Biggest opportunity: Add “saml” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 0 listed it's a slot worth spending.
Install conversion
How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 10.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,782 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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.

This product works great, is easy to setup and has all the features someone would expect for an Enterprise level integration. But most of all, support is excellent and responsive.

Searching for ways to integrate SSO into WordPress, there are options to chose from, however, SAML SSO plugin far exceed what I visioned setup to be. Their website was up-to-date, provided amazing visuals to follow along, and provide configs to setup with your provider to make the process that much easier. Afterwards, the setup as simple as, uploading the config file and your site is connected! I would also like to note how incredible the support is. I always got a response well within 24 hours and they went above and beyond in ensuring I was satisfied with how everything was setup. I also love how the plugin does not force you into immediately paying for expensive plans, when testing it out. The pricing at the time of writing, is also incredibly fair. It transparent straight forward pricing without several ‘addons’ to get basic features which get expensive fast with other options out there.

Reviewed a number of tools in the space. Prices were either exorbitant or the tools simply did not work. SAML SSO Login – WP Single Sign On from Keywoot was a simple install with great support. We were able to get first class support and had it up and running with our IdP in less than an hour (much less actually).First class product, first class team. This should be your goto solution for WordPress SSO – don’t look further, don’t try to do it yourself. The tools work, Keywoot keeps everything current for you and extremely affordable even on a tight budget. This topic was modified 11 months, 2 weeks ago by jctnutech.
