Fast User Switching

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

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   Sometimes it’s working and sometimes it’s not. – The option to empty the cart is not working neither. – I cannot select the right roles to allow to switch, it is always picking the first (alphabetical wise) role – There is no support anymore

   It works!!! Better than the first one as you can switch users from the admin bar. Thanks so much for this!

   I was having problems with the popular User Switching plugin. Was searching for an alternative. And it seems I have found a better alternative in this Fast User Switching plugin. Does the job very well and also having extra features like ‘recently switched users’, ‘switch by searching a user id’, ‘switch from Woo-commerce order page’ etc. Very useful plugin without fuss.

   This is a great quick tool to have as an admin! Saves so much time to just switch from the admin bar.

   “user switching” plugin works, but doesn’t have many settings and doesn’t bundle a quick switch feature in the admin bar. This one does, and it works pretty well.

   Works flawlessly (even in maintenance mode). If you need the perfect implementation of user switching. For customer service or any other role you choose, this is the best (currently the ONLY) adequate solution I’ve found. This is a developer that needs to be encouraged! So if you like this software as much as I do, donate! He deserves it~
