Silencesoft Disable Menu Items

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.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   Thanks. Works totally as expected. It does seem strange this isn’t in the core wordpress settings already.

   Since not all site menus are simple, as multi-layered menus with custom links here and there are certainly far more complex… and this plugin provides a simple workable solution when a client says “can we remove that from the menu for the time being”. Instead of deleting item(s) and then later having to recreate them this tool now lets me simply disable/hide it without deleting. And that’s an incredible time saver. Why this isn’t a core option, I’ll never know… but it should be.

   It does not work, tested with 4.3 and prev Version. Selectbox appears in the Menu Item, but when selecting it and click save, it does not get saved.
