Biggest opportunity: Swap “google login” for “yahoo”. “google login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “yahoo” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 143.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,277 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 8 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

28 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 11 listed. 17 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “google login” for “yahoo”. “google login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “yahoo” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “facebook login”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Very little documentation and support, missing the correct functions to actually work.

The plugin extension which is free was working, other plugins using social login are paid but here, it is actually free! please update continuously this plugin, and also i plan to get some addons for my site!

The installation process was straight forward and easy setup. Surprisingly, after complete setup, pages created by the plugin don’t load. I was able to only see the login screen from the admin profile. Recaptcha doesn’t work properly although setup properly. The profile and account pages don’t load.

I’ve been looking for ages for a login/signup plugin that just gets the job done. And after 20+ plugins and days wasted I’m finally here. Others would charge expensive price for this. please continue updating this plugin.
