WP Menu Cart

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I am using the theme store mall by moral themes. It is especially nice because it uses underscores and has no bloat. I wouldn’t want bloat like baker, gutenburg or elementor. It’s a choice. I think this plugin is totally necessary and they work very hard. 5/5 stars

   The Crew at WPOvernight were incredible, went out of their way to help me with translation issues using the WP MEnu Cart Pro plugin. Fantastic customer support and obviously not just there to make a quick buck, they are dedicated to helping customers in any realistic way possible. THANKS!!

   As the saying goes, this plugin does one thing, and it does it very well. It’s amazing how it scans your menu to adapt itself to it. My favorite feature is that you can set it to hide the cart menu item (and the space for it, by the way), when the cart is empty. It is well written, with filters for those so inclined. The back end is clean, clear, and easy to use.
