Biggest opportunity: Swap “login with wordpress” and “sso” for “saml” and “oidc”. “login with wordpress” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “saml” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sso” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “oidc” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.5%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 39.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,476 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.
This plugin shipped 7 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “login with wordpress” and “sso” for “saml” and “oidc”. “login with wordpress” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “saml” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sso” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “oidc” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “sso”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “600+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 13 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 600.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles20 of the last 29 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

The team at MiniOrgange have provided the best support from a plugin I have experienced. I had technical challenges on my end and they were about to address them the same day via a phone call or Google Meet. The plugin itself was very easy to figure out and get started. I highly recommend this WordPress IDP plugin from MiniOrange.

You know a thing or two about websites. Because you’ve created a WordPress website and you’re here. Then you realise you need a WordPress IDP SSO plug-in. To make things seamless. What you realise next, is that you don’t just need any WordPress IDP SSO plug-in, you need the one by miniOrange. Why? Because they offer great support. Willing to jump on a call at a moments notice and help guide you.

Very good troubleshooting from Shubham Kolte, who was helpful in resolving a configuration issue. The plugin now appears to be working exactly as intended in our environment.

Our experience with Mini Orange has been AMAZING!!!! We have used their single sign on as well as many other WordPress services for over 4 years!!!It was truly a first class experience! The communication with the team is excellent and they are very professional! If there were any issues that ever came up they got on phone and zoom calls to assist or team! They are on it with all hands on deck!! Our only reason for leaving is because we have updated and moved to a completely new system that does not require there services. If it wasn’t for that we would still be using there services!!! I want to give special flowers to a few individuals. If you get a chance to work with any of these team members in any capacity just know you will be well taking care of! Thank you Mohini,Pawar Vikram, Singh, Kolte and Nabhishek! You all are awesome, thanks for an incredible service and user experience! Rashard Duncan- Co-founder Always A Student LLC

Vikram and the team here has been extremely helpful in all aspects of seeting this up and support. MiniOrange WordPress is workfing perfectly.

We’ve been using the miniOrange WordPress IDP SSO plug-in for a couple of years now and it’s been working great to allow our users to sign in on our WordPress site and then access our Service Provider site for a computationally-intense service. About a year ago we needed an enhancement to the plug-in to accommodate WooCommerce subscriptions and the miniOrange team met with us to understand exactly what we needed and coded up a corresponding plug-in to meet that need. We had a Zoom session so they could walk me through the installation and it worked right out of the box. Two weeks ago, we needed another enhancement and the miniOrange team got right on it and delivered a modified plug-in at no charge that solved our problem. Then, today, I had a self-inflicted problem which caused their plug-in to malfunction. I reached out to the support team and even though it was the middle of the night in India, Shubham Kolte got right on a Zoom session with me and got me back up and running. That’s what I call FIRST CLASS support!

The plugin is the market leader and offers all the necessary features. I think most people know that. But what’s really remarkable is that the support staff is incredibly helpful and even accommodates special requests. Truly great. The team helped me tremendously with my project, and I can wholeheartedly recommend the plugin and the company.
