Easy Sidebar Menu Widget

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

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

Share 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.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   Is a simple but effectly plugin that solved my problem. Sidebars are not common in current time, but a costumer request it. A long sidebar looks awful, but making it collapsible looks better and improves UX. Maybe a little costumization would help.

   The plugin developer needs to address the not tested with the latest 3 major WordPress releases, or, at least do a small update just to confirm this is not a dead plugin. Other then that it works very well. No speed issues. No debug errors (at least on my set up which is a Litespeed server or conflicts with my 30 or so other plugins). Apart from some small styling changes it meshed nicely with my theme (Themeco Pro) on WordPress 5.7.2 Many Thanks This topic was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by leekane. Reason: To add Wordpress version
