Biggest opportunity: “appointments”, “availability calendar” and “booking calendar” 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.

How it's measured →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 60 of 9K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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.
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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| appointments your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| availability calendar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| booking calendar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| booking system your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| events calendar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

What to do about it
- “appointments”, “availability calendar” and “booking calendar” 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.

When installed, the bootstrap stylesheet overwrites ALL of the links in the admin area. The colours aren’t subtle and integrated well into WordPress’s design at all. It’s… purple overload 🤮 It’s unusable for the above reason in my opinion and I had to uninstall it. This topic was modified 5 years, 6 months ago by KeithDonegan.

Very clean design, lacks few features. Simple, but functional. Edit: developer is active, I am very satisfied. Would recommend. This topic was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by Anonymous User 16361766. This topic was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by Anonymous User 16361766.

It’s our plugin. It’s the easiest and modern plugin with many free features. It has the flexibility to update any service. And it supports as many bookings as I want per slot or day. The search and filter feature are nice. To get this feature we need to pay on other plugins. And I can show a single service with detail information as well as many services. Here has the option to get bookings as date wise or time slot wise as you want.
