WP Mobile Menu – The Mobile-Friendly Responsive Menu

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

271 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 205 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 4 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 70% of the way through.

   I have been fighting my theme and code forever and a year to get a mobile menu to work (and failing). Then I found your plugin and installed it and have a clean working mobile menu up and running like magic. You rock.

   I’m absolutely delighted with this plugin and truly impressed by the outstanding support I received. All issues were resolved in record time thanks to Rui Guerreiro, whose deep knowledge, professionalism, and kindness went far beyond my expectations. He handled every challenge with patience and expertise, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. This praise comes from someone in Serbia, and as we Serbs are known for being very detail-oriented and precise in everything we do — I can confidently say this plugin and support deserve the highest recommendation.

   The search menu does not work. I bought the professional version in order to get support for this issue. I emailed multiple times over weeks and never got a reply. Professional is supposed to include support. It’s the only reason I bought it They do not support the product. Zip. Nothing. This topic was modified 10 months, 1 week ago by BF.

   Hello! The plugin is useful, but unfortunately very buggy. If you press Enter in any input on the plugin settings page in the admin panel instead of saving via the button, demo data will be automatically loaded, which cancels any user settings and forces you to import a backup (if it was made by the user) rude quick fix (broke demo import):./includes/class-wp-mobile-menu-core.php:983-if ( isset( $_REQUEST[‘demo’] ) && $security == 1 ) {+if ( isset( $_REQUEST[‘notexistparameter’] ) && $security == 1 ) {

   If you get the Demo, you can’t get rid of it even if you remove the plugin. And if you just touch the demo button, it imports it. No warning or confirmation. I cleared every cache from my server and my devices and the changes the plugin made were still there. I finally deleted the plugin, but its settings were still there! It had made permanent changes to my site. I was able to restore to a backup, but this should not happen. Most plugins have a way to remove all settings when you delete. This does not. Beware of this. That said, the rest of the plugin is really good and much better and easier than others. I tried several others after deleting this one, and none were as good in terms of set up and look with the least effort. I reinstalled it and made sure not to click Demo. You’re safe if you don’t click on Demo unless you really want it!

   So many businesses, across all sectors, fail to communicate effectively and in the world of digital tech it is most frustrating if programming issues are holding up development… no matter the size of your project. In a world where we have more means of communication than ever before, it is refreshing to deal with a company such as FRESHLIGHT who values communication as being one of THE most important ingredients in the growth of their business. No hesitation on my part to thoroughly recommend them!

   We were struggling formatting the mobile menu using the them we had selected. We didn’t want to change themes because everything else was working perfectly. We tried this mobile menu and we’re up and running with a slick mobile menu within an hour or so. We ran into a snag on one page and reached out to support. Not only was the support fast, but they stuck with us until we figured out a solution. They went as far as providing us the exact code to use to resolve the issue and helped us troubleshoot as we implemented.

   Auto-hides various header elements with no ability to disable. After changing a basic setting after a plugin update, it broke some of the previous functionality. Limited to no free support.
