Event-O-Matic

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 · 100% 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 plugin looked simple and easy to set up at a glance but I could never get the form short code to work. A glance at the support forum showed me that recent posts have gone more than a month without a response so I have decided to pursue a different solution instead.

   If I could do this and take off the COMMENT Box, I would be thrilled. Also need to also public to submit events.

   What a treat when you find a plugin that is lean, does what it says it will do, and is up and running in minutes. Event-O-Matic is one of those plugins. Well done!

   This plugin is really good if you wish to display a simple event list on a page, have a page per event and offer the public the opportunity to submit their own evets. This is exactly what I needed it for and although there is room for impovement it serves the purpose well. I hope in the future for the ability to list events by region and have month subheadings, you can’t do these things at present, or at least it seems not.
