Biggest opportunity: Swap “menu” for “hamburger menu”. “menu” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hamburger menu” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 63.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 7 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 44% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “2K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 2K.

I have this plugin on several websites, both the free and paid versions, and it works great. They also provide excellent technical support service.

Excellent user friendly plugin with great support.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Branike3.3y ago
There is a new version of FullScreen Menu – Mobile Friendly and Responsive available. Buy a license now to access version 2.3.8 security & feature updates, and support. ???? Really? Will the free version only get updates if I buy PRO? Oh, it’s possible. It’s a shame that I didn’t know earlier that such a change would come… Sad… This topic was modified 3 years ago by Branike.

This plugin is great! It makes it very easy to add a fullscreen menu, and to designate that it just appear on mobile which was so helpful. It allowed me to create a beautiful mobile menu with the exact functionality I need. I also had one of the best support experiences ever – the author was really responsive and resolved an issue quickly. I’m really happy with this plugin.

I’ve had this plugin for some time now, I upgraded to pro and love it more. Support is second to none on the forum. Certainly would recommend.

This plug-in made it very easy to add a full screen menu with a fixed menu toggle button. Two small issues were very quickly solved by the author. This topic was modified 5 years, 6 months ago by kimvl.
