Biggest opportunity: “gallery”, “movies” and “mp4” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 21.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,317 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.1.42, well behind 6.8.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| ungallery your tag | #1 | #1 | — |
| gallery your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| movies your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| mp4 your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| pictures your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

If you are needing to display a HUGE block of images, and don’t want to go through the process of uploading THOUSANDS of images into your Wp Db, then this is the plugin for you. The way the images are displayed is simple and effective – no frills, but I’m sure that if you need slick displays you can find someone to CSS your posts into whatever you like. I manage three photography sites, all of which have 1,000 to 20,000 images. I have not found a Wp uploader that is up to the task of importing all that – not to mention working on tagging and categorizing each image. UnGallery allows you to work directly with existing folder structures and get the show on the road Post Haste! NOTE – this plug in is all about FUNCTIONALITY – not about being slick and polished. For those who need the function it provides, this plugin is a “hole in one”. If you need all this PLUS a super swanky flashy fizz-bang display, I suspect you need to look for a custom built bit of code (why not ask this plug-in’s author about whether or not he’d take the job?).
