Biggest opportunity: “groups” and “social network” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 14.7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,478 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Login & Users 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 1 release 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| xprofile fields | #3 | #7 | 0 |
| xprofile | #3 | #6 | up 1 |
| buddypress profile field your tag | #8 | #20 | up 1 |
| buddypress groups your tag | #20 | #24 | down 2 |
| buddypress profile | #22 | #24 | down 1 |
| buddypress your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| groups your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| social network your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
11 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 6 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “groups” and “social network” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “xprofile” and “xprofile fields”. #3 and #3 without listing them. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ notright7.1y ago
I was looking for a plugin that would allow me to set a minimum character limit the multi-text fields for my Buddypress website. This plugin promised to do just that. On top of that it had 5/5 stars, and I was so happy that I finally found what I was looking for! Then I installed the thing. First of all it doesn’t allow you to show a member’s birthday as age which is what most users care about. Second, and most importantly, validation requirements don’t work. I’d set a minimum character limit, make sure it was saved, and then refresh the page and it would be gone! I went to the support section and saw someone else was having a similar problem 2 weeks ago and the author hadn’t fixed it. I also saw quite a few others with this problem and didn’t receive a resolution. I don’t expect much support for a free plugin but when basic functionalities are not working for many people its time for the author to take a look and try to fix the problem. If the other reviews are indeed real I’m glad it worked for them but it didn’t work for me and I uninstalled it. This topic was modified 6 years, 10 months ago by notright.

Simple and easy to use. This plugin gives features that were in missing in Xprofile.

Hi! It’s a great plugin! But he lacks one detail. Required – a parameter to specify which in order the column will be displayed in the admin user table.

At the time of writing this, it still works great. I have no idea how you got Select2 to work so fast with taxonomies (it is so much slower with other applications, such as ACF). You must have some voodoo code, because it is lightening fast. Hope you do maintain.

I can’t seem to fault your plugin, it addresses some of the most requested features with regards to xprofile fields. Thank you so much for your work! Oh and NICE! on the hide name feature from profile and registration 🙂
