Meetup Widgets

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

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Your site says the Meetup list of events can be added with either an API key or a URL. It seems this is not true. It cannot be added with a URL. In fact, there seems to be no field for entering a URL. If it’s added in the space for the API, it only shows up in the widget as “add a valid API key.” Additionally, which of multiple API keys to use is confusing for many people, and your explanation is so abstract as not to qualify as an explanation at all. I see that only one other person has asked for help with a problem with your plugin, and it was never resolved. I hope you do at least try to offer support. Anyway, if it really were possible to use a URL rather than an API, this problem were not be occurring…. which it is… This topic was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by lucisweb.

   support documentation is non exisitant.. maybe for a fulltime Dev perhaps… shocking. its a bit like meetup RSVPs 75% no-shows, and a waste of organisers time and effort. add full descriptions, frickin meetup (where i was directed for the API) was no better… no info at all what the “stuff” was I was to input was…. i can see why all meetup plugins fail in WP. please improve n ill check back, and upgrade my rating…. really!!!! what were you thinking to put no decent info up?

   The only meetup widget I could find that even works, but it works great for what I need. Worth the time to setup and use.
