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.

I’m really happy with this – and it’s better than the other plugins I’ve tried that offer the same thing. Thank you!

Should be able to place and choose where to display without going to pro version. Pro should be a major upgrade of value added features.

Good plugin!!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ smyt11.3y ago
For the whole story, see https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-fullcalendar-css-conflict for resolution results. Basically, this plugin did not play well with WP FullCalendar when my theme was in responsive mode. Even worse, it causes js and css to be served out even if the site does not use the plugin (multisite environment). I consider that to be VERY nasty. Also, js and css are served for pages without the widget. All problems went away with the switch to Simple Facebook Plugin. I wish there were some way to give a zero star rating. It would be well earned, in this case.
