Biggest opportunity: “menu”, “menu items” and “page specific menu items” 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 →1.8%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 108.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| menu items your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page specific menu items your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page wise menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Unless the author can state otherwise, it all works EXCEPT for Woocommerce product category pages, which is a shame because it does work with product pages. So I have a situation where the introduction html pages menu can be edited and so can the products – but not the category in between. If this can be solved it will get 5 stars.

I tried several plugins, most of them don’t work or are hard to be configured. This one is easy and user friendly. Perfect for my multi-language website menu.

Good plugin but it could be great if only it could handle more than only one menu to assign to pages/posts. Thanks!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ temereva9.2y ago
Good plugin. Works nice. Requires small css fix when implemented with Mega-menu or some other plugin that adds its own prefixes to css menu items classes (e.g. mega-). In my case I’ve just added .mega-hide-menu-item{display: none!important;} in my css. It would be really great to have an ability of managing the menu from both sides: on pages and right from the Appearance > Menus! Now, if I want to hide 5 items on 50 pages, I have to open all 50 to perform the same action there. Not really convenient. The other thing: on the page backend the menu structure is not visualized clearly. Would be nice to have it slightly indented to easily distinguish between the normal items and sub-menus.

does not work with my configuration: When I save the page, the selected items are lost… and every checkbox is back to deselected….

Unfortunately, at activation, it returns: “The plugin does not have a valid header.” This topic was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by DotCodes.

Excelente plugin, simples e prático. A gente só precisa criar um menú, editar a página que queremos personalizar o menú e escolher quais itens vão aparecer na página.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ j2l9.7y ago
Very simple and effective plugin. Tedious to un-select numerous items though, not plugin fault. Or may be sub menus hierarchy could be kept and unselecting parent also unselects children? This topic was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by j2l. Reason: on more star
