Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
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.

Appreciate the dev to have developed something like this but it’s amazing how in 2023, wordpress cannot resolve URL like every other cms. Wow, just wow.

This work simple and perfect. for me as a beginner with wordpress Thanks
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ thorshammer10.3y ago
An excellent tool, thank you! Flaws: 1. Needs better explanation on how to implement – getting started might seem intuitive to some, others (like myself) have to figure out how to start a new menu’s “child” hierarchy correctly; 2. When adding new pages, MUST get it right first try; if you forget to make the new page a child (using “PARENT” drop-down), you cannot go back after and correct – the auto-add menu feature won’t see it; have to redo /clone the page and get it right this time;

With or without that other box ticked, and with Setting Parent correct, it doesn’t appear in the menu.
