High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.1.42, well behind 6.8.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare 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.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

I have a multisite setup with a main and 5 subsites. I set up the primary nav on the main and used this plugin to copy it to all of the subsites. All but one. The subsite running the Neve theme just won’t copy the menu over. Other than that, it is awesome and has saved me a ton of time already! I just need to set up about10 more subsites and copy the menu to all of those, as well!

Breaks admin bar on any site this plugin is active on. The admin bar will act like you are on the site that this plugin is getting the shared menus from. I’ll change my rating if this bug is fixed.

I have a multisite installation with one master site and one child. Needed the child to look and feel exactly like the parent site, and I didn’t want to worry about updating the menu twice. This worked for me. I had to create an empty menu on the child site and assign it to the appropriate location, and then it worked.

Very nice job. I’ve coded global menus in the past but hit a bit of a roadblock on a current framework. I spent an hour or so trying to get the responsive menu to sync up alongside the global and function the same way. I was getting close but it wasn’t quite the same as the native blog menu – then I decided to search and found your plugin. Very nice job – clean, light, and does what it says. Thank you.
