Biggest opportunity: Swap “employee”, “staff” and “staff directory” for “ngo”, “startups” and “showcase”. “employee” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “ngo” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “staff” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “startups” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “staff directory” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “showcase” sits at #13 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 →1.8%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 111.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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 3 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
- Swap “employee”, “staff” and “staff directory” for “ngo”, “startups” and “showcase”. “employee” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “ngo” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “staff” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “startups” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “staff directory” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “showcase” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “employee”. Down 5 places since 2026-09-30, now #23. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “staff directory”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

thank for your apps

When the plugin caused an issue with the font awesome icons on our site, I sent a request to support. I was surprised to get a prompt response and they got us a new version that solved the problem within a day. Impressive support.

Works as expected and just what I needed for our charity website. Thanks.

Do not purchase this plugin. it has been broken for awhile now. You can’t upgrade from version 2.0.3. It will break your site. And the support team is unresponsive in helping to fix it.

Lots of people are saying there data is gone but it’s not entirely true. They change the name of the custom post type from from tshowcase to team_mf and did not make it backwards compatible. So the entries are still in your database but the custom post type is no longer being registered or accessed. Should be an easy fix for them.

Like others – this plug-in automatically updated and then proceeded to not transfer any of the data that was connected to the old plugin. Lots of work to do to fix this….

Worst plugin I have seen ever, after updating to 2.3 version I have lost all my data. I have around 1000 entries before updating and lost everything, even categories also lost and name of short-code is also changed which this plugin provides. After updating this plugin to new version this plugin is completely changed, the author of this plugin and url all things are changed. Even when I rollback this plugin to old version then, previous version 2.2.6 is completely removed from there. This is the main culprit, the plugin should maintain last version so that if users have problem in new version then they can rollback the version.This is worst user experience they should at-least notify to admins via email about new version if all things is going to be changed.I believe many user lost there data due to this.

Just like the person in Dec. 2023, this latest 2.3 update deactivated the plugin and deleted ALL of our teams data. Why have you failed to resolve this problem?! I assume we now have to start it again from scratch – unless there’s a fix?
