Video Grid

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. 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.

   Futile attempt to do something good. Why do you do ONLY 1 grid per whole site?

   have been using this plugin for 3 years. User interface is a bit lacking. It is functional but often has issues with replacing thumbnails and it once stopped working randomly when updating wordpress to 5.6 Nik provides assistance quickly and has helped a number of times with custom code to fix things like the gallery not centering correctly… but in the end these are basic features that should be a tick box in the plugin, not an email and custom css to correct. I have since switched to a different plugin (4x the cost) but many more features. This topic was modified 5 years, 6 months ago by GeraldW.

   The lightbox was no longer working for me but the plugin author responded and helped me get the newest version. It is now working perfectly. Thank you!

   The video grid plug-in is very functional and nicely displays all the videos on my portfolio without negatively impacting the performance of my website. I had a couple requests to customize some aspects of the CSS. Support was quick to reply with the changes I requested. I would definitely recommend the plug-in if you need a simple and clean way to display videos on your WordPress website.

   Unfortunately, when changing a thumbnail all change.

   Great tool. The widget uses the youtube link…not the youtu.be link – which you can find by actually pointing the browser to the video and copying the url. On your youtube page, the links will be the .be version. Also – to insert the video grid, select “preview gallery” and copy the code under “To print this video gallery into WordPress Post/Page use below code”, then, insert the code on the page to display it.
