WPC Advanced Password Protect for WooCommerce

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.

16 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 12 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ 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 · 100% run the current release. 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 29% of the way through.

At the current install trend, crossing 200+ in roughly 1069 days.

   I have to say. Really well programmed plugin. Password are easy to set up. I needed it to protect certain product categories for my shop to deliver purchasable photos to clients.Sessions or Cookies or whatever they use are working very well to keep the user logged in once they entered a password. I would have loved a custom css section in the plugin’s backend. However, I just edited the plugins css frontend file to configure the styling. Another feature I am looking for is to deactivate the password on the product itself inside the category. Yes I want a password to see the category page, no I dont want that password to protect the products pages inside the category. But I do not expect this from a free plugin.Thank you for this awesome plugin!
