Biggest opportunity: “javascript”, “jquery” and “jquery code in menu” 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 200 of 14.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,193 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals

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.

What the plugin provides is not very complicated. It adds fields to menu items, where you can simply copy-paste your code. But before that, you need to know what you’re doing in terms of working with Javascript/jQuery. So, before you use the plugin, make sure you know how to set up such a Javascript event. Otherwise, you won’t know what to do with this tool.

It only works if you have checked the check that it is “Primary Navigation”. If your web has multiple menus it does not work in others menus. This topic was modified 9 years ago by wp-yeyo.
