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 searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

20 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 8 listed. 12 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

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.

Crossed into this band 4 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 65% of the way through.

   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!
