Biggest opportunity: Swap “booking”, “calendar” and “events” for “event list”, “future posts” and “weather”. “booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “event list” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “future posts” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “events” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “weather” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 91.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.
This plugin shipped 8 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

For many websites with simple event needs, this plugin could be a better approach because it doesn’t require the user to learn an entirely new interface — instead, you just create a post in the usual way and add date and location. However, the plugin will need more polish to make it a true replacement for dedicated event plugins. The method for adding venue addresses is awkward, and it would help to have a way to store frequently-used addresses.

Event Post – TOP!! Excellent plugin that fits into WordPress. Many thanks to the developers – it is used with enthusiasm on websites.

I was looking for a simple solution to post and archive events that were previously only on Facebook. Thanks to this plugin, it was easy to do. Thanks for your work so far
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ohliza4.6y ago
Thanks for a simple, light, easy plugin. I didn’t want a full event calendar for this project, and this is ideal. I would suggest simpler documentation for non-devs (like a dedicated admin page with settings, docs etc), and ability to control layout/css in shortcode a bit more, how to add weather, but overall an awesome and light plugin for folks who know some coding. Thanks.

A very practical plugin if you want to easily create events from your blog. Effective.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Krunoslav Turda5.8y ago
I’ve found this addon as the only one so far (at least I think so) that embeds the event functionality to default WP posts, instead of creating it’s own taxonomies. That allows events to be handled by plenty of other WP addons that don’t recognize custom taxonomies (such as sliders, post grids etc.). Right now I have only one problem – days initials in calendar table aren’t translatable, but I hope I will find a workaround. I also suggested a lot of string translations to Croatian here in translate.wordpress and I hope to to do a lot more. I hope you’ll continue development of this addon. 🙂 This topic was modified 5 years, 6 months ago by Krunoslav Turda.

Unable to choose a date by clicking the calendar icon. I need to enter it manually.

In the past used another plugin, but had to change because the other one became unmaintained. I hope to use eventpost a long time. I’s very comfortable and versatile plugin.
