WP Media Metadata Fix

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 · 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.

   I use dynamically created thumbnails, but switching from WP basic pictures management to this left some error in media metadata that I was wondering how to fix (appart from directly modifying the database…). This plugin just did the job for me. It already inspires me an other plugin I could write: WP do not reorder the sizes in SRCSET but uses the order in metadata, leading to display problem on some browsers (Chrome for instance) as they get a bigger size than expected. Maybe that could be something to correct like you did in your plugin. Thank you very much!

   I migrated all the media from an old wordpress site to a new one and forgot to migrate the postmeta table and lost all the media IDs, I was racking my brain with SQL when I found this plugin that solved my problem with a few clicks. Thank you very much and congratulations to the developer! Best regards, Pedro Nascimento
