Biggest opportunity: Add “wp nav menu”, “streamline” and “navigation menu” to your wp.org tags. You rank #8, #11 and #14 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 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 10K of 94.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,186 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release 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.

What to do about it
- Add “wp nav menu”, “streamline” and “navigation menu” to your wp.org tags. You rank #8, #11 and #14 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 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

It did what it was supposed to do without any problems. Easy to use. Thanks!!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Topher1.1y ago
Does exactly what it claims to. I wish the UI were on the Menus page rather than a unique page under tools, but if it were really important to me I’d probably contribute code.
