Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Plugin refused to “Activate” (with the author) despite being Activated in WordPress just fine. A free plugin shouldn’t need to activate with it’s developer in any way shape or form just to run in a free mode. Couldn’t do anything at all with the plugin except for uninstall it.

Free version doing almost nothing more than WordPress built-in menu feature. Bugged, also critical one. This topic was modified 2 years, 9 months ago by dawidt.

Been looking for something like for a while, makes handling a large menu so much easier!

This looks like an alpha version of plugin. Idea is good, but a lot of bugs and it just did not work. I wanted to add pages by author or by category and it was loading, loading and actually did nothing. You should find better developers and QA.

I have hundreds of pages that I needed to make a menu with. The WordPress inbuilt functionality is quite terrible. This plugin did make that job a little easier. However, it could have been much, much better. The daunting task ahead of me was selecting many, many pages for the menu. The main page and most of its children were thankfully right next to each other in the plugin’s selection structure. All I had to was click each and every page to add it to my menu, one by one. No easy shortcuts for this plugin! The plugin got the job done-ish in a fraction of the time it would have with just the WordPress functionality. You may have noticed the “Most of its Children” part. Yes, the alphabetical listing of child pages sometimes just left off some of the pages around below the letter T. A quirk of the search? No! I wasn’t even searching. When bulk adding to the menu, sometimes I’d have pages that started with W, sometimes not. Also, adding more pages to these menus after the initial selection was impossible. I tried every button I could and never figured it out. Just go to the WordPress menu system to do those updates for T-Z pages. While you’re there, use the WordPress Menu drag and drop interface for rearranging the pages into the parent and child structure. Not only does the plugin not bring those relationships into your menu, the plugin sometimes messes up the settings for parent and child relationships in the menu after you save.

The free version saved me hours of work, and its very easy to use! I have hundreds of pages and the standard WP search is pretty useless, but the search on this plugin is great. Being able to hide existing menu items is especially useful. What would be an improvement would be to use the plugin to be able to manage pages. I have redesigned my entire site and have lots of old published pages, being able to view published pages that are not an existing menu item, and then be able to make them draft or delete would be a great tool!

So the plugin is very useful for me, as i need to custom arrange the sequence of the menu, and this plugin really helps!

Even in free mode, the company gives you technical support of very good quality, the plugin works very well and with technical service. highly recommended, the premium is worth purchasing.
