Biggest opportunity: “account”, “support” 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.

of downloads still active

At least 800 of 13.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 628 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.

    I love this idea from the start. Wrote an article with detail step by step about “How to ask for support securely“. The plugin was broken on WordPress version 4.8, but Drew fixed it within a day. Super cook, its a must have plugin. This topic was modified 9 years ago by M Asif Rahman.

    This plugin solves the common problem of temporary user accounts and the hassles associated with creating and managing them for support teams. It works as advertised and is developed by a solid developer. Highly recommended.
