AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Image Formatr is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 4 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.

- +Published by huntermaster — established developer track record

How Image Formatr works
Show full descriptionShow less
Image Formatr is a simple plugin that goes through all the content images on
posts & pages, and with zero user changes:
gives them a standardized thumbnail format using CSS
puts a caption underneath each one using the title
makes them linked so they popup in full size
Thumbnails are not generated, but will be used if available in the media library.
This plugin is driven by the prettyPhoto
library so we could call this plugin a prettyPhoto integration plugin.
*Note: Supports images on Flickr.
Usage This only applies to the images you put in your content, not theme graphics.
<img src="/images/picture.jpg" class="alignright" title="A sample caption" link="http://example.com/" hint="Image borrowed from example.com" />
After the plugin runs, the output to the browser looks like:
<div class="img alignright"> <a href="/images/picture.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[main]"> <img src="/images/picture.jpg" title="Image borrowed from example.com" alt="" width="140" height="90"/> </a> <div style="width: 100%;"> <a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank">A sample caption</a> </div> </div>

Features
Standardizes all thumbnails without altering posts
Supports displaying images from Flickr: <img flickr=”1234567890″
title=”The magnificent Ceiba at the Archaeological Site of Palenque.”>
Generates image captions using the image title or alt
Integrates WordPress media library thumbnails
Gives popups for WordPress gallery images (adjust priority setting to 12)
Shows all content images on the blog as small thumbnails
(does not create new thumbnails but can use Media Library for thumbs)
Allows for fine-grained control of each image’s format
Zooms image to large size when clicked using the
prettyPhoto
library
Outputs standard XHTML compliant markup
Gallery Support To get WordPress Gallery images to popup, this plugin must run at a priority
greater (later) than the [gallery] shortcode which runs at priority 11. Therefore
set the priority setting to 12 in the Administration Options.
Overrides The actions of the plugin are enabled and disabled with administration settings
but can be overridden on each individual image.
usemysize – true/false – true = do not ignore an image width and height
usemya – true/false – true = do not ignore a parent anchor tag
nocap – true/false – true = do not create a caption
nofx – true/false – true = no popup effect
link – string url – make the caption a link to the url
hint – string txt – this will be the new image title
asis – true/false – true = don’t change nuthin
group – string txt – separate popup slideshows
thumb – string url – image thumbnail (version 0.9.7)
page – single/!single/front/!front – page filtering (version 0.9.7)
If you want to surround an image with an anchor tag <a>, then you should add
a usemya attribute within the image tag or else your anchor will be ignored
and replaced. If you do not want the popup effect at all, add a nofx attribute
to the image. If you do not want any caption, you can specify nocap, or just
leave the title blank. And to have the plugin completely ignore an image and
output the content directly from the post, use the asis attribute.
Example
<a href="http://www.example.com/"> <img src="/images/picture.jpg" title="Click to visit website" nocap="true" usemya="true" /></a>
Note: concerning the true/false overrides, do not include “false” parameters
like <img usemya="false">, i.e these overrides should only include the attributes
for which you want to designate a “true” value.
