Ultimate Member – Online Users

35 Quality Score

Active Installs

16/30

With only 3,000 active installs, adoption is modest even within its niche, reflecting its narrow role as a UM extension.

Update Freshness

2/25

Last updated in November 2024, the plugin is reasonably current, but the small install base means fewer eyes catching regressions.

User Rating

2/15

A single rating producing an 80 score is too little signal to trust, so this metric should be treated as anecdotal rather than representative.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads with zero resolved is technically a clean record, but with no engagement at all there is no evidence the developer actively assists users.

WP Compatibility

8/15

Tested against WordPress 6.7.5 and requiring PHP 5.6 plus WordPress 5.5, the compatibility range is broad enough for most current hosts.

What It Does

Ultimate Member - Online Users is an add-on for the Ultimate Member plugin that lets site owners show a list of currently online users anywhere on the site via a shortcode. It tracks logged-in user activity and renders a live presence widget, useful for community and membership sites where seeing who is around matters.

Who It's For

This plugin is best for site owners already running Ultimate Member on a community, forum, or membership platform who want a lightweight way to surface real-time user presence. It suits small to mid-sized communities where online activity is a meaningful engagement signal.

Who Should Skip It

Anyone not already using Ultimate Member should skip this, since it is a dependent extension rather than a standalone solution. Sites needing a full membership system or richer user profile features should look at the core Ultimate Member plugin or a broader alternative instead.

The Bottom Line

Ultimate Member - Online Users does one narrow thing and does it within an existing UM setup, but its overall quality score of 38.59 reflects weak visibility and no trackable support history. The single 80 rating is encouraging but statistically meaningless. Treat it as a convenience add-on for committed Ultimate Member users, not a reason to choose the UM ecosystem.
