Biggest opportunity: Swap “content schedule” and “editorial calendar” for “scheduled” and “posts showcase”. “content schedule” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “scheduled” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “editorial calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “posts showcase” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 1.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 941 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 7 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| scheduled posts your tag | #7 | #22 | up 3 |
| scheduled | #12 | #24 | up 2 |
| upcoming posts your tag | #12 | #23 | up 1 |
| posts showcase | #17 | #24 | down 1 |
| content schedule your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| editorial calendar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| future posts your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
18 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 14 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “content schedule” and “editorial calendar” for “scheduled” and “posts showcase”. “content schedule” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “scheduled” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “editorial calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “posts showcase” sits at #17 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 “upcoming posts”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Directory rank
Ranked about #23,000 to #24,800, alongside the other plugins at 30+ 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.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Crossed into this band 12 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 30.
