Biggest opportunity: Add “house”, “jquery scroll up” and “jump” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #9 and #13 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 0 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 27.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

This plugin is fantastic! So simple and effective (from this end, anyway). After hours of fighting Enfold’s CSS and JS in my child theme, this plugin just fixed my fixed-positioned header overlap issue with one simple setting. Thank you!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Pedro Magnifico8.3y ago
Doesn’t play nice with my site’s back to top button. Click on an anchor link and the page scrolls to the anchor with the correct offset. BUT click back to top and the page only scrolls a little bit. Maybe by the amount of the offset, I’m not sure. But it looked to be about that distance. This topic was modified 8 years ago by Pedro Magnifico.

Works perfectly fine.

With a fixed nav, it is always annoying when the anchor tag on the page moves the content so it is covered by the nav. I’ve found this plugin to be a great way to correct this problem. Thank you.
