of downloads still active
At least 80 of 13.5K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 36 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
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “rebrand”, “platform” and “wpmu” (#14, #20 and #20 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “80+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 90.
At the current install trend, crossing 90+ in roughly 23 days.

I’ve been using UM for a little over a month now and it’s been great and helpful for my new move into multisite wordpress. Dave has also been very helpful and quick to respond to support requests and help me solve problems I’ve stumbled upon.

It’s an amazing plugin! Huge thanks to the developer who decided to keep it alive and is doing an absolutely fantastic job. Thank you so, so much, man! 🙌

I’m using this to offer my first WaaS tool. Set up was a breeze and developer is great for quick responses to questions.

I have been really impressed with the pace of development, the attention to the code quality and the responsiveness of the plugin author! This has gone way over and beyond what WP Ultimo had on offer when the development ceased. Really loving the new integrations especially the Enhance web hosting panel, which I requested via GitHub and the author kindly and expertly implemented – thank you for that. I really wish the author the very best with this plugin because in my opinion this really is the Ultimate Multisite plugin in the WordPress repository

As a user of previous versions, I’ve noticed that since the project went open source and is now community-driven, Ultimate Multisite has reached a remarkable level of quality. It’s by far the best multisite plugin I’ve used in a long time: stable, well-structured, and truly designed for serious projects. It’s exactly the tool I’ve been waiting for for years to build a reliable and scalable platform. I highly recommend it.

Дуже крутий плагін для вордпрес. Я давно щось подібне шукав, але на вордпрес нічого не було. Автор залюбки додав мій переклад на українську мову. Маю надію що згодом можна буде інтегрувати і інші сервіси в цей плагін по тіпу оплат або чогось іншого саме для України. По функціоналу дуже крутий плагін, можливість розподіляти ролі, права та доступи з ресурсами. Мені для мого проекту цього точно не вистачало.
