Event Calendar – Calendar

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 · 64% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

16 of the last 25 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   When you purchase it, there is no way to get the pro version. They took my money and never delvered the product.

   I stumbled upon Event Calendar while searching for a reliable calendar plugin for my WordPress site, and I couldn’t be happier with my discovery. Right off the bat, I was impressed by how easy it was to set up and customize the calendar to fit my needs. Even as someone with limited technical skills, I found the interface intuitive and straightforward to navigate. What truly sets Event Calendar apart, though, is their exceptional tech support. I had run into a problem, their team was quick to respond and incredibly helpful in resolving y issue. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is truly commendable. I also appreciate the flexibility Event Calendar offers. With a range of customizable options, I’ve been able to tailor the calendar to match the look and feel of my website perfectly. Overall, Event Calendar has exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s a reliable, user-friendly solution for anyone in need of a quality calendar plugin for their WordPress site.

   Complex and unclear to use. Installed and created a test event, but can’t see how to show a calendar on a webpage. Looked for FAQs and User Manual but the links go to “Page can’t be accessed”. No response to reports to Support. Gave up and used another plugin.

   The thing just worked beautifully. My calendar looked great, it was easy to set up, no fuss no muss, no “modify templates”, no “use this extension or add-on” to do anything worth doing. Thank you, guys!
