How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Lite event plugin for buddypress

    If you’re considering paying to upgrade to the “pro” version of this plugin, don’t! I left the following feedback on PhiloPress.com nearly two weeks ago, but it has conveniently been “awaiting moderation”. Here is the feedback that couldn’t be left there: “If you’re looking for something you can modify or style easily, this isn’t for you. The included styling is very basic. There isn’t a screenshot showing the event list so if you’re hoping you can try the plugin and get a refund if it doesn’t suit your needs, think again. I requested a refund on several occasions but to no avail. He ignored my repeated requests. A user would have no way to know what the plugin events list would look like. Shane (plugin author) said, “you should have tried the free version”, but how would a customer know that the styling is the same? This isn’t clear.The plugin author seems more interested in money than a satisfied customer. Buyer beware.”

    Good extension for BuddyPress and BuddyBoss. Nice integration with profiles.

    This plugin seems to have nothing to do with Buddypress. Events created are not specific to a BP group, they are shown to all users. A Group owner can’t create an event. I’m not sure why this is posted as a Buddypress simple events plugin. Not useful in any way regarding BP.

    Using Pro version as I needed it for group events. Links with groups nicely and has notifications for the group creator when users are attending which is an awesome touch. Light weight and uncomplicated if you’re looking for a simple events. Style as you please. Great support.

    I created a thread in Forum but without help that is for not programmer. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menubars-are-gone/ Also other threads with same issue waren’t really supported. This plugin destroys the layout of my site. Kippis is really an easy and old theme. What a pity because Events could be a strong enrichment for Buddy Press 🙁 This topic was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by jaroslawistok.

    Shouldn’t a programer be happy to receive some feedback about questioning, and finding problem, bug about their program? no , they don’t , they think you are annoying… they think they have done perfect job already. checkout: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/downloading-issue-for-pro-version/ [ Personal attack redacted and title modified, careful. ] This topic was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by Jan Dembowski.
