Biggest opportunity: “photo gallery”, “photography” and “sell digital print” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active

At least 50 of 25.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.

High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.34, well behind 6.8.

Update activity

Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

50–60 ≈50

Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 50.

    This is just the ticket , simple and effective However you cant exclude galleries. It is all or nothing. All it takes is one line of code to add this feature then it will only add the feature when you include a price in your gallery. At about line 144 after $post = get_post(); add this if(!isset($attr['amount'])) return $output; Of course when it gets updated you will have to add it again you you get an error which is annoying
