Event Organiser

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 · 83% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Finally one that works perfectly with OSM.Take good care of it—it’s the only one I could find.

   Not compatible with latest WordPress Version and PHP 8.x. After installation the plugin Icon was not shown.

   I am going to delete this plug in. You cannot change dates. You cannot change times. You cannot copy events. You cannot exclude dates within repeating events. This plug in is full of bugs.

   I need just a basic calendar, so I can add events (color coded by category) that people can just see. Very simple needs. This product does that for free. Easy to set up, so far it has been working just fine. It let me import my events from an ICS file, which was helpful, as that is how I was able to get my data from the plugin that I was using, which used to be free but now charges a fee. Only hassle was that all events came in as drafts, so I had to republish them. Not a big deal, other than that I had a LOT of events

   So far loving it! Just digging in and seeing that we now have a calendar system that allows advanced recurring events (even in the free version). WordPress template theming. No bloat. no jQuery. Looks like it will be easy to add ACF, costume taxonomies, etc… Finally! Why did it take me so long to find this plugin? Thought I tried all of them. Was just about to give up and build out a calendar from scratch. Thanks! This topic was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by Sunny.

   If you ever happen to pay for any of its “pro” features, you will be stuck with an incomplete buggy mess of a code after the first year expires and have to pay once again if you want updates that fixes their bugs. There hasn’t been a single answer to bugreports on these forums for ages. Avoid!

   Pros This is a great plugin for developers that want to make use of the template files. This is a great plugin if you’re using advanced custom fields plugin and want to add additional custom fields for events, to incorporate into your event templates. This is a great plugin if you are using elementor, and want to insert event widgets around your site and templates. You can customize which fields are displayed in the widget settings, or edit the template file. Developer friendly: you can import the event templates into your child theme and make customizations very easily. Nothing is locked down or hidden. I can get my content to display exactly as I want. Great documentation: all of the event functions are very well documented, with easy copy / paste snippets for your template file customizations. Cons Can’t think of any! It works really well for me. Much more developer and customization friendly than the more “popular” event plugins This topic was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by boon4376. Reason: expanded on reasons I like it This topic was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by boon4376. Reason: added note about documentation
