User Taxonomies

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

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.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #19,000 to #20,000, alongside the other plugins at 60+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

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.

Crossed into this band 4 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 70% of the way through.

   The second parameter from function register_taxonomy() can also be an array. So I modified the script on line 55: // Only modify user taxonomies, everything else can stay as is if(is_array($object)) { if(!in_array('user', $object)) return; } else { if($object != 'user') return; }

   Really nice plugin! I modified it a little bit to accommodate multiple selection. 1. Replaced the radiobutton field with following checkbox as shown below <input type="checkbox" name="<?php echo $key ?>[]" id="<?php echo "{$key}-{$term->slug}" ?>" value="<?php echo $term->slug ?>" <?php checked(true, is_object_in_term($user->ID, $key, $term)) ?> /> 2. Updated save_profile function as shown below $terms = (array) $_POST[$key]; wp_set_object_terms($user_id, $terms, $key, false); I love this plugin!
