New User Approve

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 · 62% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   I’ve been using this plugin for a long time and it’s always worked great for me and the developers always respond quickly with any help you need or issues you may have.

   First of all, the product worked great. it has all the features I was looking for. I didn’t have any issues but when I had questions the developer Uzair Hanif would respond right away. When my client changed their operating procedure and we no longer needed the plugin Muddasir Hayat gave me a refund for the unused time, no questions asked and no problems. Another big plugin maker wouldn’t give a a refund, even though it was only two days after renewal. I really appreciate that kind of business.

   One of my clients has been using this plugin for years with an extra extension that adds extra functionality that we needed, and it has been running problem-free. Lately, there have been big changes in this plugin, which bring in optional paid pro functionality. Some of this functionality was conflicting with our extra functionality, which is also an optional paid plugin and was added a long time ago. I reached out to support with this issue, and within a few days, with some testing, we were able to squash all bugs, and the plugin is working well again. Support was very helpful and showed a high interest in solving this problem. Thanks to the support assistant Muddasir Hayat, and developer Uzair Hanif for all the help and the rest of the team for such a great product!

   I wanted a way to better handle user account requests (a.k.a., registration) on our website. New User Approve appeared to be and is definitely an awesome plugin for our website. I love that I can modify all the WP messages regarding account requests and login. I have requested support a few times and the support department is exemplary. My most recent request for help resulting in me learning about their whitelist and blacklist domain options. Our site has been receiving spam account requests and the blacklist option is just what we needed.
