Biggest opportunity: Add “high performance”, “social networking” and “high” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #4 and #6 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →4.5%
of downloads still active
At least 8K of 178.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Education plugin keeps 1.1%, across 176 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Education plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 27 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Add “high performance”, “social networking” and “high” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #4 and #6 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “lms”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

The WPManageNinja team is top-tier. I recently needed a specific privacy modification for a professional coaching client portal, and their support staff (Ruman Ahmed) went above and beyond to write a custom solution for me right away. I’ve formally submitted a request to their R&D team to turn this solution into a native core setting. Adding a simple, one-click “Stealth Onboarding” privacy toggle to force global username displays would make FluentCommunity the absolute industry standard for high-privacy niches, medical coaching, and enterprise portals. Plus, it takes the pressure off of newbies to the platform who do not have much tech experience, ensuring a seamless, worry-free signup right from day one. If you want a modern, fast community platform backed by a development team that actually listens to its users, FluentCommunity is it. Highly recommended!

We have build our community for NibWP.com with FluentCommunity using our NibWP -FluentCommunity integration. The software is, as all other Fluent solutions, full with options, high level of configurability and integration options.

This is not only a great plugin but the support is first class too! I’ve only ever experienced fast and helpful support. Thank you!

At the risk of sounding liek Tina Turner. LOL! Fluent Community is better than all the rest! I have tried and tested so many community plugins. This is just amazing! My favourite is the integrations it has with FluentCRM and Fluent Forms. Well, the whole Fluent eco system. I have been able to automate so many functions! Saves me hours of time. Meaning I have not needed to hire a VA to help me run the comunity. Just amazing.

Outstanding support experience. The team was quick to respond, identified the issue efficiently, and provided a clear solution. Everything works perfectly now. I really appreciate the fast and professional help – thank you!

I’ve had a great experience using the FluentAuth plugin. It’s easy to set up, works smoothly, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do without any headaches. What really stood out to me, though, was the customer service—absolutely outstanding. The support team was quick to respond, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful in resolving my questions. It’s clear they care about their users. Highly recommend this plugin to anyone looking for a reliable authentication solution!

That really could be the whole review. EVERYTHING WORKS. It works well, it’s logically organized, attractive, well-documented, and it has multiple extensions so that you can create a robust membership community. The mobile version is outstanding. Save it to your phone’s home page and you wouldn’t know it wasn’t a native app. I’ve tried everything and this is by far the best out-of-the-box solution. If you’re looking at Circle, buy this instead.
