Responsive Vertical Icon Menu

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 · 53% 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.

   There was a small problem with the arrows in the Wpdevart vertical menu. But they solved it quickly and gave me the .css solution to fix it on my production website. Thanks people! This topic was modified 6 years, 4 months ago by MaxFolmer.

   Does exactly what I needed. Great support team too. Needed a font added to the existing suite of fonts. The Team turned it around in a couple of days. Excellent!

   Your customer support is just amazing! The plugin works perfect, with all the look and feel as well the functions I needed. But it did not load the google fonts I was using. Just one e-mail to the support team and they solved it! Hope the plugin will be updated more with the fonts and other capabilities, but till then your support was the best! Keep it up!
