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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    I’ve been using WPS Menu Exporter for a while now, and I must say, the experience has been far from pleasant. Here are the key issues that make this plugin problematic: Excessive Ads: The backend is cluttered with a massive number of ads. Almost every page and setting is filled with promotional content, making it extremely difficult to focus on actual tasks. This aggressive marketing strategy is not only annoying but also disrupts workflow significantly. User Interface Disruption: The constant pop-ups and banner ads interfere with the user interface, leading to a confusing and frustrating experience. Important settings and features are often buried under layers of advertisements, which hampers productivity. Performance Issues: The plugin’s over-reliance on ads seems to affect the performance of the WordPress admin dashboard. Pages load slower, and sometimes the ads cause the interface to lag or become unresponsive. Unprofessional Experience: The overwhelming presence of ads gives an unprofessional feel to the plugin. It seems more focused on upselling than providing a quality service, which is disappointing for users looking for serious functionality. Lack of Ad Control: There’s no option to disable or minimize the ads, leaving users with no choice but to endure the constant interruptions. This lack of control over the ad content is a significant drawback.

    The functionality of this plugin works as expected – you can export a WordPress object and import it back into a separate site. It will indeed replicate your menu structure as intended.However, I will be disabling this product immediately across the 80 sites I operate. This is because of some unfair/unsavory dashboard advertisements that were included with a recent update to this plugin. There is now a banner advertisement for an unrelated product which can not be dismissed, is not WCAG compliant and is generally unwelcome. Based on information from both sets of websites, neither this product nor the advertised product are operating under the same parent company or “umbrella” of products. This is terrible behavior from plugin developers in the WordPress community. My WordPress dashboard is not a billboard for your intended marketing messages. I hope that the issue is rectified immediately.

    The latest update to this plugin adds a large spam add for “WP Boutik” to the top of every admin screen that cannot be removed. This is totally unacceptable and I’m deleting this plugin now and will need to manually move a bunch of huge menus unless someone has an alternative in mind.

    the spam in my backend promoting wpboutiq is NOT appreciated. Disabled your plugin across multiple sites.

    Worked well! Have a ton of menus for usage in a Mega Menu setup. Followed the given instructions and it did just fine. Didn’t import or export any crazy stuff like others experienced. I made sure to only select the Navigation Menu items when choosing what to export.

    This exported bunch of extra data I didn’t want to export (like actual page content) in addition to the actual nav menus. Then when I imported, it messed up all of my destination site’s existing menus by duplicating every nav item in them. I wouldn’t recommend using this at all, but if you do be sure to make a good backup first.
