WP Admin UI Customize

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 · 99% 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.

   More than 1 year ago I tried to track the plugin but it is not updated, it does not respond to the options it supposedly provides, I hope they can resume the update soon, the problem is that I do not know how I will find out when they manage to do it, it hurts 🙁

   Sorry. Error of reviex. I wanted to rate another plugin, this one is no more updated and then not usable. But I can’t delete my review. This topic was modified 6 years ago by Ishko.

   Simple and does exactly what I need, particularly re-organizing the Sidebar. Some of the newer all-purpose themes come with a slew of builtin plugin-type features. For example, Qode’s Bridge theme. But a good many of these, I don’t use on any particular site. This plugin allows me to completely re-organize the sidebar such that the items I need are at the top and prioritized the way I use them!
