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.

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

63/100

Maintenance 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.

    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!

    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….

    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.

    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
