Login as User

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 · 54% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   For development and testing, login as user is an essential tool. The pro version offers even more utility and flexibility. The best part is the development team behind it; only a few hours after reporting a bug that caused our site trouble, they had a PR for us to try.

   Our company’s support team uses this plugin every day to assist customers who don’t always have access to their accounts. Support is fantastic! Recently, we had an issue with a plugin conflict and the developers put the time/effort in to fix it for us.

   Although I only contacted the support one time on the weekend, I was impressed firstly by the fact they replied on the weekend and how accurate their diagnostic was. The issue was a simple settings that I had overlooked in the plugin but it was resolved on the same day. Not to mention its a great plugin.

   WOW! You have no business making a plugin THIS GOOD! I have a growing directory website where making changes to a listing is like administrative acrobatics or a phone-based tech support endurance challenge. NO MORE! Now I can just log in as the user having the issue and do it myself! This saves me SO MUCH TIME! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!

   After logging in as a user, tried to go back to admin by clicking on the “Go back to admin as xxxxxx” but nothing happens, just a white box appears on the screen. Have to click on log out in that user admin and log back in as admin. This topic was modified 1 year, 1 month ago by bperd.
