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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

This plugin is fantastic for building custom sidebar directory navigation for WooCommerce and ACF. I love it so much!

Terrific plugin with excellent support (for just the free version, too). I hate just about everything related to styling menus, and the WPB accordion menu plugin gave me my life back when developing a site using a child of Twenty Twenty-four. Easy enough to customize this menu but, out of the box, it’s already worlds better than what comes with a default WordPress theme. Also I have hated other menu plugins. Not so with these guys. It’s super and duper.

I needed a complex menu that worked beautifully on desktop and mobile for a travel website. This was perfect. Where I had some confusion I emailed for some help and got well thought out answers and even some CSS code that made my site work exactly the way I had planned. The Pro version is simply amazing.

just what I needed
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Alok Sharma11mo ago
After struggling with several documentation and FAQ solutions, I wanted something simple, lightweight, and consistent with my website design — not another bloated plugin that adds its own layout and breaks branding. My requirement was clear:I needed a plugin that could display a collapsible navigation tree in the sidebar — showing my FAQ categories and their posts — while keeping everything within my site’s native Blocksy layout. Then I discovered WPB Accordion Menu or Category. After testing the free version, I instantly upgraded to the Pro version. The plugin allowed me to build exactly the kind of Post navigation tree I had envisioned — clean, intuitive, and completely bloat-free. What truly makes this plugin special is not just its functionality but the developer behind it.Imran was incredibly helpful, cooperative, and honest in his responses. He personally looked into my setup, identified the issue, and fixed it promptly — even explaining the root cause so I could learn from it. That kind of support and transparency is rare these days. If you’re looking for a plugin to build a navigation tree for Pages, Posts, CPTs, Categories, or Menus — something that feels native to your site and doesn’t add unnecessary weight — I highly recommend WPB Accordion Menu or Category PRO. It’s a perfect blend of simplicity, functionality, and genuine developer support.

When I was using the free version, I had an issue. It was resolved quickly by WPB, so I bought the Pro version! Again, I had some queries, and these were sorted out quickly and courteously. My only small niggles are English spelling typos in some of the config screens, and some of the UI terms could be clearer. But these are small issues, given the price, functionality and support.

I had a specific request regarding the plugin, and Mr. Imran from the support team went above and beyond by implementing a custom modification just for me. The response was quick, professional, and very helpful. The plugin itself works great and suits my needs perfectly.Highly recommended — both the product and the team behind it!
