Allow Multiple Accounts

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

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.

1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 90% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 7 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Even with UltimateMember, just change user registration form to not require a unique email address

   Despite the lack of update for 5+ years, we just installed it on a WordPress 5.4.2 and it works perfectly. Author should update the compatibility to remove the scary message on top of the plugin’s page.

   Thanks for sharing, works great with WordPress 3.9.1. After deactivating normal user-management seems being unaffected, unless you try to change an existing “multiple-email-user” or ad a new user of this type. (but after re-activating this tasks succeed too!) I find it very useful for maintaning historic users, who won’t will have own editor-access at the instance but should remaining for historical intentions; giving them an unremindable password in combination with an admin-dummy-email ([email protected]) and then re-declaring them as only registered users will make these Userprofiles acceptable on a productive WordPress website, I think?!

   This is a great plugin! When using WP 4.8.3 or later, a small patch needs to be applied (see support section for patch).
