Biggest opportunity: “booking”, “email” and “events manager” 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.

How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 12.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.0.18.

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.

| email your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

This plugin was very useful for us until the license lapsed. We’ve renewed twice, sent multiple emails, and received no response! The plugin is STILL NOT ACTIVE. Is this a dead plugin???

I like this tool. I wish there was a “Test Email” button and a “Display Log” button to help troubleshoot SMTP problems

Thanks for taking over the running of this plugin, most of the new changes look good. I’d prefer it if my site email settings were used though (we use an api to link to a mailing host) and now need to have duplicated settings. Also I’ll need to remember to disable your plugin when I want to disable site emails which isn’t ideal compared to just having the one setting to change.

Adds the missing features to Events Manager. Easy to use.

This plugin works well. I particularly like the flexible to email all bookings or just confirmed bookings or pending etc. It also has a raft of useful email settings – especially like BCC. Thanks Philippe!

I just spent the past week deciding on and configuring the $hit out of Events Manager only to discover it didn’t have the crucial feature to allow event hosts to mass email all members attending events to notify them of cancellations, changes, etc. This should absolutely be a standard core feature of Events Manager PRO. I’ve seen threads from years ago and the EM team still hasn’t implemented it. They said when I contacted them that it is on their list but no ETA. Hopefully they do so soon as I really believe this is a critical feature but for the interim I found your little gem of a plugin. In fact, the EM team even recommended I try it out. I’m surprised more people haven’t downloaded and use this. So far it seems to work great, albeit I haven’t tested with more than a few attendees. Seriously though, thanks for creating this, exactly what I needed!
