of downloads still active
At least 2K of 75.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 947 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 12 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
- One page off on “events list”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “gutenberg block” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

If the client wants more control of the content and formattion I would consider the Pro version.

This plugin is a brilliant power-up that makes important features available in the free version of The Events Calendar.

Provides Gutenberg style blocks for the event calendar plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Chris LOW3.5y ago
This plugin was not very easy to navigate and seems to have a clunky interface. Since this is for use with The Events Calendar, it would have been better if its admin interface were in a sub-menu for The Events Calendar, rather than taking up real-estate on the main admin left-side menu. However, it is worth downloading this plugin to access the Events Shortcodes for the Events Calendar which is relatively manageable and provides several simple templates that work for most use-cases. I disabled this one after downloading the addon plugin “Events Shortcodes For The Events Calendar“ Upgrading to four stars. After a few months of use, I have to admit, it’s been useful. Still one star off for confusing admin interface. This topic was modified 3 years ago by Chris LOW. Reason: upgraded star rating

This is only an events list block. It doesn’t enable Gutenberg block editing for all features of the single page template addon to The Events Calendar.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ebonweaver4.1y ago
It’s just a complete mess really. – Does not preview in the page builder, always says No Events – Shows the date 3 times in the block header. Why would I want to show it 3 times in 3 formats?? – Shows featured image under the description. This is backwards from the way events actually display and it makes info appear out of order. – Location info is above description, again backwards – Map is not shown – No ability to customize displayed info, like again don’t use the featured image at the bottom in the find out more, show the image at the top where it should be, then just let me customize the find out more link. Unfortunate it’s an unusable mess, it’s a non solution to a missing feature of the event plugin.
