Ultimate Floating Widgets – Make popup sidebars

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 · 76% 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 had an issue configuring the plugin correctly. I wanted it only to be visible to certian user groups, and on specific WooCommerce product pages. Within 24-hours Aakash provided an answer to my question, configuring the floating pligin excatly likle I wanted. Great plugin that does what it claims.

   The plugin is excellent, since it allows me to deliver the best possible user navigation in a complex Learndash online course environment on mobile devices. In my case, it allows to have the course topic structure/navigation, which on larger screens is displayed as a sidebar to be opened and closed as a floating layer on smaller screens, so that course navigation is easily accessible without much scrolling.Aakash, the developer of Ultimate Floating Widgets, is really helpful, when question arise. His support is superb, too. When I encountered a theme update which had a bug with page-type output and thus interfered with the functionality of the plugin, he found the cause and created a workaround tweak, even though the bug was in the (well-known and widespread) theme, so he was not responsible for the solution. I’m grateful for his excellent support.

Tried like two other highly rated plugins but they wanted shmoneyyy – For what I needed, this was simple to use. I am excited about the future potential, too! Great plugin!
