About ProfilePress

A login form is a small piece of interface with a long tail of consequences.

ProfilePress turns a WordPress site into one that has members. Front end registration and login forms, member directories, profile pages and content restriction arrive together, along with payment gateways for paid tiers, email marketing integrations and WooCommerce compatibility. Written in PHP and released under the GPL v2 license, the plugin dates to 2014 under an earlier name focused on user avatars, and it grew into full membership tooling as demand moved that way.

Presence therefore says something quite specific about a site. A brochure site does not install membership software. A site that does has accounts, stored personal data, a password reset flow, probably a payment relationship and a support burden, all of which make it a different business from one that publishes pages. As of October 2026 we see ProfilePress on 13,325 sites, 5,167 of them registered in United States, with the suffix mix weighted to .com.

The release picture adds a second dimension. Across that base we record 135 distinct versions, and installs cluster on 4.17.5. Spread of that width matters more for a plugin handling authentication than for one that draws a slider, because every release in the tail is a site running login and registration code that has since been revised. Membership plugins also attract attention from the wrong direction, since a public registration form is a write endpoint open to anyone by definition.

Different readers use the same two columns for different work. Course platforms, community software and membership services sell into sites that already committed to the model and may have outgrown a general purpose plugin. Payment providers look for the paid tier signal, since a membership site with a gateway attached is a site already processing recurring charges. Security researchers and managed hosts read the release distribution as an exposure map. Vendors selling compliance tooling look at the country column, because obligations around accounts and personal data follow the jurisdiction of the operator rather than the location of the server.

One structural caveat belongs with any account bearing site. Most of what makes such a site interesting sits behind the login, and a crawler sees the public shell, which means the technologies recorded for a membership site describe the front door rather than the members area, and features enabled only for signed in users leave no trace.

A domain lookup answers whether one site runs the plugin. The list answers who runs it, on which release, in which market and beside what else, which is the only shape in which any of those questions can be scoped, priced or prioritised. Detection depends on public asset paths and form markup, so a site that renames its login route, restricts registration to invited users or serves the plugin only to signed in visitors can run it without appearing here. Undercounting is the likely error, and the release column reflects the sites that expose a version string rather than the entire base.
