Biggest opportunity: Swap “accessibility ready”, “accessible” and “courses” for “course booking”, “restaurant booking” and “vacation rental”. “accessibility ready” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “course booking” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “accessible” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “restaurant booking” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “courses” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “vacation rental” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 80 of 32.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 944 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.

Directory rank
Ranked about #17,400 to #18,100, alongside the other plugins at 80+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “80+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 14 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 80.
