Off-Canvas Sidebars & Menus (Slidebars)

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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   We had been struggling to get off-canvas functionality with other plugins, then we found Off-Canvas Sidebars and it worked PERFECTLY with all the options we needed built in. THANK YOU!!! The setup may take a minute for those not familiar with child themes and finding header/footer files, but once the setup is complete, the rest is pretty straight forward. And the developer does a great job explaining the initial setup. WELL DONE!!!

   Seems like a very well thought out plug-in, that I’m sure will be compatible with most WordPress themes and sites. It has a lot of flexibility. Highly recommended. I am grateful Jory (the developer) is making this freely available. Thank you.
