Add to Calendar Button

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 · 42% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Reviewers keep calling it simple to set up and easy to customize, with the block, shortcode and HTML options, the accessibility work and the quick support fix all getting specific praise.

   This allowed easily putting an ‘Add to Calendar’ button for simple events. The other plugins we tried did not work or were full event solutions. Recommend the paid version if you want customization, but even the free version allowed us to modify things with code. Also had good documentation. Big shout out to the developers for this one. Great job.

   What the title says: it’s super customizable and it just looks stunning no matter what options! I also love the fact that you can insert it with a block, a shortcode or plain HTML!

   Great little plugin! I was surprised to see that it is accessible, which is required in my line of work. Kudos! Lots of options to customize descriptions, etc. Also having a demo to generate code is very helpful for my colleagues that are not familiar with code. It is a well thought out and put together plugin. Furthermore, I had an issue with the shortcode not working at first, so I submitted a support message, and it was fixed with a new update pushed out promptly within a couple hours. Fantastic support! 🙂

   Sharing an event has never felt simpler. The customization options are even more powerful than the default, which is already strong.

   Connecting to a user’s calendar was previously difficult and costly. It can now be done effortlessly.
