WP Media folders

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 99% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 3K.

   Joomunited are some of the worst plugins we have used. This plugin brought our site to a crawl and it’s a dedicated server with 6cores RAM and 16gb RAM. We used a query monitor plugin and the wp media plugins use an enormous amount of resources. We bought another plugin from them and had to get a refund. Just bad coding. This plugin should be removed. This topic was modified 3 years, 7 months ago by hardtruth3456.

   As stated in the description, this plugin is not supported and should not even be made available. Thanks for wasting my time.

   In Query Monitor: Уведомления Функция WP_Scripts::localize вызвана неправильно. Параметр $l10n должен быть массивом. Для передачи произвольных данных в скрипты используйте функцию wp_add_inline_script(). Дополнительную информацию можно найти на странице «Отладка в WordPress».
