Biggest opportunity: “delete user”, “user” and “user management” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 800 of 37.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| deleter | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| user deleter your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| inactive user your tag | #20 | #21 | down 4 |
| delete user your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| user your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| user management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “delete user”, “user” and “user management” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “deleter”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

I was so excited to find this plugin! But maybe its not working with my version of wordpress? (latest on this date)Whichever filter I set, it returns no users. Whereas I’m certain I have several thousand fake user accounts…. I’ll be very happy to change my review if it works!

Hmm, it is useful but not working the way I think it is supposed to.5000 record(s) are shown, I click mark all, I click delete all marked users -> 985 users are being deleted. Still better than doing it without the plugin but why cant I delete all (~20k) users being found with the flags I selected, or at lest the 5000 I had marked?Anyhow, give it a try maybe it works for you.Also, it is free so big thanks to the creator.

The plugin is great.I installed it to delete all my inactive users (users who have not logged in over 12 months).But in order to find those users I have to install the plugin WP Last Login.But this plugin only counts all logins after the day of the installation.So it does not really make sense to find the “sleeping Users”.Is there another, better way to find all the inactive users?Thanks for your help.

This plugin is great, it does what is expected of it. All features are 100% working.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ EugeneBos6.1y ago
No filters work with my WP and you dont have to show all 16k users on the confirmation page. As well would be cool to delete all 16k at once, but the plugin cant delete more than 2.8k at once… But thx, took me just 10 mins to remove 16k. This topic was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by EugeneBos.

The Inactive User Deleter plugin for WordPress helped me purge the userlist of one of my websites. I was able to weed out the spammers and clean up my database at the same time. Thank you very much! A note to those who plan to download it: please read and understand the options carefully. In the options, “AND” is different from “OR” — AND means all situations should be present, or means one of these situations. If you’re looking to save users with published posts or approved comments, it would help to sort the list based on posts or comments to the users listed according to the number of posts or comments they made.
