Biggest opportunity: “clone”, “duplicate” and “events” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 900 of 17.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 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.
High removal-risk signals
75/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.34, well behind 6.8.
- Reviews souring. Recent reviews read meaningfully worse than older ones, an early sign of decline.

How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

This plug in no longer works, and is no longer maintained, or updated.

It worked great. But now it’s throwing this error: Deprecated: /home/teamtelli/www/events/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/deprecated/TribeEventsAPI.php is deprecated since version 3.10! Use Tribe__Events__API instead. in /home/teamtelli/www/events/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5049 Any chance for an update and fix?

My events are pretty simple, but it duplicated them just fine. Thanks! This topic was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by genrobgen.

I’m aware this hasn’t been updated in years, but all I’m doing is duplicating a simple event: a blood drive at church that happens every two months. The plugin seems to be stable and error-free. All it does is give you an extra button under each item on the Events list; click it and it makes a copy and saves it as a draft. Go into the new draft and change the date, click Publish, and you’re done. If you’re doing nothing new and fancy, you should be fine. I can imagine EventBrite tickets, etc. might have updated code, and for that kind of stuff it will probably break. For those of us running a simple organization’s blog with no bells and whistles, probably not.

Not sure why The Modern Tribe doesn’t include this in their functionality even with the Pro version! But it’s working for me with WP Ver. 5.2.4
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ David Innes8.8y ago
The plugin works quite well — about the same as the more general Post Duplicator plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-duplicator/) Unfortunately, as with the Post Duplicator plugin this plugin doesn’t duplicate Ticket info. I know the events manager has a separate extension for ticketing, but it would be EXTREMELY nice if this TEC-specific plugin would include ticketing info when duplicating events! (I mention this because my client has weekly events that are almost identical — perfect for duplication. Unfortunately, at least for me, instead of just updating the title and dates one has to manually re-enter tickets info each time.)

Installed easily and now a “duplicate” option shows for every established event. Once you click duplicate a copy if made of that event and it is set to draft mode. Simply edit this copy (don’t forget to adjust the permalink!), publish and you’re all set. Saved me lots of time.

Very useful to go around a recurrence bug in The event Calendar with WPML. Just copy the event post and change the date! Thank you very much
