How it's measured →2.7%
of downloads still active
At least 30K of 1.1M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,319 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 9 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
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “woocommerce variation image gallery”, “hacks” and “images gallery” (#4, #9 and #10 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

I experienced a rather tricky issue with the Woo Variation Gallery plugin, and Dhul from GetWooPlugins stayed with me throughout the entire troubleshooting process. Although it took some time to identify the root cause, Dhul was consistently responsive, professional, and incredibly patient. What impressed me most was his willingness to investigate thoroughly, explain the different options, and continue working on the problem until we found a solution. Thanks to his dedication, the issue is now fully resolved. Customer support like this is rare these days. If you’re considering GetWooPlugins products, you can be confident that you’ll be backed by a team that genuinely cares about helping its customers. Many thanks again, Dhul, for your persistence and excellent support!
