Event Calendar Newsletter

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 71% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   They quickly added support for EventPrime calendar when I requested it. This has allowed me to automate my weekly e-newsletter which now has 15 variations that users can select based on content and delivery frequency. I use this plugin to automatically select and format ads and events listings, which are then sent using the Newsletter Plugin to schedule the automatic sending. This plugin is powerful, but easy to use and works as expected and described.

   I have been using The Events Calendar Pro plugin for about a year and I was hesitating on adding a Newsletter feature because I was unsure of the capabilities of the Event Calendar Newsletter plugin. Once I dug into it I was very surprised by just how much customization I could do with the plugin. This is a great plugin and I will soon be upgrading to the Pro version so I can automated my newsletters through MailChimp. Also, the support I received while I was evaluating the free version was better than a lot of the paid support I get from other plugins. Great plugin and great support!

   I have Events Manager for WordPress and am looking to automate parts of my newsletter. The free version is nice, but doesn’t do anything I can’t do with a shortcode. I already have draft posts that generate content for my weekly email using shortcodes that I copy and paste from. I was looking for a solution to an automated daily newsletter that includes: 1 – Today’s events from my calendar 2 – Recent Posts 3 – Future Featured Events I am able to use my site’s main RSS feed for #2 and have the events manager RSS set for #1. I’ve been doing #3 manually which is what I was hoping to use this plugin for. I’ll keep looking for a free automation solution.

   This plugin does what it says it does and is what I wanted, the ability to send out a email with all the upcoming events scheduled. I found it to be a great plugin, for my needs. Brian (the owner) is quick to respond to questions when needed. Looking forward to future updates and features.
