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.

4.1%

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

63/100

Maintenance 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.

    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/

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