Biggest opportunity: Swap “love” for “private messaging”. “love” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “private messaging” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.2%

of downloads still active

At least 200 of 96.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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 2 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.

    I spent weeks trying to get this plugin and the theme Twenty Seventeen configured. I followed all the manuals and you tube videos and some of it worked but some is not sufficient. I appealed to the developer and the community, but nothing. The developer seems to have disabled the test profiles but has refused to make a comment. No doubt this plugin will get 0/10 This topic was modified 1 month ago by zaabara.

    Hallo Ich habe die Premium Version von diesem Plugin gekauft aber ich würde ihnen Noch ein Paar Dinge vorschlagen die evtl beim Nächsten Update eingebaut werden könnten und zwar– Bild Zuschneiden mit vorschau für die Auswahl vom Hauptprofil Avatar – Eine Option wo man einstellen kann ob der Benutzer das Passwort ändern kann oder nicht, Weil ich benutze nebenbei Buddypress und ein Forum. – Einstellbares Menü? – Wenn man eine Private Nachricht bekommt sollte man auch eine E-mail bekommen können. Ansonsten ist das Plugin sehr gut.
