User Upgrade Capability

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. 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   We’ve been using this plugin from the start of our website, and it’s made it much easier to organize our member list, add roles to clarify, keep track of existing membership and those who have expired, and generally make sure everyone is cared for. Thank you so much for creating this very useful and easy to use plugin that fills a real need in the structure of WP.

   Works great for where you want to extend a “parent site” with a “sub-site” and control who has access by maintaining the parent site only. If your happy with allocating new capabilities to roles and users this plugin can be a great help. This topic was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by Justin Fletcher.
