Sidebar Login Widget

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   It was impossible for me to login with this widget. By the way I use also the plugin Ultimate Member. When i try to login, the login page from Ultimate Member was shown. It was only possible to login with this page. If I was logged in as a normal User (not ADMIN), the “profil” link guides to …/wp-admin/profile.php?!? Only selection what should be shown is possible. If you would like to have a customized register page you have to modify ../wp-login.php?action=register. That will be overwritten when you update your theme. hmmmmm…….. Maybe for beginners without customization it will work. For me not usable. greetings JuS This topic was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by jus66.
