Biggest opportunity: Swap “login”, “register” and “registration” for “modal popup”, “lockdown” and “login history”. “login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “modal popup” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “register” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “lockdown” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “registration” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “login history” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 188.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,476 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “login”, “register” and “registration” for “modal popup”, “lockdown” and “login history”. “login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “modal popup” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “register” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “lockdown” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “registration” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “login history” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

Easy to set up, perfect to use with Ultimate Member and Woocommerce together. I will also add excellent support. This topic was modified 8 months ago by ronco168.

All the features of value, like redirect after login, which the description indicated were part of the free login, are not. It’s very misleading – All the useful features require Pro. We have 93 WordPress sites – Pro for them all would cost us $320 dollars, which is NOT going to happen.Sid

I’ve been using the paid version for over five years, and so far, no issues. Max Kaminsky, the author, responds very quickly to any questions through his website. However, if you have trouble accessing his site, you can contact him directly via email. For us, adding this plugin to our projects has been a great decision.

I’ve been using this plugin for years, but I’ve been using the pro version, because why wouldn’t I. Priced to own and great features, especially if you have memberships. The login redirects are the bomb. Cory C.

For the most part, it works. Yet: It’s a telltale sign when the plugin author hasn’t interacted with the support form in many months.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Anonymous3.4y ago
I like this plugin. Too bad that the important security related addon (recaptcha) is paid only. Without this, the free plugin is not usable. Also please add support for the plugin “nextend social login” so that the users can login/register using google, facebook,…
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Optimizr3.6y ago
ReCaptcha is the most important feature in every form plugins and it is the most basic need. Since you make it only available in PRO version, your plugin is insecure and vulnerable which makes it an useless plugin for the internet these days.

Doesn’t redirect on login. Most essential features are in paid version.
