Video Popup Block – YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok Lightbox by WPZOOM

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I was testing so much plugins like this one but they all kinda missing something. This plugin works like it suppose to work, it’s super simple, easy to use, no ads and annoying popups, just one gutenberg block with minimal options. And support is phenomenal! Thank you for your work.

   A nice, simple WordPress block that does exactly what it says it does and works perfectly. I looked at and tried several other plugins, but they were either overkill, cost too much money, or just flat-out didn’t work on my multi-site installation. This fit the bill for what I need to do, and it’s free! Thanks, WPZOOM.I just wish this plugin didn’t have to load the jQuery framework to work, but that’s a minor quibble. One other suggestion to the deveoper: to make the button styles very explicit so that they don’t get overridden by more generic button styles from the theme. But easily fixed with a bit of custom CSS!

   Sometimes you just need a block for a particular feature and not having to install a plugin that adds another 20 design blocks to clutter your already crowded block library just because they have that one block you need. Well, I just need a Youtube video popup block, and WPZOOM delivers. Simple one block wonder and it works. Thank you for the good work. This topic was modified 3 years ago by Skylabb.

   This is great little block plugin. It works great. And it’s so nice that it does one job (a video popup / modal) and does that one job well. I think this is way better than having to get a plugin that has a bunch of blocks you just don’t need or want. Cheers!
