Biggest opportunity: Swap “form”, “login” and “member” for “wp login form”, “login form” and “wp login”. “form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wp login form” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “login form” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “member” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wp login” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →6.0%
of downloads still active
At least 7K of 116.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,668 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms 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 2 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.

There is no error trapping if login fails, it defaults to the standard login screen instead of looping back to retry. This seems to be an ongoing requests for a number of years. Also there is a formatting error for lost password label and the logout is text and not a button as per the login button. If these were fixed I would happily give the plugin a 5 star.

This plugin is rock solid, it just works out of the box without any requirements of paying for a premium version (most others plugins require premium for having some extra features).

It produces a clean markup with classes but doesn’t add any CSS, allowing you to style the form to your needs.
