Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
Modeled from public signals only; the real figure depends on pricing and conversion we cannot see. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.
How we estimate this
Assumptions
- Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
- Annual price per customer. $49–$129 a year, typical for WordPress plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
- Acquisition multiple. 2.5x–4.5x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, stretched a little because downloads are growing.
- Install base. 10K–20K active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

“ImageMagick” is necessary to operate this plug-in. ImageMagick is unreliable and has been banned on many servers in my country.

This plugin is great for creating columns in content areas. That being said it desperately needs a way to target individual columns with css. something like [one_half class="my-class"] Content goes here [/one_half] [one_half_last class="my-other-class"] Content goes here [/one_half_last] Great plugin use it on every site, would like to see it actively developed further. Check out their other plugin wp-tabs-widget. Another great plugin that should be developed further. This topic was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by WCat.

Simply but powerful plugin
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ wottow12.0y ago
I own 3 themes and a plugin from MythemeShop. The shortcodes in this simple plugin make it extremely easy to correctly insert buttons, maps, video, rows and more with just a click. It may not be rocket science but it is perfectly adequate and a good addition to their themes. It does what it says it will, so 5 stars from me.
