Biggest opportunity: “support”, “user management” and “users” 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 1K of 24.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 630 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Chat & Support 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| support your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| user management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| users your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| welcome email your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

Since I set up new members/users through the database, they do not register so the welcome email is not triggered to send. With this simple plugin, I can send/resend the welcome emails manually from the Users record. Regarding a rating/comment about the reset password link not being set, please note that this plugin does not affect the content of the email. For that you will need to customize the email either through coding or another plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/welcome-email/

Put into the separate column a button I do not understand in programming – did as I knew – added to the end of the plugin (before “}”) //* ==START== Колонка в пользователях для просмотра АКТИВИРОВАННІХ EMAIL *// add_filter( 'manage_users_columns', 'reg_confirm_column_0001' ); function reg_confirm_column_0001( $column ) { $column['reg_confirm_column'] = 'Статус Регистрации'; return $column; } // создаем новую колонку // Колонка только создается и будет пустая add_filter('manage_users_columns', 'reg_confirm_column_add_0002', 4); function reg_confirm_column_add_0002( $columns ){ $num = 3; // после какой по счету колонки вставлять новые $new_columns = array( 'reg_confirm_column' => 'Статус Регистрации', ); return array_slice( $columns, 0, $num ) + $new_columns + array_slice( $columns, $num ); } // заполняем колонку данными add_filter( 'manage_users_custom_column', 'reg_confirm_column_add_data_0003', 10, 3 ); function reg_confirm_column_add_data_0003( $val, $column_name, $user_id ){ // global $wpdb; $user_info = get_userdata($user_id); switch ($column_name) { case 'reg_confirm_column' : if ($user_info->user_activation_key){ $link = esc_url( wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'resend_welcome_email', 'user_id' => $user_id, ), '' ), "send_welcome_email_{$user_id}" ) ); return "Не Активирован <a href=" .$link .">Send New Welcome</a>"; }else{ return "Активирован "; } break; default: } return $val; } //* ==END== Колонка в пользователях для просмотра АКТИВИРОВАННІХ EMAIL *// This topic was modified 8 years, 2 months ago by kolshix.

I’m not a programmer or anything like that so i just look at the functionality and does it work and for what i needed it worked brilliantly – great plugin, thanks.

This sends the emails, but unfortunately they are missing the link to reset the password; it’s just blank where the url should be.
