How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 20 of 2.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.16.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| usermetas your tag | #16 | #22 | 0 |
| usermeta | #21 | #24 | up 1 |
| users your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “usermetas”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “users” 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ FTF Developer6.1y ago
This is a great tool for deleting user meta when you do not have direct db access. Corrupted user meta can cause issues with the organization of the Block Editor (aka – if a metabox usually in the main content section is stuck in the sidebar) which is what this tool was used to resolve. As the description states, always be careful when deleting user meta (or anything) as some of the user meta is crucial to WordPress functionality, but in the situation we had deleting user meta related to “meta-box-order” solved the issue being troubleshot. Thank you for this tool Jose! -FTFDev
