Biggest opportunity: Swap “exclude member roles” for “bp”. “exclude member roles” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bp” sits at #24 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 →0.3%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 3K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| pmpro membership level buddypress restriction your tag | #4 | #3 | 0 |
| lock bbpress your tag | #16 | #24 | up 1 |
| pmpro | #20 | #15 | down 1 |
| exclude member roles your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| guest user restriction your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| private profile your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 1 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
- Swap “exclude member roles” for “bp”. “exclude member roles” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bp” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “lock bbpress”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Option to exclude role from member directory loop is such obvisous option to have, that is the only plugin to do so ! Thanks for the great job !

I’m currently building a site that needs to have restrictions on user access. Especially to viewing the User Directory. This plugin is a brilliant little thing…lightweight, functional, reliable. It is perhaps something small to have done on sites for other people, but for me…? This was a big need!! And I also needed this plugin to restrict the ability for users to see their OWN profiles. I asked Prashant if there was a way to do this in the support forum here, and he responded back super quick — with a solution that worked!!!! Here’s the support ticket I opened that he resolved super quickly and with the right solution to my need for restricting user access to their own profile: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restrict-access-to-users-own-profile/ I couldn’t be any happier. He’s a fantastic developer and this plugin is exceptionally useful, lightweight, and reliable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! <3
