Ocean Custom Sidebar

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 · 89% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This little free plugin allowed me to easily add any Elementor Library Item to any menu in any area. Show video’s, products, forms anything you like in your menu’s of sidebars. Really, REALLY useful!

   This lightweight plugin is fantastic – stops me making a mess inside functions.php and enables me to control my custom sidebars with complete ease.

   I use this all the time together with OceanWP theme. Works really well and you can have multiple sidebars that can be used in different pages/posts.
