Block, Suspend, Report for BuddyPress

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.

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.

37 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 34 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 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 · 97% 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 59 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 600.

   CSS has to be added to make it look somewhat presentable on BuddyBoss… And it is throwing errors now, which I assume is because it hasnt been updated…

   So far I am thrilled with the plugin. It works beautifully on my website. Does exactly as advertised: allows my website users to report offensive or abusive content, and gives them the option to block anyone they want (except for the website administrator of course). The plugin is pretty simple to use and works great! Absolutely love it!

   I came across this plugin because I needed a way for my users to block other users from seeing comments on my blog posts. At the time, I could not find a single plugin that works for this purpose. There are several out there that allows users to block others from seeing their activity comments on the Buddypress sites. However, it doesn’t work with blog posts comments. I exchanged a few emails with Ben (plugin developer) who tried to help me figure out the problem. He came to a conclusion that the plugin does not have such a feature at the time, but he will look into it and maybe add it to a future update. A day later, I got an email that he got it added as a PRO feature. I purchased the Premium version and VIOLA! It Works! Simple as that. 5 stars for having a plugin that worked flawlessly, and another 5 stars for having a developer with a customer service that’s next to none. After several days of searching for the perfect solution, Ben got me my answer. Thank you.

   I downloaded the plugin with a free trial for the Professional version. After playing with it, I send an email to Ben asking how to prevent a member from seeing that he has been blocked by others. First Ben said that I need to find a developer for modification on HIS OWN PLUGIN when I believe he was able to do it himself with small custom work or snippet. When I told him this, he falsely accused me of doing it for free when he failed to give me a quote for custom work that I asked for. He took our conversation too personally that he decided to unilaterally cancel my free trial and subscription saying that he could not support what I am asking. Huh? This is an example of bad customer service when the developer allows his emotion to cloud his judgment. My advice is to avoid his plugin if the developer can’t handle customers’ simple requests without getting too personal about it. If Ben can’t do my request, it should leave up to me to decide if I want to cancel the subscription unless I find another developer to do the modification work on the plugin. Not up to Ben.

   I’m so happy I found this plugin. We couldn’t live without it. It works like a charm and if there would be some issue then Ben is on it immediately. Super duper support! Actually the best support I have experienced among plugin providers. And I have been in contact with quite a few. It feels really great and I absolutely recommend you getting this one. It is essential if you have a Buddyboss/Buddypress site with more users than you can handle without a plugin like this. 🙂
