Biggest opportunity: Swap “login”, “member” and “members” for “after”, “login redirect” and “memberships”. “login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “after” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “member” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “login redirect” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “members” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “memberships” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →4.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 242.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,477 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 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “login”, “member” and “members” for “after”, “login redirect” and “memberships”. “login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “after” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “member” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “login redirect” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “members” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “memberships” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “redirection”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

What can I not like? Works as needed and the author shares it for free:)

In general: The plug-in is a great add-on for using simple membership plug-in and it works. After creating new editor accounts I saw that using these accounts in the wp-admin login the plug-in seems to cause an error after logging in. Nevertheless the user is still logged in. When I disabled the plug-in the error was gone. After enabling againg the error occurred again. I will uninstall the plug-in until this issue is solved. Until then only two stars.

It works as described, but will not work with the Simple Membership Custom Message. So I can’t customize the message, I have to use the default to use this plugin.
