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.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Fantastic plugin – one of the very few to have the hard work done and allow for user taxonomies. Works really well managing on the frontend & backend.

Did nothing, LOL, it installs, but you can’t do anything with it. Tags did NOT show up in the user’s Sorting Column list, so there’s no real point to using it. LOL Also, you can NOT bulk add tags to user, but since Tags don’t appear in the Column List for sorting… well you get the point… unless. UPDATE! It’s also converting my PHP ‘ ” character to ASCII, not cool. lol This topic was modified 4 years, 6 months ago by Duke Snoogens.

Hello Umesh, I have installed the user tag plugin – 1.2.6 There is one issue in plugin. When you change the name of any taxonomy and then try to go inside the taxonomy to add or remove tags, you can not enter. I have debugged and found the solution in. wp-content\plugins\user-tags\lib\class-ut-user-tags-list.php line 113 changed the line from $taxonomy_slug = ut_taxonomy_name( $item[‘name’] ); to $taxonomy_slug = ut_taxonomy_name( $item[‘slug’] );

I am using the User Tags plug-in on a multi-author website, with contributors from all over the globe. User Tags comes in handy to generate a tag cloud for countries of residence, for languages spoken and for topics of interest. It adds another navigation method to a website and my website visitors love the added functionality. The taxonomies created by User Tags can be displayed using the default Tag Cloud sidebar widget. Support by plug-in developer Umesh Kumar is fast, friendly, to the point and of an outstanding quality level. Thank you, Umesh!
