Biggest opportunity: Swap “ecommerce” for “handheld”. “ecommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “handheld” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 83.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,154 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 4.9.35, 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ mmtomm6.5y ago
the review title speaks for itself. there’s no visual change on the menu itself with the latest storefront theme, only the menu items appear differently. There is only a english version or it does not translate please do not put old “free” software in payed add-ons without maintaining them. Btw.: the whole bundle would need a big revive

Works fine. It looks different than the standard hamburger menu but it works.

Very good plugin. wasn’t happy seeing it go with storefront 2.3.0
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Glenn9.0y ago
Does a fabulous job. I expect version 2.3.0 to be even better with collapsible menus.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Anonymous9.2y ago
It’s a simple plugin – too simple. It baffles me that submenus are not collapsed. A webshop quickly has tens og hundreds of categories. Showing all of them is bad practice. Who wants to swipe past 40 categories to find what they need? They’ll be long gone before ever finding it. You should really consider adding an option to collapse submenus, so that the user can fold out the submenus they actually need instead of being forced to see all categories.

I bought homestore theme recently and installed this plugin but it failed miserably so I deleted this plugin. Too bad Woocommerce doesn’t provide technical assistance for this plugin.

It’s great. It makes the main menu in mobile devices looks very nice.
