Events Manager – Ongoing Events

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.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

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.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ 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 1 Nov 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 · 100% 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 2.1 years ago; the previous band took 13 months to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   I am giving 5 stars in spite of some quirks the person posting the events needs to be aware of. The plugin does what I need: it allows a very clear presentation of mutliple-day events for the Website end-user. From any day’s event page, one can see the other days that are part of the same class or ongoing event. Registration for a mutliple-day event only requires filling out the booking form once (not three times if the class meets over three consecutive Saturdays, for exmple). What to know when you post ongoing events: 1. Subsequent events are only created at the moment you publish the first day’s event. If you save as a draft instead, any ongoing events you just added to the editing screen are NOT saved with the draft. 2. If you change the first day’s event from published to draft, the subsequent days will still be published and shown in the calndar and list of upcoming events. If the user opens one and clicks on “Day 1”, they will see a “not found” error message. If you open the editor for the initial event, you will still see the ongoing events (since they are still child events of the draft parent), and if you publish again, all should be well. 3. An easy way to delete subsequent days en masse is to edit the initial event and change ongoing events from “yes” to “no.” Beware: This does NOT put them into the trash; they are truly deleted. 4. Clicking the Publish button creates a ticket type for each ongoing event date. Before clicking Publish, there is only a single ticket showing by default. Be sure to adjust the tickets AFTER you publish for the first time. If you want people to be able to register for single days rather than the entire span of dates, rename the ticket types to make it obvious, like “Traning Day 1,” “Traning Day 2,” etc. If you want users to register once for all days, delete the extra tickets so there is just a single line for tickets. 5. If you change dates for the subsequent days, you may end up with an altered permalink. I managed to get one that ended with “-day-2-2” but when I changed the dates again, I had one ending with “-day-2” again. Usually this won’t matter, but you may want to check the permalink if you need consistency. Given all the above, I still think it’s a great plugin if you need events to span multiple days.

   Nice idea, but doesn’t work very well. If I want to modify the main event, the attached events are deleted ! And I can’t change the hour format or the template of the event. I’m disappointed.
