Superfish Menus

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

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.

   By simply installing this plugin, a broken theme’s sub-menu was resurrected. Quite a plugin.

   An extremely basic implementation for bringing Superfish into your WordPress site. I’m not entirely sure what the use-case is for this, as it makes quite a few big assumptions about what to apply the effect to, doesn’t offer any default styles (not even the ones that come with the Superfish package), nor does it offer any settings to help configure the plugin via the backend. If you are looking for a plugin that simply loads the superfish.js file — this does that.

   This is a great Plugin and also really easy to add the effects to own theme menus. It saves lot of time to rewrite the menu css, so it will fit your own theme. Great! Thanks for that!

   Simply put, it adds Superfish functionality to your menus (arrows for sub-menus, fade / drop down affects, etc). There’s no styling for your menus, so you have to make sure you have it all done in your theme’s CSS, but it’s exactly what I wanted / needed w/o adding it to my theme specifically. Thanks!
