User Admin Simplifier

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 · 22% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Perfect for basic usage! Not updated since 2 years ago (!!) but works like a charm! Way easier than capabilities and user roles settings.

   Great job. Finally managed to disable the woocommerce settings tab for the product manager role.

   FIVE Stars for this Fantastic plugin. ============= I typically do not post a review, but I HAD to this time. So many of the other “User Role” plugins only allow you to manipulate roles that are NON-Admin. Which then causes a problem when the client calls and wants to know why their role is not showing a status of “Admin”. With THIS plugin we can now show them that they ARE an “Admin without having to tell them they are actually restricted. Thanks for this one.
