Biggest opportunity: Swap “custom login page” for “admin color scheme”. “custom login page” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “admin color scheme” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.4%

of downloads still active

At least 10K of 2.3M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 7 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    Thanks for this plugin! I’ve been meaning to add a thankyou for some time. The images transition nicely and add flavour to my login screen 🙂

    This plugin in its newest version (I don’t know when it was introduced, but an older version didn’t have this problem) disables error_reporting from the entire WordPress-installation when WP_DEBUG is enabled. I had to comment out error_reporting(0) in four different files from this plugin, to get WP_DEBUG to work properly again. The errors this plugin produces (it’s a lot) should actually be fixed and handled properly, instead of ignored like this (and also creating problems for debugging other stuff). At the very least it should not disable error_reporting. Another problem is that it’s not made with multisite in mind. This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by prebennor.

    We love this plugin. It’s full of customizations and the plugin developer is lightning fast to fix any reported issues or bugs. Even better, this plugin is fully compatible with all caching plugins and PHP 8.1.3+
