MemberHero – Simple User Registration & Login

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.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   Installed plugin to test, immediately after activating the plugin, my site refused to load. I removed the plugin with SSH and found that it had created 3000 post pages. After removing those pages in batches of 250 at a time, I think that I will search for a different plugin. I did not attempt to contact support so I can’t comment on the level of support that the developer offers but wanted to offer my review as a word of warning.

   Did not work on my site but customer service was top notch. I bought the pro version. I installed the plugin, when I entered the API it looped forever. I then was not able to access my website anymore. I had to remove the plugin from the ftp. I was offered to try to fix it but choose a refund instead.

   It runs very well with many other plugins and the support is very fast and efficient.

   This plugin does exactly what it says, but in reality it does so much more. Sometimes you just NEED to gather extra user info, and Simple User Registration handles it like a charm. There’s also everything else the plugin supports (such as login redirects and custom email templates for new registrations). All in all, it’s a neat little gem that takes care of multiple things all at once. All from one single plugin. Highly recommended.

   I would like to know how to add some logic to option selection inputs. For example: Select State: Wisconsin Select City (only shown if Wisconsin is selected): Madison, Milwaukee. Thanks for your plugin. I love it!
