How it's measured →5.7%
of downloads still active
At least 9K of 156.6K 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 4 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| reservation plugin your tag | #9 | #21 | down 3 |
| reservation calendar your tag | #15 | #20 | down 4 |
| reservations your tag | #23 | #21 | down 6 |
| reservation | #24 | #22 | down 3 |
| reservation system | #19 | #22 | down 3 |
| booking your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| booking calendar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
8 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Slipping on “reservations”. Down 6 places since 2026-09-20, now #23. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “reservation calendar”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “booking” and “booking calendar” 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.

Works great!

After wasting 2 months going back and forth with support, I just learned this plugin is useless for resellers. Beware.

Easy to use, works great, and makes lightframing book now buttons and embedding calendars a breeze! I have built and edited multiple sites for FareHarbor activity companies and this plugin makes it so simple to integrate with FareHarbor. This plugin is a must have for companies using FareHarbor with WordPress sites.

I’ve built quite a few sites for FareHarbor clients. This plugin makes it super easy for them to include their Lightframe and calendar embeds on posts and pages. Does exactly what it needs to and does it well.
