HT Menu – WordPress Mega Menu Builder for Elementor

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

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 · 97% 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.

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

   I haven’t used this plugin for long, but I’ve been looking for a super simple mega menu plugin that works out of the box. This is perfect. I installed and it worked. It’s super easy to customize. Thanks for a simple, great plugin!

   Followed the tutorial to the T and used their own template and it doesn’t appear to work. I have tried with both the Elementor Nav element and WordPress Nav element and no dropdown shows up. I looked in devtools and it looks like nothing is being loaded at all, no divs or anything under the navigation link. If there is another step required to make this work then they might want to update the tutorial on youtube.

   Dont waste you time in installing this plugin, it does not work! When you come to the point where you should install the template for the menu on the menu widget, the option does not show up. Even when you have installed one of the Elementor templates, that you find in the template library of the plugin and have activated the mega menu wordpress option. And the developers dont seem to be bothered that the plugin is not working, because i have seen on youtube comments of other people complaining about the same issue and the comments are from months ago. I tried on two different WordPress installs and still no game. This topic was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by Schlaubi.
