1.9%

of downloads still active

At least 1K of 53.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.

This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    I love this plugin, it makes the Relatable Products area work beautifully, I haven’t found another plugin that even comes close. But the problem is, the premium is just too expensive. Maybe if you only plan to use this plugin on one site, it may not be too bad. But for the very simple function the plugin serves of making a feature that is already included in Woocommerce, look and work nicer, $280 for an unlimited license is rather astronomical, with all due respect to the creator, and how much work it takes to code these things. I would love to purchase this plugin to support the creator, and get the plugin to work to its fullest, but for that to happen the price would have to come down dramatically for the pro version.

    I had a couple issues when activating this plugin: 1) There was a hook missing on my site which kept the slider from appearing on my product page (I had this issue with other related product slider plugins I tried) 2) When I added a longer custom title, it overlapped with the navigation arrows I posted tickets with the pro plugin’s support team, and they created custom code for me to add that resolved both issues. Took them a day or so to respond, but I highly recommend their work! Definitely worth purchasing the pro version just for the support.

    Had a problem getting WPB WooCommerce Related Products Slider PRO to work. Imran logged into our site and discovered that our theme was causing the problem and updated the plugin to make it work, all in 1 hour. Brilliant support.

    I purchased the product slider pro for the additional features. The plugin works on my site and looks good, however i have received no support when trying to determine the best way to use the woocommerce CSV import suite with the plugin. I first contacted support on March 15 there was some back and forth, but now it has been 7 days without a response and i have followed up on multiple occasions. I have now asked for a refund two different ways, but still crickets! It is very disappointing when you pay for a plugin and receive no support.

    Would be helpful if it works with woo-commerce 2.6.14. If we install now it is not loading the related products itself instead it shrinks and stops displaying the footer part half way in product pages.
