Est. acquisition value
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.

I also initially liked the plugin but had the same issues. Without your hack I would have given up. Don’t see why the developer does not fix this. On the downside I have to edit the CSS if I ever change the menu names. I am using WP 3.8.1 and latest Genesis framework.

At the first moment, I loved the plugin’s idea. I implemented it on my site to solve the “(Language) Page Title” problem. But it leaves some blank spaces in the menu and sometimes changes the item order depending which language is active. After some hours, I was able to find a solution. About the blank spaces The plugin leaves a blank list item (li) where isn’t a title for the active language, with a blank class menu-item- where it should be menu-item-POST_ID. So, in my css I wrote: #mymenu li.menu-item- {display: none !important;} About wrong item order In the qtranslate-remove-menu-item.php file in the plugin folder, there is the following code in the myMenuExits function: return empty($strings[$lang]) ? 'null' : $obj; It completely destroys the object, making WordPress behaving in a strange way. So, I replaced the line I quoted for: if( empty($strings[$lang]) ) { $obj->ID = ''; $obj->title = ''; $obj->post_name = ''; $obj->db_id = ''; } return $obj; I hope this temporally solution helps some people!

This plugin does not seem to work with the most current WordPress version. A shame because I do love the concept of functionality!

Hi, I like the plugin. It solves my problem. There is one thing: it doesn’t clear “li” or “a” tags, just removes text. So there could be a small gap between 2 menu item. Thanks.
