WP User Activity

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 · 92% 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.

   as @pavelword says on August 30, 2021 I don´t write reviews often, and almost never negative ones. But this plugin is coded in such a way that it logs the user activity into the wp_posts table. The same table, that you want to have as clean as possible will end up absolutely taken over by this plugin. Question to the developer: why doesn´t your plugin use separate table? To understand: I inherited a wordpress instance, where the wp_posts database grew to be over 250 MB, of the 575.652 entries were 560.000 entries generated by this plugin! This will of course affect the overall speed. It has taken me hours to find why my wp_posts table is so bloated. for anyone searching: this plugin adds new rows into the following table: wp_posts column: post-type entry: activity my review: After installing that plugin and I write a .httpdocs to block ousite logins at wp-admin folder it cant works. everyday hundreds of activity I think the developer use th secret user names to show us activity works fine.. I THINK NO

   Works fine, integrates with WP User Profile. Missing a way to trash old entries automatically, but no match for a developer to add. Add auto trashing after x weeks and it’s get 5 stars.

   Very Nice! Only problem: only shows up when WP User Profiles is active. I cannot activate WP User Profiles because it does not display Woocommerce address information… Pitty!
