Biggest opportunity: Swap “booking system” and “event booking system” for “patient management” and “workshops”. “booking system” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “patient management” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “event booking system” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “workshops” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →5.6%
of downloads still active
At least 100K of 1.8M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 943 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 35 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 “booking system” and “event booking system” for “patient management” and “workshops”. “booking system” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “patient management” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “event booking system” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “workshops” sits at #5 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 “booking system”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “event booking system”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles16 of the last 26 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 6 of those landed between 2026-03-28 and 2026-04-23.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

I have never had such a support like this. Very to the point and exactly what I needed to know. After sending a pdf with the question and solution as a gesture of gratitude, latepoint is willing to implement this in the documentation. This will help all others in the future.

Fast and effective support

Excellent plugin ! Nous l’utilisons pour la gestion des réservations de la grue de levage, des bateaux et du club house de notre club nautique. La configuration prend du temps mais le résultat très satisfaisant. L’interface utilisateur est simple pour les clients. Nous utilisons Latepoint en complément du plugin Ultimate Members afin de gérer les comptes des clients. Les deux plugins fonctionnent bien ensemble. Il reste toutefois quelques bugs à corriger par exemple dans le menu “Calendrier”: l’affichage est incohérent lorsqu’on filtre les réservations.
