Biggest opportunity: Swap “floating buttons” for “bottom navigation”. “floating buttons” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “bottom navigation” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 49.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 1 release 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.

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.

I use this plugin for many websites it’s easy to use and make my webs more beautiful, my customers love it too
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ xZorex9.3y ago
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.
