Navception

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.

   My embedded menu items are being output at the root menu level, so my main menu has like 30 items in it. 🙁 Hopefully a fix is possible; this is a great plugin!

   Excellent plugin that extends the ability to create submenus. This functionality should really be incorporated into the next WordPress update.

   (doesn’t add the menu, just acts as an include for the contents of the menu)

   OMG. Thanks! I have over 50 pages in my site. My site is personal, not commercial – so, I am the low-skilled developer. Without your plugin it was a nightmare just to add one page. Dragging up through 30+ bouncing menu items, screen by screen. I put in a WP request to have your plugin incorporated as a WP Menu standard feature. It should be part of WP. Excellent plugin, thank you very much.

   Great plugin. As a newcomer to wordpress I expected this functionality to be included as standard. Navception makes it possible to resuse menus and preserve consistency across a UI.

   This is just what I needed. It works as you’d expect it to, and the nicest thing is that it slots seamlessly into the rest of the menu UI too. Thanks!
