Fixed Circular Navigation Menu

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.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #23,000 to #24,800, alongside the other plugins at 30+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 5 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 56% of the way through.

   This had the prospect of being a really good plugin, but as it only allows 1 position in the free version, at the bottom of the screen, it’s unusable. I’m not sure if this is even still being supported, but that inflexibility of position makes it impossible for most designers as it interferes with footers and may even not be seen!

   It’s a really great and simply plugin! First I tested the free version and after a few days I bought the PRO version. I think the price is absolutely appropriate for the product you get. I had a few problems with selecting icons from “font-awesome”, because my server hast disabled url_allow_fopen. The support was great and I get a fixed version, that runs without problems on my server! THUMBS UP!

   For many years now I have been searching for a plugin like this one. I just built and launched a brand new site for Wonder Women and the Fixed Circular Navigation Menu compliments what I envisioned for the site and then some. It works very well and with a little bit of imagination you can certainly make the 8 elements work perfectly. The customer service provided by the plugin developer Enrique and his team was exceptional and they answered all my questions . I am excited to see the updates with this plugin.

   Limitation of 8 elements ruined my idea. Why can not it be a full menu with submenus? A friend you have to do it! Your product is good, but it would be ideal if the opportunity menus and submenus. Compact – this is a super idea, but there is not possible without a submenu to hide everything. = (

   This is a very good product. Good enough I bought the inexpensive pro version. It is worth it to upgrade to the pro version. The developer is awesome and was quick to answer my questions. Also this implementation of a responsive side menu is the best I have seen relative to all the other ones I tested out for my site.

   I loved it so much I bought the pro version which costs next to nothing- I had not set up my wordpress site correctly and the plugin was not working due to my poor installation (give me a break I was still learning) so I send a support request and bang within minutes I had an answer. as a business owner thats the support that keeps me in business – so fantastic plugin and fantastic support and for the pro version of $9 thats peanuts for a professional grade plugin. now that Iam more familiar with setting up a wordpress site I now use it on several sites all without any problems with the installation – upload, activate and thats it Very clean and easy to use admin area, which for me is very important for the most part all you do is click a few options which are displayed easily (they are not check boxes but an image of what you want to achieve – very nice way to do it- you simply click how you want it to look add your links pick where you want it to appear on your site and tada it’s up there| |if you want a side menu- download the free one and then for peanuts you’ll upgrade to the pro version because it works so well and is easy to use
