Biggest opportunity: Swap “buddypress”, “community” and “members” for “token gating”, “twenty ten” and “bp”. “buddypress” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “token gating” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “community” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “twenty ten” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “members” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bp” sits at #16 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 →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 39.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 2 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.

Review button ends up in 404 error because of the letter ‘s’ at the end in the url. This is fixed by removing the S from ‘Reviews’ under BuddyPress Member Reviews Settings Display settings (Review( Plural )).
