Biggest opportunity: “customized”, “frontend” and “login” 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 10 of 5.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,477 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.0, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| customized your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| frontend your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| login your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| styled your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| user management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

This plugin is exactly what I was looking for – it is easy for me as admin to install and configure and the users to use. Great work and integrates well into different themes!

This has to be the far best frontend login-plugin there is. And I have tried alot of plugins and none of them fullfilled my needs like this one. I even translated it into Danish and the help from the author to get it installed has been good. So if your are looking for a very well working frontend plugin, this is the one to get.

The author is as shady as can be. The plugin doesn’t provide any additional features than the ones already found in WordPress. Any additional benefits are locked up and inaccessible. There’s nothing in the plugin or on the site that tells you how to unlock the features. There’s no list of “Pro” version features on the site and no pricing. This plugin shouldn’t even be in the repository.
