How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 40+ in roughly 145 days.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   If you use icons in your menus and build with the block editor, or have made the switch to full site editing, install this plugin. Previously I would enable classic menus and use a custom menu walker to accomplish something similar. The Enable Navigation Icons plugin offers a much cleaner and more streamlined solution.  To top it off, Trent provided a fix approximately three hours after I posted an issue. This plugin along with the Icon block will definitely be included in all of my builds. Trent, if you ever consider extending Nick Diego’s Enable Button Icons plugin in a similar fashion, I will be the first in line to do any testing.  This would be the “holy trinity” for using SVG icons in the block editor. Thank you for an exceptional plugin.
