Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records User Approval Manager version 1.2.2 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
User Approval Manager adds an approval layer to WordPress user registration.
When a new user registers, the plugin prevents immediate login and notifies the site administrator(s) by email. The administrator can approve or reject the user directly via action buttons included in the email.
At the same time, the user receives an automatic email informing them that their account is pending approval. Once approved, the user is notified and can log in normally.
This plugin is ideal for:
– Membership websites
– B2B platforms
– Private communities
– WooCommerce stores requiring verified customers
