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

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.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   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).
