of downloads still active
At least 5K of 193K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,317 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media 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 5 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.

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
- Already on top for “staff”, “showcase team” and “staff list”. #2, #3 and #3 without listing them. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

I’ve been using WP Team Pro for a few years, and it’s been great. For the first time ever, I had a small problem, and I contacted support. Within a couple of hours, they replied to me with very concise, understandable, and friendly instructions to fix the issue. And best of all, they worked! You just don’t get support like this any more, and I was so impressed.

I screened several plugins when sourcing something for a particular function I had in mind and chose this one. I have the Pro version and it works really well and is easy to install and setup. I did need to raise a ticket, but only because I wasn’t sure how to proceed with one aspect of the tool and I got a response in minutes and my issue was sorted!
