Menu Swapper

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 · 68% 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.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   For some reason the “Custom Page Menu” option in my theme wasnt working, I had done everything and almost had given up, until I came across this plugin. I tried to use other plugins that promised to to the same thing but they didnt work. This plugin was easy to use and did exactly what I needed it to do. Thank you so much.

   I wish there was a plugin for this that worked. Also wish that WP deleted the old crap plugins.

   Thank you so much for this plugin! It saved the day after I tried a number of similar plugins. Excellent and easy to use. I’m using it on WP 4.8 with multiple menus and it does exactly what I need it to do. Please keep it alive and compatible for future WP releases… because it’s the only plugin of its kind that actually works! Thanks!
