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
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

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.

Nice and simple. However, if you have this menu icons plugin installed; https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-icons/ ..it doesn’t work, nor do you even see an option to select css classes. Also, could’ve been even more simple if it worked like WP used to work; simply a text field in the menu settings underneath each item, where you write your css classes.. That would be more straightforward and not require to go to another settings page to create classes. Hope that can be changed in the future?

Installing this plugin removed my theme’s built in options for configuring menu items and replaced them with a panel that only allows you to apply a style but I was unable to create any styles. There is a panel that lists all styles in the Settings panel (mistakenly referred to as Options in the instructions, unless I misunderstood) but no “add new” button. So I was unable to create a class, rendering the class pulldown in the menu builder ineffective.
