WP User Profiles

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 · 96% 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.

   I thought I had finally found a plugin that was so simple and clean and worked right out of the box, then previous reviewer pointed out missing bill to / ship to addresses, this may be a Woo thing, but can you add the script to incorporate this, it would be the cherry on top 🙂

   User profile page as it should be. EDIT: No billing and shipping address?? Why? (subtracted 1 star) This topic was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by martenti. This topic was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by martenti.

   No entanglements into some profile system … just simple access to all user available fields with modern-ui, seamlessly in edit screens (and available to users directly in their admin profile section). I use Ultimate Member, and it tries to force people to some straight-jacket ways of managing profiles and profile fields. Trouble is that quite a few standard wp user profile stuff is left out by UM. This plugin plugs that hole superbly and makes me ponder about my continued usage of UM

   This is a plugin that transforms WP User Profiles to what it should be. Highly recommended.

   Hey, Great idea to organize items to tabs, but this thing didn’t work with Members (https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/) plugin. Ability to select multiple roles just wasn’t there, only ability to select one role, plus pressing Update would give an error.

   Works perfectly including on multisite. Brings some logic and layout to the wordpress user profile. Hope it gets updated soon.

   So Happy I Found This. I had spend a day testing plugins such as Ultimate Member, BuddyPress, Types to get me at least 70% to my goal. This plugin is best in class when it comes to cleaning up user profiles. Very lightweight, only deals with user profiles, and does not add in all the ‘member’ or ‘social’ aspects of other plugins. Wish I discovered this plugin sooner. Have since forked it on GitHub and look forward to contributing. Great job!

   I could have implemented this on 20+ sites and it would have been a far better solution than the hackery I’ve been doing. JJJ you’re awesome.
