Disable Title

Most reviewers say it does exactly what it promises with a simple set of checkboxes, though a few report it stripping page names from the menu or failing on certain WordPress and theme combinations.

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.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

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.

2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

   This plugin works as advertised although you may have a problem if your particular theme won’t play nice with the plugin as someone reported that it doesn’t work with WP 4.4+ however, that is not true. It works fine the op didn’t account for theme mismatches.

   It works! I tried a couple of other plugins for this purpose, neither worked quite right. Disable Title does what it says with a simple, clean, intuitive set of six check boxes to choose from.
