Biggest opportunity: Swap “event calendar” for “modern tribe”. “event calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “modern tribe” sits at #11 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 →2.9%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 14K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 941 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 35 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “event calendar” for “modern tribe”. “event calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “modern tribe” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “events timeline”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I’ve used Eventful on just the one site so far but I wish I’d known about it before. The display options on the free version gave me enough additional control on the display of event feeds that I didn’t need to pay for the pro version of Events Calendar. Also, there was an issue with later events displaying on the full events list. I raised this in the forum and got a quick response. When their suggested actions didn’t fix the issue, I was advised to raise a support ticket, which I did. The team came through with a fix within a couple of hours. Very impressive considering I don’t have their pro subscription.

I am loving the layout options for The Events Calendar. I’m using this plugin for clients who want more control over their layouts but don’t want to always come through a developer to get small changes. It’s doing the job wonderfully.I am also impressed with the fast and responsive support. Thanks guys, keep it up!
