Booking Calendar

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

247 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 161 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2 months ago and the previous band took 2.2 years to cross, so the real count is still just under 50K.

   I am a property photographer and I also do floor plans and some video. Tried out the free version which is good but doesn’t allow certain things including accepting card payments. Purchased Business Medium and it adds much more functionality and customization options. The get the best out of it helps to know a bit about HTML and CSS as you need to dig in to the Advanced Mode and configure things “manually” to get it to look and work just right. My knowledge of HTML and CSS is quite basic and I struggled a but but the support is unbelievably good and fast. They helped me configure things and provided me with some code to copy and paste. I still had to figure some of it out on my own but the help form support is top notch and they respond quickly. I tried out some other booking forms but I settled on this one as it has extensive options and flexibility and a good back end where it is easy to keep track on bookings, availability, etc. Would highly recommend this plugin – at least try the free version to start with as that will help you make up your mind if it is right for you.

   I recently took on the challenge of developing my own website for my vacation rental. A key feature of the website was the booking calendar for my customers. After reviewing various plugins and weighing the pros and cons of each, I decided that WP Booking Calendar would be the best choice. Since I had never worked with a booking calendar before, I was entering uncharted territory. WP Booking Calendar offers extensive documentation and videos on configuring the calendar, but there were specific nuances related to my business that I struggled to navigate. At times, I felt lost regarding how to implement my desired modifications. I reached out to WP Booking Calendar Support multiple times, and they provided prompt guidance on making the necessary changes, including assistance with my shortcodes. Thank you, WP Booking Calendar Support! You helped me get my website up and running promptly.
