Biggest opportunity: Swap “event” for “concerts”. “event” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “concerts” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →3.9%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 51.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 944 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 1 release 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| calender your tag | #3 | #5 | 0 |

Set everything up and it errors out and crashes the page when I add the shortcode
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ tendali112.6y ago
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.

it would be even better if I could change language on display when linking to google – I would be happy to buy pro version for that 🙂
