How it's measured →2.5%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 406.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,323 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 3 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “playlist”, “channel” and “video playlist” (#4, #5 and #5 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “10K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 15 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 20K.

Ottimo plugin, complimenti

Funciona muy bien, es poco intuitiva y debería tener traducción a otros idiomas, pero una vez que aprendes a usarla es maravillosa

This plugin works as expected and has all of the options that we need. We use it to display our “Recent Appearances” playlist from YouTube. As we make changes to the playlist the website grid changes automatically and we have had no issues.

This was the only free plugin I could find that would provide a video playlist grid in a way so the YouTube play button didn’t obscure the thumbnail as it only shows when moused over. It works and looks great & does not require login into the channel where the playlist was created.

This is a review for the free version of YotuWP, so YMMV with paid features. We recently refreshed our entire website for work. On the old page, I had a video gallery plugin (a paid one) that did the job, but setup was over-complicated and keeping it updated required even more money unless I manually added each video. Enter YotuWP. Easy to set up (basic grid/pagination/title showing is basically all you need to set up), and it auto-updates with new uploaded videos without me having to touch a thing–all in the free version! There are a few other options that you can take or leave, such as styling or video box effects, but for a simple, self-updating video gallery you cannot beat this plugin. Thank you!
