of downloads still active
At least 5K of 136.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 4 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
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “open data”, “special” and “closed” (#4, #4 and #5 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

+ Plugin uses local names of days by default, like Monday is Pondělí in Czech language. + Comes with built-in documentation for advantage use. For me I managed to have dynamic generated sentence, like: It’s open now and we are closing at 22:00. Which change on closed hours for sentence It’s closed now. We are opening today at 16:00. Or sentence It’s closed now, we are opening tomorrow at 16:00. Code for that is listed bottom here.+ I managed to have table of opening hours simplified to my needs. I managed to set Weekdays renamed to Monday – Thuersday 16:00 – 22:00. Folowed by Weekend renamed to Friday – Saturday 16:00 – 23:00. And Sunday doesn’t match any of this categories so it’s showing all time like Sunday -closed-.+++ I love plugin let me do this thinks only by user settings without need of coding. Code for sentence, to easier your life: [open_text]%if_open% Dnes otevřeno do %today_end%. %else% Právě máme zavřeno.%end% %if_closed%%if_open_later% %space% Otevíráme dnes od %today_start%. %else% %if_open_tomorrow% %space% Otevíráme zítra od %tomorrow_start%. %end% %end% [/open_text]

This plugin does exactly what it should and is easy to use! The initial set up is easy and if you want more features, you can usually achive them via the shortcodes!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ dreist2.0y ago
I could have used a second set of opening hours (e.g. when the kitchen is open), but apart from that, the plugin gave me everything I was looking for. Developer responds very quickly to questions and addresses issues.

It’s the best plugin of all for this purpose! I can only recommend this plugin and above all insist that the support is EXCELLENT and really reactive!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ kadolf10242.3y ago
For a free plugin this can do so much – I’m so impressed and really happy to be using it for my client’s website (a library, with multiple days of different open hours, as well as holidays that are closed or have truncated hours). I’m able to customize all of that. Support for the plugin is also responsive and friendly. All in all – 5 stars!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ casinantes2.3y ago
The plugin is rather easy to use and highly customizable. Particularly appreciate the copy-paste options. However, you can only have one set of opening hours. My company has multiples locations with completely different hours, so this is not functional at all for me. Too bad!
