Tamed Admin Theme

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.

   I don’t write many reviews, I always intend to, but it just doesn’t happen. There are exceptions, however, such as when I come across gems like this. I have some OCD issues that I struggle with, and it doesn’t take much for things to seem very chaotic. Requiring many plugins & custom post types, and with nearly all plugins inserting news menu items, my WP-Admin always induces a great deal of anxiety. I’ve tried a number of other tools, like WP Admin Menu Editor Pro (which has helped a great deal), but there are still limits on what can be done. I have even purchased a number of WP Admin Themes, but none of them helped all that much. This theme however, while it’s incredibly simple and doesn’t come with all the options that come with some of themes I’ve purchased, seems to help tremendously. I find it interesting that this plugins description uses the phrase “calm”, because strangely, it kind of is. I can’t really point to any one thing, but I do find that plugin/theme quells a great deal of anxiety. It’s very clean, and it doesn’t change things such that it makes it difficult to find things. I’m very grateful for this plugin, and highly recommend it.
