Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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
Est. acquisition value
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.

Hello,I have translated into French the English sentences of “Erident Custom Login and Dashboard”. I did the translation with “Poedit”. But after transferring the two files “.mo” and “.po” on my website, the sentences in English still appear. I would like these sentences to be in French. Could you help me?Thank you in advance for your answer.Kidbert.

It was simple and effective. I guess that’s why the latest version eliminated both of those things.

After eight years using this plugin on dozens of sites, I can’t find another custom login plugin so reliable, simple and lean.

Does exactly what it says it does, and it does it well. Thank you Libin.

Great plug-in – my guess is it would have 500,000 downloads if it had a marketing machine behind it. I search high and low for something similar the better part of a month and this little gem never surfaced in google or any other blog. If you want a clean look and redirects for the standard WP login/ register pages look no further. Simple enough for a novice to nail down in an hour of tweaking. Thanks and great job!
