Event Organiser CSV

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

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.

1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.

Crossed into this band 5 months ago; the previous band took 15 months to cross, which places it about 70% of the way through.

   Big time saver. Worked perfectly for me. Was so glad to find this! Feedback note: I would prefer separate fields for start date, end date, start time, end time, rather than date and time combined into one field.

   I thought I could simply export my events, and then import them on another site. Export, get a file. Import, select the file. Simple, right? Nope. Doesn’t work. Not only does it not know which fields are where and put stuff in the right place, forcing me to manually confirm that, yes, the Event Name data goes in the Event Name field–I mean, surely there’s a way to build that in!–but then it doesn’t even import everything it exported! Categories? In the file, but not imported. Times? Gave some BS excuse that ending times were before beginning times. That’s not true, but again, that should be easy to verify on or before export if it’s an issue on the import side. Venues? Not even exported! Can’t suck in what you didn’t spit out! What good is an event if it doesn’t include a venue? I mean, come on! Thanks for the tease. Guess I’ll have to manually recreate my next two months of events and venues after all. Version 2.13.7

   When I open up example.csv in excel, then save it (File>Save As) and select the format Comma Separated Values (.csv) with the file name example2.csv then import it, it doesnt work. But if I tried importing it as just the original example.csv, it works perfectly… How can this be possible? Excel is breaking the .csv?

   Appreciate this plugin, and its ‘parent’, Event Organiser. This works well, after I figured out the supplied CSV had the recurrence “Once” while the plugin is case sensitive and required it to be “once”… Agree with the previous review: the preview is great; auto-detecting field names would be a big help. Also, it might make it easier on users if the (optional) event time was separate from the start/end date fields. Otherwise, excellent. Lots of promise for future use!

   The CSV importer allows you to use a CSV using comma, tab or space separated values. This is handy when making CSVs in Excel as you can just copy paste to notepad and save it as a tabbed TSV file. The import preview function is also really nice. It didn’t work well when importing repeating events. It does import the events but it takes a bit of trial and error. I didn’t have many repeating events so it was easier just to do them manually rather than work out the problem. One improvement request would be to auto-detect the columns names from the header row. It is tedious to manually select the ten or so columns on every import.
