Biggest opportunity: Swap “photo gallery”, “portfolio gallery” and “image portfolio” for “free portfolio”, “portfolio slider” and “filterable gallery”. “photo gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “free portfolio” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “portfolio gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “portfolio slider” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image portfolio” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “filterable gallery” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.9%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 5.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,318 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.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “photo gallery”, “portfolio gallery” and “image portfolio” for “free portfolio”, “portfolio slider” and “filterable gallery”. “photo gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “free portfolio” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “portfolio gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “portfolio slider” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image portfolio” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “filterable gallery” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “filterable portfolio”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
