WP Steam Auth

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 · 100% run the current release. 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.

   Yes it works, but I want to do a feature request(IDK if I’ll get any response as last update of plugin was 11 months ago but let’s try). Soooo… Is possible an update adding an option like “if it’s the first user login with that steam account ask to put an e-mail adress to create the account”? Like websites that allow you to log-in with google+/facebook but they need some more info to complete registration. Would an option like that possible? Thanks for reading.

   I’ve got the same problem with this guy: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-500-21/ And I figured that the guy’s thread is abandoned by the plugin author. Basically 500 internal error with the default settings, and when doing the plugin author’s suggestions, I got rid of the 500 internal error but it’s still not working (not able to login with steam).

   I was planning to make new website with steam information. I was looking for this kind of plugin to handle user information. It’s not even ver 1, but it is still doing good job. Thanks
