Biggest opportunity: Swap “calendar”, “event” and “events” for “virtual events”, “jquery calendar” and “recurring events”. “calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “virtual events” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “event” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “jquery calendar” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “events” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “recurring events” sits at #18 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 →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 124.6K 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 11 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 “calendar”, “event” and “events” for “virtual events”, “jquery calendar” and “recurring events”. “calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “virtual events” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “event” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “jquery calendar” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “events” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “recurring events” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

Along with GeoDirectory, this plugin is awesome. A couple of days ago I activated GD with a view to replacing the Directory I was using. If all went well after a few weeks trial I was going to switch my Events directory too. I was so impressed with GD I just decided to switch it now. So easy to use, intuitive and it looks exactly as I want straight out of the box. The front end is so good, I know it’ll make it easier for my users to add events and improve UX. I highly recommend this plugin (and GeoDirectory) if you want an events plugin. The only way this plugin could be better is if it added listings for you!

Pretty much everything I could ask for in an Events system, combined with great pro-active support. What’s not to like 🙂
