Biggest opportunity: “calendar”, “dates” and “event” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 80 of 14.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 941 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.34, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| calendar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| dates your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| event your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| events your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| venue your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Easily implemented functionality and great support for small, unexpected bugs.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Fleuv9.1y ago
This plugin got loads of nice features unfortunately it hasn’t been updated for quiet a while now. I tried to use this plugin on a site the other day but unfortunately the date picker didn’t returned the right format as well as the date field value send is not converted correctly to an unix timestamp it somehow always returns 0. Leaving you with only “1970-01-01 00:00:00” dates. Please look into this issue try different translations. I’m sure you have to use php’s function strtotime() here. Good luck, Cheers Fleuv This topic was modified 8 years, 10 months ago by Fleuv.

This event plugin is a great foundation to build a custom calendar implementation on top of. It works well and provides many powerful options right out of the box.

A simple yet functioning way to announce events, and the dev is always willing to help. I tested several Calendar plugins and will only recommend this one.

like this plugin, for my idea stream page. It includes almost what I want. just did some revise, like adding ul/li and changing the display order in the widget (newest first, see “litouch.com”). Thanks, Atte! Edward
