Biggest opportunity: Swap “custom login”, “woocommerce login” and “login customizer” for “land”, “login background” and “wordpress login logo”. “custom login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “land” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “login background” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “login customizer” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “wordpress login logo” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 115.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,476 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “custom login”, “woocommerce login” and “login customizer” for “land”, “login background” and “wordpress login logo”. “custom login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “land” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “login background” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “login customizer” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “wordpress login logo” sits at #24 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 “login customizer”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Should just do the redirection on login, but has a bunch of hacky layout styling and other features that are both over the top and badly implemented. Breaks the layout of the login page and it seems like you can’t disable them.

I am developing a big site for a non-profit organisation with many pages, multiple levels of menu and forms. Sky Login Redirect saved the day. It made the crucial difference to a user’s navigation experience as it allowed a user to login and stay on the page. Without it user journey would be a huge problem. Most appreciated and thank you.

This plugins is the worst I had used ever. There is nothing for free users.All have pro, pro and pro.

I use this plugin together with events manager to assure that my users stay on the selected page after they logged in to insert new events or manage existing events or bookings. This works now for some years fine. With one of the recent updates I got some errors. I used the forum to contact the plugin developer. He reacted really fast. After having described the effect, he published a new, corrected version only a few days later. Now everything works again as expected. Thanks for this fast and effective support, Matt!
