Localendar Calendar for WordPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #10,100 to #11,100, alongside the other plugins at 300+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 88% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 3 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 400.

   With recent changes to WordPress, Localendar is showing more and more issues… attempts to resolve those issues with “support” resulted in a dead end (no response). Years ago it seemed like a great solution — WordPress has progressed while Localendar has not.

   Very limiting, and dated layout.

   This should not be allowed here on WP, seems fishy. This topic was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by PetoG.

   You have to have an account on their site. You have to pay to not see ads on your calendar.

   Some people are knocking this plugin because it requires you to set up an account at localendar.com. I am a long-time webmaster who has many sites moving to WordPress. Rather than migrate all of the existing content to a WP-specific plugin, this plugin lets me use all of their existing calendars. Plus, localendar has a ton of features most of these johhny-come-latelys just don’t have

   Why does this plugin have a conditional to load jQuery 1.4 if jQuery is undefined? Also why does this plugin load 2 js files from your website instead of including these files inside the plugin itself… Which one of these JS files also loads 8 other JS files from your website. This is bad practice.

   I was trying to find a good plug in to use with my Google calendar. This is not it. I’m not even sure it is a real plug in since you have to host your calendar on a separate site, then embed their code onto your page, after you pay your subscription.

   I selected the Premium version and it does everything I need it to do. I paid over $60 for another plugin and it would cut off the title and not display the time. I needed to publish repeating events and some specialized – 2nd Friday, last Saturday, repeating – that I could not get other plugins to do. I had some problems with the month not displaying but once I changed the style to the default style, I was able to view the month. If you can figure out the CSS, I’m sure that could be rectified too. For the cost, it does what I need it to do. It’s not that the month wasn’t displaying, the problem lies in the fact that the font was white and so was the background of the section. http://www.rainbowtemple.com
