Thumbnail Slider With Lightbox

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.

   Developer asked for access to my mysql to manually create tables. Waste of money and more importantly TIME.

   The biggest gripe I have about this plugin is the lack of ability to customize the look and feel without customizing the plugin itself. Unfortunately the developer put an important declaration on EVERYTHING. They are all custom classes (like bx-wrapper, bx-next, etc.) so there is no need to do this. Not everyone would want a solid color background, so to make that field not required I had to adjust the javascript validation because overriding in CSS wasn’t possible.
