Xpand Image Gallery

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Hi, Updated review: We had some awkward email communication between our companies. All the emails got stuck somewhere so we couldn’t reach each other and after 5 days, we got really stressed out that we didn’t receive anything. However, thanks to the very quick response from Hey! team, things got sorted out. One of a better wp gallery plugin with very good price 🙂 Recommended! — This is a very unfortunate rating I have to give you since this is one of the better looking gallery plugin I’ve been by far, that’s why I asked my boss to buy the pro version so we can put caption next to the photos on our website. He went ahead and bought keys for 5 sites last week. It has been a whole week of waiting and 2 emails sent straight to your company to ask for the keys but no answer. Please get back to me ASAP. My self confident and reputation is hanging on a thin line for recommend this to my boss and I don’t want this to be a scam.

   Xpand seemed to be exactly what I was looking for to produce a website for an artist who wanted her pictures to expand on the page. However, when I placed a gallery on the front page, all formatting of the theme I am using (Accessing Zsn) and I ended up with a crude HTML-based page. Here is what the front page looked like before I created an Xpand gallery: http://postimg.org/image/5j16vag4t/ Here is what it looked like after: http://postimg.org/image/dd1sgonxp/ ADDED: Changed rating because developer made adjustments to code to take care of issues.
