AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
PiwigoPress is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Gallery category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 6 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 PiwigoPress works
Show full descriptionShow less
On the one hand, PiwigoPress is a WordPress Sidebar Widget that links
your blog to some public pictures of a Piwigo gallery. Thus, a Piwigo
gallery with several public pictures in it is a prerequisite to make it
working. But even if you don’t have one yet, you can nonetheless give this
plugin a try by using the Official Piwigo demonstration gallery before
setting up your own gallery.
PiwigoPress generates several highly valuable links in sidebars of your
WordPress blog, all of them being optional: a thumbnail linking to
the corresponding picture page, menus directing to all albums defined
as public in the gallery, several additional links to most recent, most
viewed, most commented pictures, and more.
On the other hand, by using a shortcode [PiwigoPress …] you can add
any public picture of a Piwigo gallery. Here again you should try even
though you don’t have yet your Piwigo Gallery. Have a look with
[PiwigoPress id=72 url=’http://piwigo.org/demo’] in a post or page.
Above all, PiwigoPress provides a shortcode generator. Each time you
add some pictures to your gallery you will be able to add a post related
to your last uploaded photos. So, your friends and family are going to
like your photos and Search Engines are going reference your gallery with
the refbacks provided by PiwigoPress.
When you’ve finished testing and want to create you own gallery, go to the
Piwigo download page, where you’ll find all the links you might need.
Try “NetInstall” first. If it fails, switch to the “Package” download and
follow the full installation procedure. When ready, if you are a bit lost,
just try Photos add page sheets (Web form, Applications, FTP + Synchronization)
in your Piwigo gallery administration page.
