How it's measured →4.2%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 71.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,263 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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 3 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.

It took me some time to find the right plugin to manage members of our team. AWSM Team did perfectly the job. I had an issue with the editing recently and the support was just so efficient, I’m grateful for their help. I highly recommend it.

The Awsm Team plugin is simply awesome. Probably the only plugin that has a wonderful Individual Team Listing Design rather than just listing members based on categories.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ donpro6.8y ago
Nice looking plugin but kind of useless for my website. I added team members and for each member, included a long description with content, lists, etc. After creating a Team, adding the members and pasting the shortcode into a page, I see that it displays the team members nicely but doesn’t allow each to link to the detailed team member page! All that work entering content and the user will never see it.

Thank you for the great work! Plugin is simple and beautiful! Few things, is it possible to upload the users at a go? And also can we have links for each team member, which can open up a page for the member with the details?
