Biggest opportunity: Swap “elementor widget” and “event calendar” for “upcoming events” and “upcoming”. “elementor widget” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “upcoming events” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “event calendar” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “upcoming” sits at #6 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 →2.2%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 450.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.
This plugin shipped 14 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “elementor widget” and “event calendar” for “upcoming events” and “upcoming”. “elementor widget” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “upcoming events” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “event calendar” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “upcoming” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “event calendar”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I thought the connection between the events calendar and the WordPress’s home page was a lot more complicated than I thought. I checked ChatGPT, which is mostly reliable, sent me down a rabbit hole. I have found CHATgpt to unreliable with add-ons. Your product, once I installed, exposed the event. The no-cost version satisfied my needs. Working for a non-profit, they don’t have the funding to purchase a lot of software I would like to use. Thanks very much, Thomas

Did the job on making my calendar page look great!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Tony Pugliese1.5y ago
Es un buen widget, ayuda a mostrar de una forma mucho más estética el calendario de eventos. Le he encontrado dos grandes fallos que hacen que no le pueda dar 5 estrellas.. El primero, es que no permite mostrar la ubicación del evento en la vista de eventos, lo que confunde al lector. El segundo es la dificultad para traducir el plugin a otros idiomas que no sea el inglés.
