FancyTube – Video Gallery, Video Slider, and Playlist Slider for YouTube

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 · 90% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I recently had a client purchase the Pro version of this plugin so we could replace over a dozen YouTube players on their site. The wanted something similar to what they currently had with a scrollable playlist attached to the right of the video player. At first, things looked great and worked fine. But then realises that when you have more than ONE of the scroll style player on the same page the first one works fine but the others show the entire playlist in one giant list causing the player container to grow in size vertically to accommodate instead of scrolling. I tried to use their support site but it does not work and they were unresponsive via email and chat. I then switched to the slider version of the player which does seem to work fine. I am however having issues with the fullscreen not working even though it is turned on in the player options. I again tried to contact their support and have received no response at all. SInce my previous review got flagged, I just want to make clear that this IS my review. I am not looking for support on here, just noting that they seem to no longer provide support so beware when purchasing this product.

   FancyTube is an exceptional tool that has exceeded my expectations in many ways. The standout feature for me has been the level of customer support I received. The team behind FancyTube provided me with top-notch, personalized assistance, going above and beyond to ensure my webpage looked exactly as I envisioned. They even supplied custom CSS to tailor the appearance to my specific needs. This level of dedication and expertise in customer service is a rarity and greatly appreciated.

   After selecting the gallery videos, it took me several minutes to set up a video gallery with my YouTube playlist.
