AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Embed Piwigo is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Embed category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Embed Piwigo works
The Embed Piwigo plugin adds support for embedding photos from whitelisted Piwigo websites.
This means that you can add the URL (a.k.a. ‘web address’) of a photo in a Piwigo site to a WordPress post or page, and a medium-sized, centered image will be inserted in its place.
The standard WordPress captioning system will be used (as for the Caption Shortcode), with the photo’s title, date, and description added if they’re available for a given image.
For example, if you have https://piwigo.org/demo in your Piwigo site URLs list, and add the following URL on its own line in a post or page on your blog:
https://piwigo.org/demo/picture.php?/1382/category/111
then a photo of a mountain in Kerzers will be inserted, with the caption “Colline de Chiètres (May 6, 2016)”. The date format will match whatever your WordPress installation is configured to use.
