- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.0.14.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Our current set-up is a custom PHP website, that is powered from WordPress via the Rest API This plugin allows me to eat data from multiple menus, children and use them to power our website. Great and simple plugin

This Plugin is working perfect when you have to build a more advanced standardized responsive theme. I have tested it with angular 7 and angular material 2 and it did just what is suppose to deliver. Fast access to location and menu data to reuse this to build angular material 2 templated menus. Great! Thnx!
