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
No release in a yearHow 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Been spending hours looking for a module that did exactly this. The only two other modules I found were no longer maintained. Another module I found did not really work as advertised. This feature is sorely needed feature in WP. The current method of having to go to the menu admin to add in a page to the menu is often very confusing for my clients. This module still works on WP 6.1.1. I hope you can continue to maintain it. This topic was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by stevied.

The idea is good but the support is not very good. So if you find another plug-in with similar functionality I would advise to try that!

It doesn’t work for any existing parent/child pages , it only works on pages created after the plugin is installed. You must enable – “Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu” on the menu , if not activated , it also won’t work.

how can I get this to work with polylang or any simliar plugin for multilanguages. the “original wordpress” function works very well: i create a new DE-site, I get a new DE-menu item. I create a new EN-Site, I get a new EN-Site. BUT by using this plugin it should work for child items as well. but it doesn’t. If i create a new DE-site-CHILD, I get a new DE-menu item (child). If I create a new EN-Site-child, I DON’T get a new EN-Site (child).

It doesn’t do anything… I have lots of pages, I edit a page (wich falls under a parent (with menu)), I save the page and still no extra submenu item.
