Biggest opportunity: Swap “photo gallery” and “album gallery” for “album” and “albums”. “photo gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “album” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “album gallery” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “albums” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.0%

of downloads still active

At least 1K of 101.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,317 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.

    It does work fairly well to be fair. Simple to use, and enough layout variety to satisfy basic requirements. The lightbox is excellent. I found it unnecessary to use Awesome Font as indicated. I was unable to load a profile picture initially. This turned out to be a conflict with Media Credit, which the support team identified professionally. However, there remain some minor issues with text and colour formatting in the Profile and General sections. I found these can be resolved by applying custom CSS to the relevant pages. A wysiwyg editor easily solves these issues. Overall, I’m a very satisfied customer. The support is not lightening fast (from Europe, due to IST), but is 100% reliable. Recommended because it is straightforward, and can be configured to more or less mirror a Flickr account. This topic was modified 3 years ago by gosssmith.

    I purchased the Pro version of the plugin and there was something that wasn’t functioning properly. I contacted support and they replied within one day. They then supplied an updated version of their plugin to fix the problem. The plugin works great and their support team is quick to respond to any issues.

    Super easy to use and works well. Had an issue with Cloudflare Rocket loader (there’s a js error which causes lightbox not to load). Thanks to support, I knew the issue and disabled Rocket Loader. End of problem 🙂
