Biggest opportunity: Swap “roadmap” for “story”. “roadmap” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “story” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →5.6%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 36K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 6 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.

Great work. For our project, it works fine. After a quick inquiry, they added the code to get the plugin responsive. Works also fine on our site. Thanks to the team This topic was modified 1 year, 4 months ago by André Christen.

Easy to use and works fine; just: Paragraphs are being stripped, which is quite annoying. And: some parts cannot be customized color wise (as e.g. the arrow borders and the circles) respectively must be customized separately via CSS and by adding !important.

It’s the only one I found with the horizontal option, but I didn’t find how to add pictures or change the family font. This topic was modified 4 years ago by artnahualli.

It works nicely in a horizontal orientation and we could fully customize it to match our sites style. Highly recommended!

This is one of the plugins that makes exactly what you expect from it. Easy to configure, simple and straightforward with a reasonable number of options. Also, it works under WP 5.9.2 even if it is not officially stated. Thank you for making it
