Biggest opportunity: “custom login”, “custom login page” and “wordpress custom login page” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 53.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,477 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.19.

How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| custom login your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| custom login page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wordpress custom login page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

I love your plugin. It’s easy to use I hope will has more beautiful templates to choose. It should has feature to set background color for the login form, i like to use transparent background for login form. The Business card template not working very well, can’t see the text … The Bootstrap template does not wrap the text forgot password and back to home page. 1 Vote+ for random images from Wikimedia. Keep up the good works. This topic was modified 9 years ago by whateverfree2. This topic was modified 9 years ago by whateverfree2.
