Biggest opportunity: Swap “responsive”, “shortcode” and “teams” for “employees”, “bio” and “bios”. “responsive” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “employees” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bio” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “teams” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “bios” sits at #14 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 →2.6%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 778.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 1 release 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 “responsive”, “shortcode” and “teams” for “employees”, “bio” and “bios”. “responsive” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “employees” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bio” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “teams” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “bios” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “teams”. Down 6 places since 2026-09-21, now #17. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “team”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

PRO doesn’t add that much value, actually less than I expected. Default sorting by name; impossible. Export/Import teams or even multiple employees; impossible. Adding someone to multiple teams; not by default. Only thing you can do is copy/paste. Updating: Remember that you can’t add a person to multiple teams? Well, that also means that if you need to update one person… you’ll have to do that in all teams seperatly. Great plugin up to 10-20 members per team and 3 teams in general but…. Yeah I’m at 40 teams with 200+ people and to manage that is a bit of a handful with this plugin. And it could be so simple. Add persons first (instead of first adding teams) and then assign the person to one or more teams. I can’t imagine this reverse way of managing the plugin could be so complicated.

You cannot use html in Description/biography. It used to be possible to do this.

I love this plugin! it was exactly what I was looking for. The client wanted awkwardly long bios, so I searched for a plugin with the option to show more info on click. This one does it perfectly, looks great, and was really simple to set up. When I had a query Emma responded really quickly and helped me out. It was really nice to feel that I was talking to an actual person. Thanks guys! This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by caro42.
