Biggest opportunity: “page specific menu”, “page specific menu items” and “post specific menu” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →3.4%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 29.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,194 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.4.25, well behind 7.1.

How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| page specific menu items your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page specific menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| post specific menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

The plugin has not been updated for ages.

This plugin works great as long as you do not use WooCommerce. If so – your ability to add a featured image is removed… rendering Woo unusable.

This is by far the easiest and best page menu plugin. Can you just please update to the latest version of WP as it kills some other plugins after upgrade and would still like to use this plugin. Well done Keep it up.

This is the best conditional menu plugin I’ve yet come across – simple, works well – thanks! e: Unfortunately it looks like the current version of WP (5.5) is causing some issues for this plugin – it still operates on the front end but it’s breaking meta boxes and other elements in the dashboard. Hopefully the developer can fix this otherwise excellent plugin. This topic was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by Anonymous User 13176105.

Totally disrupted the menus on the top subdomains of our employee website. Fortunately, we haven’t launched yet, but trying to fix it is a nightmare. This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by vegasrenie. Reason: Correct star rating

Thank you for this awesome plugin. You saved me a large client. Really awesome!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ gdengines28.1y ago
Installed it and yes it works, but it only allows you to hide one menu. If a theme supports more menus the plugin doesn’t have the ability to ADD another setting to disable more than 2 menus. Does this deserve a 1 star? In my opinion yes. It is no secret that themes can have more than one menu.

Used on a WP 4.9.5, installed without a hitch, does what it says, easy to use. Only drawback, it’s by post/page so on an existing site it can be a burden to go in all articles to redefine which menu you want to (dis)appear? Would have loved a to have the meta settings in category/taxonomy
