Biggest opportunity: Swap “carousel slider” and “woocommerce slider” for “products slider” and “product grid”. “carousel slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “products slider” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce slider” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “product grid” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.1%

of downloads still active

At least 9K of 833.6K 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 5 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.

    I am using this plugin just for a few days, but I am impressed, especially with the layout builder and layouts.There are plugins with nicer UI on the market, but this is best choice for me because of customizing options.Thx for your great job!

    ***Update, happy to continue to use an old version of the plugin as it works just fine for my application. Not a horrible plugin by any means, the devs got back and offered suggestions. Probably will work fine for you. Original: I have been using this plugin for years without issue, but the last updates have rendered it useless. I have reached out to support but am yet to hear anything back via email a few weeks ago now. I used the plugin for a simple featured product slider on my homepage, but it is completely broken now, and I can’t fix it with any settings. I have to revert to version 1.13.25 to keep the original seamless operation. The issue is as follows: Before, the slider had perfect touch/click&drag functionality for interactive use, but it no longer slides at all with any interaction. The slider also used to loop indefinitely with the 10 products I have displayed, but the loop is broken and no longer can you swipe constantly around. The autoplay functions all seem to be broken as well (timed rotation, auto-stop on hover, etc). And the navigation buttons do nothing at all and barely display. I have created new sliders with all the proper settings selected and nothing works as it says. Please fix this or revert to a functioning version. I will happily correct my review if the updates fix the plugin again. I have been using for ages with no complaints and am disappointed to see these releases.

    The UI is not logical. Also it adds way too much CSS to the site and hurts the Core Web Vitals rating. To top all this after a recent plugin update the slider design and layout was totally broken. Unprofessional and a waste of time.
