Events Calendar for Google

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 · 76% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   This plugin is absolutely what I needed for my student web, however there are some serious limitations (but I am using the free version). THE LIMITATIONSThere is no way currently to edit the look of the different grid/list styles other then editing the CSS and also in the EU the DD/MM/YYYY format is often used, but there is no way to change it in the settings other then edit the PHP file itself, this also applies to the short form labels “jan”, “feb” instead of “January”, “February”. And events that last more then 1 day don’t show it in the blue box, but only in the description. THE POSITIVESOther than that it’s the best calendar plugin in WordPress. Responsive design, links to the calendar itself, links to google maps etc. Everything you need in a simple small package, that is highly customisable (if you know your PHPs), modern and clean.

   Some enhancements would be welcomed, but this thing does Google calendar syncing amazingly. Thank you for finally bringing sanity to my syncing world.
