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. 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.

   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!
