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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% 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.

   As a realtor, my sites depend on images. Big images with few distractions surrounding them. This gives me EXACTLY what I want. I’m new to WP so this is so easy to use. Many thanks!

   Brakuje chociażby kilku podstawowych opcji, jednakże działa najszybciej, najlepiej, i zawsze dostosowuje się do sytuacji.

   I tried this plugin on my test environment and I must say it works nicely. There are no options available and as the plugin author suggests, you must edit the plugin source code if you want to use the various settings available. Look for the string “$type=”f”;” and change it with a, b, c, d or e. Check out the demo from the script creator to find our the combination that suits you best: http://osvaldas.info/examples/image-lightbox-responsive-touch-friendly/ The combination I’d like is missing though: overlay, activity, caption and close button (basically “f” without the navigation). The navigation looks ugly on a smartphone if you have a lot of pictures in your post as it spans on multiple lines. It is possible to hack the CSS in order to hide the navigation for a specific media queries. Example: @media only screen and (max-width: 960px){ #imagelightbox-nav { display: none; } } Regards, Stefano
