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.

N/A

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    This is only one plugin which works without replace the whole menu system and works with VC. Please update your plugin, it broke the color pickers in the whole website.

    I purchased the Pro Version of Clever Mega Menu together with WPBakery Page Builder. It’s worth it. I created a mega menu with sub and sub-sub mega menus with full page width. I had some issues to solve with the alignment of the mega menu panels. But the support was great! They sent custom css code to solve all my problems. Many thanks for this. Notice that (as far as I understand) the plugin doesn’t overwrite theme settings for the menu (e.g. line hight, font hight…). To adapt this, you’ll have to edit the theme css (style.css). Hint: If you have anything you want to show to the support team, don’t send attachements with your mail. Use google drive or any other image storage service instead and send the link to the support team.

    I unfortunately purchased the pro version with high hopes, but there was a conflict with my theme’s mobile menu and this plugin didn’t work.

    J’ai acheté ce produit. Ce plugin n’est pas complet beaucoup de problèmes. J’ai pris beaucoup de temps à apprendre comment il fonctionnais mais ces fonctions sont très limité. Je ne conseille pas ce Plugin.

    Хороший плагин, но есть одна проблема. При установке Clever Mega Menu for Visual Composer в WPBakery Page Builder пропадает возможность настройки произвольного цвета элементов. This topic was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by Ikarus47.
