How it's measured →2.6%
of downloads still active
At least 800 of 30.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Membership plugin keeps 0.9%, across 166 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Membership 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.

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.

What to do about it
- One page off on “member”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “membership” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Release cadence

With this plugin setting a role based on membership status, I was able to create a facility for members (or former members) to login and see their history, status, and groups.

WordPress users would be lost without this plugin if they want a membership site that integrates with CiviCRM.

I can’t believe there is only one rating. This plugin rocks so much! I would not have been able to use civicrm without it as I needed an approval process before user can access private content. Thanks a lot 🙂
