Biggest opportunity: Add “what” to your wp.org tags. You rank #21 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 46.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

AWESOME UNDERRATED!!!! Regards from Turkey, I am willing to pay for your plugins!

Don’t use this. It fails to show many photos that are in the posts. It doesn’t make a thumbnail and doesn’t look very nice. Better to use the WordPress Jetpack feature. Makes your site faster too since its not running on your server. [ Signature moderated ]
