User sentiment analysis

Users find the Pixabay Images plugin to be a convenient tool for quickly adding free, high-quality images to their WordPress sites, saving them considerable time in finding Creative Commons images. It's praised for its simplicity, ease of use, and the ability to embed images directly into the editor without repetitive uploading. However, many users face significant issues, including conflicts with themes like Divi, bugs that cause broken image links, and outdated functionality, as the plugin hasn't been updated in years. Additionally, there are limitations on image sizes and relevancy of search results. Enhanced administrative options and better compatibility could improve user experience significantly.

With Pixabay Images activated, I cannot use the Divi 4.3.4 visual builder. This plugin hasn’t been updated in 2-years and it shows. I used to love it, but no more. This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by hollajamer.

Hi Simon, I have version 3.4 and it doesn’t work. Happy to help you solve the bug and turn the one star into five. When clicking on the image to download, the little loader animation keeps going forever and I see an error 500 on a post attempt to /wp-admin in my Chrome console. Then when I look in the media gallery after a few more seconds, the images shows up as broken (grey page icon). ––EDIT–– Apparently the bug comes from a conflict with the WP Super Cache plugin by Automattic: the “Clear all cache files when a post or page is published or updated” option needs to be checked in the Advanced settings. Four stars now that it works. This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by katemiller. This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by katemiller.

Used to be a “Great” stock picture tool, but is in dire need of an update because it declined to an “Okay” stock picture tool. Key words often don’ t seem to work as well in the plugin as they do on the Pixabay site self and many irrelevant results get mixed in. This plugin is still somewhat faster than searching on google images for “labeled for reuse” pictures. But nowadays I often find myself using google anyway because I can’t even simply find a good “strawberries cream” in the pixabay app. Bummer 🙁

Worked great as long as I was using a vanilla theme, but after struggling with the DIVI Builder not loading when I tried to edit pages, have found out that it is not working properly with divi. Currently on Divi Version: 3.21.3, and Pixabay Plugin Version: 3.4
