Biggest opportunity: “community”, “discussion” and “forum” 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 500 of 33.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| community your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| discussion your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| forum your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| forums your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

requires installation of ForumWP to function. It comes in a free version that does not allow Post Moderation, photos, subscription all which are very vital to a functioning Forum. Or pay $120 a year for it.

This is a paid plugin. Why is it in here? Also showing on free extension page on the website.

I activate the plugin and a notice shows up saying I have to activate the plugin. What just I do? Uninstall now.

Deux jours à installer reinstaller et tenter de faire fonctionner ce plugin !. Le mieux est d’indiquer dès le départ que c’est une version qui ne fonctionne qu’avec Ultimate Member payant au lieu de faire perdre du temps à tout le monde à essayer de l’installer. Très déçu et DÉGOUTÉ !!. 🙁 This topic was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by pacodev.

This is a paid plugin. It should not be with the WordPress free plugins.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Skylabb6.7y ago
Correct me if I’m wrong. It is expected that all plugins listed on WP platform to work at least with some basic functions. What’s the point of listing a plugin here that requires another commercial plugin and a paid subscription from the author to work beside using this platform as a free marketing tool? You get free marketing, so at least offer something free in return, no? This topic was modified 6 years, 4 months ago by Skylabb.
