AppRanks verdict

Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily

PiwigoPress is a mixed-rating 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. 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.

Pros

+Published by vpiwigo — established developer track record

Cons

−Average rating below 4.0 (3.7★) — read recent low-star reviews before committing
−Limited review base (6) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

How PiwigoPress works

Show full description

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.
