Biggest opportunity: “event”, “event calendar” and “event registration” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 6.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |

| event your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| event calendar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| event registration your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

in WP 4.2 ist es nicht anzeigbar. Ich bekomme es nicht auf die Seite. Irgend etwas ist kaputt an dem Teil – sorry

Installed, went to settings and it didn’t do anything except lock up the whole site. Couldn’t get any page to load, including in admin. Had to go to the db to disable the plugin.

This is the most comprehensive and adaptable plugin that I have used to date. There are so many options for customization. I love that. The authors respond very quickly on support questions which is so appreciated. Highly recommend. The only thing I’d like to see in an update is a way to import events via csv or something like that. Thank you, great work.

The version you download here and get for free is the lite version. It doesn’t have all the options they are marketing here. I created an event and uploaded an image to it. But upon viewing it, the image doesn’t show up at all. Also the time frames don’t allow you to make an event extend to the next day (9:00PM to 1:00AM). The event page itself, when clicked on from the monthly calendar view, is jammed into only half of the webpage and laid out to look rather confusing. I also put my settings at a 12 hour timeframe, yet when I hovered over my event on the calendar, it showed military time (24 hours). Also wasn’t thrilled that I had to register and API key with my name and email in order to activate the free version as well. Overall not a good plugin for my needs. I uninstalled it and will look elsewhere.
