Video Gallery Block – showcase your videos in a filterable gallery

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

188 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 136 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

   With some minor tweaks (a center function) then it could become awesome!

   Could be a great tool for posting media items if it was just a little user friendly. I added 20 videos to a page and not one of them shows the caption or title. What good is that? My site is contains videos(500K, images(100K and stories(200K). Needless to say, that having a solid, reliable and user friendly content management system is mandatory. I have been trying to launch my site for two years now and have even hired a developer to fix the site and that is not working out so good. I have yet to find a decent plugin that can create directory lists and keep the categories/tags straight. I add content and shortly afterwards it disappears. I fix one problem and another one shows up. How is it possible that plugins are available that haven’t been tested with all versions of WP. The ramifications caused by an incompatible plug-in are endless. I spend 90% of my time reading help files and support forums and always come up empty handed. Questions are asked but never answered and are so old that they are no longer relevant. I must say there is one thing about WordPress that is executed very efficiently and that is BILLING. If only the energy and attention to detail that billing utilizes was directed towards the user experience this might be a worthy platform. The jury is still out on that, sadly. I am sure someone is thinking that this is not the appropriate place to post this comment and I apologize for that. I am at the end of my rope now and am ready to surrender for the first time in my life. YOU WIN WORDPRESS! This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by spanky126.

   The Video Galley is working well, and filter albums was lit! The only thing was missing is the Caption or Title of every Videos. Hoping next update, the developer will put this suggestion. 5 stars for this plugin

   It is easy to use and has a very nice look, and it is also possible to create categories for the videos and filter them.

   This is great – took me ages to find it – but after I did I removed all my other video galleries as they were no longer needed because this was the best.
