those servers happens through the “new page” or “new post” window. The “installer” extensions enhances the value: with it, you can move files into your blog, which means you can duplicate files, storing one on DropBox and the other in your blog. All this for FREE! With a $5 extension, you get much more value. Thanks for a great app.

    I use it to link my flickr images to my blog post. I have found it extremely simple and quick to use and works perfectly. The developer also responds to questions quickly. Thanks!

    I used the update for 1.4 and it does not work with any of the paid extensions. “OauthUtil Class fatal error” occurs I reverted back to 1.3 and it works fine again. Other than that it is a great plugin. A few things that should be changed. Flickr- allow you to login for viewing private images instead of just picking a flickr user Dropbox – allow for a default folder so users don’t have to navigate through all their folders each time for their images One other feature that would be great is allowing upload to these services straight from the plugin similar to cloudinary wordpress plugin Pretty cool plugin though. Only one I’ve found that lets you use dropbox, flickr, etc as just an extension to the crappy media library.
