WP Flow Plus

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 82% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I’ve used WP Image Flow Plus on prior projects a while back, and recently downloaded the latest version for a new project. Works really well, especially if you take the time to digest the documentation about how to fine-tune its behavior. And if you want to tweak your own CSS for it. Also had a couple support questions recently, and was pleased to get answers very promptly and helpful. Highly recommended.

   Great plugin. Only problem is disable captions option seems to have stopped working. It’s still showing the captions area in black underneath the images although I have the disable captions checked off in settings. Has anyone else faced this issue? Thanks, Hunain

   I’m using the plugin with WP 3.8.1 it was very easy to configure. It could be improved by adding a ‘cycle’ feature to loop through the images when set to automatic, at the moment it displays the images in turn but then jumps back to the start position which takes the ‘smoothness out of the gallery. Still 5 stars though.

   Wish the author could make the CSS for this a little easier to adjust for the host website but what-the-heck, very attractive

   WP-ImageFlow Plus worked perfectly! As advertised! I tried to do this on my own, on a standalone web page. Ultimately, after two days of coding and editing, my page paled in comparison to WP-ImageFlow Plus. I installed the plugin and activated it, created a new page, pasted the shortcode into the page, added images to my gallery, and hit ‘Preview’. That whole process took about five minutes. It worked flawlessly! The carousel, the lightbox pop-ups, the navigation… Like I said, Perfect! Thank you! Only one question… I didn’t see a “Donate” button anywhere. How can I support future development?
