Biggest opportunity: Swap “events calendar” for “feed aggregator”. “events calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “feed aggregator” sits at #11 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 →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 34.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 864 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds 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 8 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 “events calendar” for “feed aggregator”. “events calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “feed aggregator” sits at #11 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 sync”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

The free version is fairly limited, and I’ve had some problems in the past resulting in incorrect times or duplicated entries. Still it seems to be the only plugin that does this task, and it does seem to be working correctly now, at least for Event Manager.

The plugin works as advertised. When I ran into a problem (of my own making), I reached out to support, and they actually went in and fixed the problem FOR me!

When meetup changed their API the app developer responded quickly with an update that allowed us to get back to our jobs. Thanks!

I’ve been using IM and IMPro with My Calendar for several years. Xylus support worked with me several times to update the plugin when Meetup changed their API. Support was courteous and prompt, staying in contact until fixed. I am now using this with the included built-in calendar instead of My Calendar. Works much better than My Calendar and the functionality is excellent. Had recent small problem and questions. Got very quick support and resolution of issue. Definitely the best Meetup aggregator!
