Biggest opportunity: “calendar”, “event” and “event management” 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 200 of 45K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 947 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.20.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| calendar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| event your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| event management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| event manager your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| events your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles27 of the last 29 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 16 of those landed between 2021-03-18 and 2021-04-17.
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.

This plug-in does not work as indicated in the details. All it does is place a link to the schedule page on Sched – no embedding at all. The Sched plug-in hasn’t been updated in over a year, so perhaps the code they utilized has been deprecated in modern WordPress versions.

It is incredible software, it has tools that distinguish it from many that are on the market. It is easy to use, its design and quality are simply ignorant. Of course, it is also accessible to manage events with this complement. It is wonderful
