Booking.com Official Search Box

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 · 56% 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.

   Once installed the plugin causes errors in the pages and posts are repeated with errors. Support does not exist, no one has answered in the forum for months … This topic was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by Ermanno Devitofrancesco.

   It is useless if you need to select dates for the next year. It shows past months but not next year’s. I got one more, bigger problem. If you type a destination with more than two words, it sends it to Booking with strange numbers in between (New Zeland => New 20Zeland) and that makes the search completely useless.

   The experience with this company is terrible. 1. Their plugin doesn’t work and is very limited. 2. They don’t honor their affiliates with money. They will arbitrarily say you don’t “pass” their “quality test”. So don’t waste your time. This topic was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by JoeMcCabin.

   Unfortunately, although easy to configure, when i save i redirect to my homepage without keeping the changes to the booking search box. This problem occurs only with this plugin on my website!
