Login as User or Customer — 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 · 41% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   Plugin states “The ability to access any user account without having the user password (Just click the button Login as in the user’s list)” I wanted to use this to test out permissions for certain groups.. Well that turned out to be a big waste of time. Gotta upgrade to the “Pro” version to do the very thing this plugin is claiming to do.

   The description does not contain anything regarding paid version that needs to view all users or its free versions limitations.

   Wanted to test it out with a customer who is having problems with his account but when I tried to use it it just said upgrade to pro. UPDATE: The trial lets you test the plugin with your last 10 customers. If you buy the Pro version it should be a very useful tool. This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by srhog.
