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.
What its installed base runs

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.

Does not work. Instead of the menu I will write “Fatal error …” or “Warning …”. Do you know how to automatically generate a menu by category? It can also be a plugin. My website is divided into about 500 categories and subcategories, and then there are blog posts. The articles are over 1150. It’s annoying, and it’s impossible for every category in the WP administration and adding each post to the menus even manually. Personally, I do not even see the logic of why I should do something duplicitous when I’ve already created the structure of the site with categories. I also think that all website makers would save time and make it easier for everyone to use WP. I’m looking for a way to make this menu autotomically, leave the menu in the admine section and not to go. This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by ogi22.

Hi, I am looking for this similar kind of plugin. But my requirement is a little bit different, I am sure you can do this. I need this same functionality for woocommerce product categories. If it’s possible, then please let me know or you can update this plugin too. Thank you in advance
