Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    My users were receiving the “rest password” email, but the email was missing the actual link to reset. I searched all over Google to find a solution, and this is what worked for me. Awesome plugin!!

    Great plugin and I’m using simply to fix an issue with my site where emails go out with a missing link. One thing I wish the plugin author would consider is moving the admin menu underneath settings rather than wasting a bunch of space on my main admin menu (2 lines) just for this relatively simple plugin that has basically only 1 purpose and 1 settings page. Utilizing a full menu space like that should really be reserved for large plugins with multiple submenu items. Boo to that decision 🙁
