Event Booking Manager for WooCommerce – Sell Tickets, Event Registration, RSVP & Event Calendar

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.

859 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 751 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 7K.

   The paid version of the plugin is riddled with bugs—it’s been the worst experience I’ve ever had implementing a system. I regret the hundreds of hours I wasted on it. Here’s how it goes: You have to submit a support ticket for every single thing that doesn’t work (and there are tons of them). Their customer service is terrible—they don’t even seem to read your entire comment, so you have to follow up multiple times before they actually address your issue. They tell you to “try it now,” but it still doesn’t work; they don’t test it themselves, so it takes weeks to resolve the tickets. And when they fix it (if they fix it, because they just tell you it’s done)… they break something else! It seems like nothing they do makes it into the final version, and when you give them access to fix something, they update the plugin (without asking you first) and break all the “patches” implemented in the other tickets. It’s as if they’re coding without looking, or as if an AI were doing it without knowing how to use it or what they’re doing. I’ll never spend another penny on anything from MagePeople—it’s a scam, and it’s given me months of headaches.

   If you need a registration form for your events, don’t waste your time with this. Their website clearly says registratio forms is a feature, but they deliberately deceive you on this, it’s only available on the paid version, and they don;t show a feature comparison anywhere. When you clickt he button on the site to see full features it just adds it to cart. Complete scammers.

   Support for this plugin is dreadful. The plugin has great potential but problems are very difficult to get sorted due to poor support.

   This plugins is filled with bugs.Updates often break layouts, so I stopped updating it.Communication with support is almost impossible. They always want admin access to my website, and never answer any questions.
