Bubble Menu – Floating Button Menu with Sticky Navigation

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

71 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 46 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 66% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 6.4 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   He estado usando este pluging para tener unos menus flotantes en mi web, estoy usando la version gratuita, y a pesar de sus limintaciones logre armar unos menus muy bonitos y dinamicos. Super recomendado. estoy pensando en comprar la version de pago para poder subir mis propios iconos y personlizar mas mis menus.

   I really like the plugin. I have the Pro version. Unfortunately, don’t expect any help from the devs if something doesn’t work right. The plugin lets you create menus only visible to specific users. I have a plugin designed to allow vendors to sell on my site and this plugin sets up “vendors” as a user role. For some reason, the menu I set up for vendors does not display for logged in vendors. I contacted support and the only answer I got was “We tested the plugin and menu works correctly. If you log in on the site as a vendor the menu will show on the front site.” (their exact response). And yet, they had no login information for my site. So, apparently, if it works on their test website, it can’t possibly not work on someone else’s site. I will avoid anything made by this dev in the future.

   This is a very creative CTA Button, I haven’t seen this kind of circular display in any other plugin (except from this author), so even though it has some restrictions in the free version, it deserves 5 stars. This topic was modified 6 years, 12 months ago by Vicky.

   it works, its nice, looks great. But you cannot simply reduce or expand the number of icons in this plugin. I only needed 2 icons, but it only admits 5. Hope this changes for the free version. Make sure you only use this plugin if you need exactly 5 items.
