Biggest opportunity: Swap “gallery”, “video” and “video gallery” for “vimeo video”, “vimeo video gallery” and “flexslider”. “gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “vimeo video” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “video” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “vimeo video gallery” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “video gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “flexslider” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

of downloads still active
At least 5K of 364.4K 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 3 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “gallery”, “video” and “video gallery” for “vimeo video”, “vimeo video gallery” and “flexslider”. “gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “vimeo video” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “video” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “vimeo video gallery” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “video gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “flexslider” sits at #20 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 “vimeo gallery”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Unfortunately, I am forced to come on here to write a review. I bought the pro version in December 2025, and the product keys have never worked. I enter them and I get an error: Dangit. Unknown error: missing_item_id.Since December, I’ve emailed support, used their website chat, and even sent the developer a DM on X.com. No response whatsoever. Very frustrating and this plugin needs to be pulled from WordPress. I can’t even get a refund.

Unfortunately I need to join the chorus of people decrying this plugin. The support team appears to be AWOL. They’ve been incorrectly billing me twice for a theme, and promised to escalate my refund request months ago, but nothing has happened. I also contacted them about a PHP error in the plugin but have received no response. Hopefully the author is ok, as this plugin appears to have been abandoned.

Keep looking for other solutions for your video needs. This company will TAKE YOUR MONEY and not solve your problem when their plugin does not work. The will stop responding and are not helpful as they promised. Beware of the 30-day money back guarantee…they promise to fix your problem but they will ignore you in hopes that you give up and the 30 days trial phase expires and then you are stuck losing $99 to this fraudulent company.

On Sep. 25 (it is now Oct. 4) I was notified by visitors of broken videos on my site. It was the second time in 9 months that the vimeography plugin has (most likely) deleted its own metadata, resulting in our site breaking. Support has been unhelpful -at best- and now does not respond to emails, their support box and/or twitter(x) at all.Overal this plugin COULD be recommended but seeing you basically get a FU when problems occur… I would not recommend this, highly overpriced, plugin This topic was modified 2 years, 9 months ago by Bob. Reason: Typo's

Whenever I had a question or needed help, the vimeography support was always there for me with quick solutions and workarounds. really appreciate your team greetings from austria

Highly recommended, wow, the Vimeology plugin and themes are exceptional, made my site function and look professional, it was unbelievably easy to setup and use, and the output was better than I could have imagined. I only required support because the initial theme I chose didn’t quite fit my site design, so I contacted them about an exchange for another theme. They got back to me straight away and exchanged the theme without any issues whatsoever. I’ll certainly be using them again.

The best and easy to use plugin for Vimeo. I hope it’ll be update in the future
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ cutrano5.1y ago
Bought the bundle and was really impressed with so many options and themes to choose from. Several different looks that are easy to modify if you know a little CSS. Dave is great with communication and support. helped me figure out something I was stuck on and then did a document that outlines how to correct the issue for anyone having the issue in the future. Great tool for the job. Recommended
