Biggest opportunity: Swap “kyc”, “age verification” and “age gate” for “token”, “vape” and “quality assurance”. “kyc” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “token” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “age verification” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “vape” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “age gate” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “quality assurance” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.1%

of downloads still active

At least 30 of 51.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 60 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.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

9 of the last 12 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

    I have looked into all the plugins for KYC on WordPress, and TOT is by far the best way to do so. It does take a little bit of setup to get integrated with your site, but, once done, is the best and easiest way to do this very complicated process. Highly recommended.

    We installed the plugin, we had questions and went to their website, then they asked for information before answering, where they refused to offer any information before taking more details about our platforms, claiming that is a trust-building issue argument which we do not buy. That was enough for us to uninstall and move to the next plugin. This is our experience, so good luck with others to share more information with you.

    This was the perfect solution for age restricted e-commerce. Super quick age and ID verification. The support and implementation team are great to work with as well!

    I installed it and clicked on the General Settings link, then clicked on the Start Configuring button, and all I get is a “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.”

    After a lot of research, I found that when themes and plugins build a “verified user” feature, the solution is never quite right — Token of Trust is the exception. After trying Ultimate Member’s Verified User Extension and RentalsClub for the WP Rentals theme, I realized how cumbersome verification processes could be for both admins and users of a site. While all the options I explored had a nice visual interface for communicating the verified status of my users, they didn’t handle the verification process for evaluating new user accounts in a smooth, automated, and safe way. Some of the approaches I found even enabled users to upload their identification documents to WordPress, but I never felt comfortable storing sensitive personal data on our WordPress site — it introduced more liability than I wanted to deal with. And even if we had access to those identity documents, I thought “how will I ever have the time to accurately review the authenticity of every document?” I realized that this wasn’t an easy problem to solve and that it was going to require a lot of custom development to build the right solution. Fortunately, I learned about Token of Trust’s platform for handling all of the concerns I had been running into. Their platform does both the deep automated analysis of user identities while also offering visual interface for communicating the verification status of every user. Best of all, they have a WP Plugin that saved our developers months of integration effort. We’ve been using the Token of Trust platform and their plugin for over a year on our vacation rental booking website and I’ve been impressed with the constant flow of improvements. I thought it was great to begin with and it just keeps getting better!
