Menubar Widgets

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 · 100% 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.

   This is an amazing plug in – I can’t believe that it is free!! After a few teething problems, I got it to work. And replies to questions were very fast – great support. Thank you.

   While definitely useful, the way it attaches plugins to a menu could really be improved. Instead of making all widgets available for every menu option, polluting the interface, it could just add another category of available options, from with the user could drag the widgets as necessary. Other than that, really nice plugin.

   I love the plugin, one thing is missing: I am too lazy to start writing css, it would be great to release some styling as well… Also- before I installed, wp warn me that this plugin hasn’t been tested with my wp version (4.0), but so far- I think it’s working 🙂 Great work 🙂
