Simple User Listing

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 74% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   We needed a simple Members directory on our website, which uses MemberPress. For some unknowable reason, MemberPress have no directory feature, and recommend you use Formidable Forms. The Elite version of Formidable Forms may have an elegant user directory, but at $599 a year the price is ridiculous. Not to mention all the unwanted plugin bloat I’d get when all I want is a simple directory. Enter this neat little lightweight plugin. An hour of work styling and tweaking the code and hey presto I have a directory. If you are cleverer than me, you can probably install and tweak it in 5 minutes.

   Tried a bunch of ‘hi profile’ plugins and finally settled on this. It’s great and fully customisable.

   This is exactly what I needed for a project. Found one issue in the way I was using it, and the author was great at responding and addressing it quickly. I also added in the (free) Pagenavi plugin per author’s documentation, which made the functionality even better. Thanks so much for creating and supporting this plugin!

   Been searching this for a while – thank you! Is there a way to make them clickable, so clicking would take you through to the Author’s profile page?
