Event Tickets and Registration

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.

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.

534 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 457 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

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.

Crossed into this band 23 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   Log an issue, get a support ticket number but then nothing. There seems to be no way to see any tickets that you have raised

   Imagine it stops working, you paid for year of support, right? Yep, nope , no support at all. Automated system creates support ticket, auto email to you and that’s it. No live person, no following up with email, nothing. In the meantime nobody can buy your tickets. I advise to look for some other plugin or a ticketing portal that you can embed into your wordpress, or if its simple use WPforms, you can create simple ticketing via them. We used them last year and it worked perfectly, not as slick as this plugin but again if this breaks….well you out of luck

   Auf Grund meiner sehr großen Sitzplatz-Veranstaltungen (ca. 1.300 Sitzplätze) wurden ein paar Bugs im Seating gefunden, die sehr zügig behoben wurden. PERFEKT!!!

   Otherwise simple and useful but does not work. Option to remove data when uninstalling does not remove data. Therefore(?) reinstalling brakes something in the database. Links to docs appear but they are dead. This was my afternoon experience.

   When Event tickets is activated, the Kadence design library doesn’t work – scrolling through available themes in the Starter Packs in the Design Library is blocked. Having to deactivate and then reactivate a plugin each time you want to make edits to a page or add sections from the Starter Pack isn’t ideal.

   Great support, really appreciate the quick responses from support – they always know how to help. We are testing out the Seating add-on on one site of a multisite and I was having issues getting started – support was able to tell me what was needed to get it working. The add-on is intuitive and easy to use, will work well for our application. Much appreciated, always happy with Events/Tickets plugins and support.
