Extra User Details

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 87% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2.3 years ago; the previous band took 3.6 years to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   This is a simple, but very useful extension. It’s unfortunate that it no longer seems to be maintained and remains confidential. Essential, I couldn’t do without it.

   Good plugin. Does what it says. What would make it a great plugin would be the support for the new wordpress REST api. Accessing the user data through the users endpoint a dedicated one would be great. http://v2.wp-api.org/extending/adding/

   Took me a bit to get this out, since there is no help online. I wrote a little function and pasted it into my functions.php: function extra_user_info() { global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); echo 'Your extra user info is' . $current_user->PUT_YOU_ID_HERE ; } add_action ('NAME_OF_HOOK_WHERE_YOU_WANT_IT', 'extra_user_info', 20);

   Took me a while to figure out with not much documentation to work with. Ended up using statements like “current_user->display_name” that seems to work just fine, but there no documentation on this on the plugins part. There is however a page on this in the WordPress documentation. All and all, nice plugin, could have been more clear with proper documentation.

   If you’re a developer this plugin will save you a bunch of time. Instead of dealing with a bunch of code to add extra user profile fields, this plugin provides a neat interface. You can then access the metadata within your theme or plugin like you normally would.

   Works easily in conjunction with Gravity Forms User Registration and adds the additional user data properly to the users-meta table and displays it properly on the users profile page. Easy to work with and configure.
