How it's measured →2.8%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 21.8K 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 4 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.

Please update your plugin to support the latest php versions. The plugin is only working with php up to 7.4 which is not supported anymore.

Probably it’s the best plugin with such a functional that I tested. It’s great that this plugin allows you to so deeply customize the users roles on the site
