Event Post

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   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.

   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

   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.

   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.
