Biggest opportunity: “register”, “registration” and “subscribe” 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 90 of 45.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,478 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.6.1, well behind 7.1.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

The plugin does not send emails to subscribers or the Admin even though the post displays ‘notification sent.’ I am switching to another plugin.

Functionality and flexibility to provide a great subscription process, where it works well and provides the ability to personalize messaging.

Hey it works, but the messages are not great English, Post templates are pretty ugly out of the box, subscribe/unsubscribe is a bit clunky.

Due to the unresolved dublicate email problem, I uninstalled this plugin and went with Subscribe2 instead.

I had the Follow plugin but when I went and used WP Touch it was annoying and wouldn’t leave the screen. This widget has everything I need and so far I love it. One exception: I wish there was a weekly or monthly digest!

I tried to use this plugin on my page. But it is a kind of ridiculuous that the box where subscribers were supposed to enter their email address was not shown up. How strange!!!
