Biggest opportunity: “export menus”, “exporter” and “import menus” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active

At least 10K of 188.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 864 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

Search visibility

How it's tracked →

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.

Keyword	wp.org	On merit	wp.org move, 90 days
export menus your tag	Not in the top 24
exporter your tag	Not in the top 24
import menus your tag	Not in the top 24
menus backup your tag	Not in the top 24
wordpress menus your tag	Not in the top 24

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

What to do about it

“export menus”, “exporter” and “import menus” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Wish I would have tried this one first; I’ve tried two others (WPS didn’t work at all)… Worked great! The only upgrades I’d want; one has already been mentioned in other reviews: search/replace domain (though can just use Better Search Replace) EDIT: it appears that it does match the domain of the destination site! Bulk import/export Replace existing menus This topic was modified 1 year ago by ryansigg.

Worked as described. Would be 5 stars if it provided functionality to rename domain (i.e. change staging.domain.com to domain.com) but simply doing a replace all inside json export file then importing worked flawlessly.
