Biggest opportunity: Swap “appointment booking” and “booking” for “barbershop” and “doctor appointment”. “appointment booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “barbershop” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “doctor appointment” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 44.8K 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.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “appointment booking” and “booking” for “barbershop” and “doctor appointment”. “appointment booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “barbershop” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “doctor appointment” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “appointments”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Underrated plugin, happy to find it, thanks a lot
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ bgrmystr8.6y ago
I originally reviewed this at 1-star because it was totally non-functional. I determined the problem was an older PHP version active on website. After updating PHP to version 7.1 calendar was functional. That was my mistake, as I over-looked the error message on screen. Updated Review: Calendar is great IF there are no modifications to either service price, services offered, or time/date worker is available. If any object changes, the database automatically reverts to its original configuration and new data is replaced with older data. The only way to use the new data, is to delete the connection, for that worker (depending on change, you may need to delete all workers), delete the old information you want to update, create new data and new connection. This is a database managing nightmare and too time-consuming to be user friendly. If I want to change a workers time or day of week, I should not have to delete the entire connection to start it from scratch. If I want to change the price for all workers, I should not have to delete all worker connections to rebuild database. It should automatically update to the new information, not revert to old data. Without these database connectivity problems, I would have rated it at least 4-stars. Because these problems are severe enough, I am unable to effectively use this plug-in and rating it at 2-stars.

Great plugin! Free! Contains multiple languages. I strongly recommend! Version 4.9.3 works great.

Extremely useful and pretty easy to customize ( with a bit of php ). Too bad it’s being abandoned. Was beyond everything i tried in the store. Still working good with my current version of WP ( 4.9.1 ) so heartily recommending it.
