Biggest opportunity: “calendar”, “events” and “feed” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →2.1%
of downloads still active
At least 900 of 43.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 943 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| upcoming | #3 | #8 | 0 |
| upcoming events your tag | #24 | #21 | down 4 |
| calendar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| events your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| feed your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| widget your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “calendar”, “events” and “feed” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “upcoming”. #3 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Release cadence

Simple and best event plugin. Easy to use. Thanks bro!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ wprave9.7y ago
I noticed that after installing it shows up as Event plugin in dashboard. When you try to create an event it shows up the title All in one events . If you have installed All in one events by Timely, then this widget picksup randomly events from that All in one events calendar. I was looking for a second event calendar on my website and so this event calendar is not helping as I mentioned , it picks and lists events from All in one Events Calendar randomly. Also this event calendar has disabled start time and end time that you see on All-in One calendar. I suggest you consider the original all-in-one calendar by Timely instead of this less functional calendar because the security updates done on All-in-one calendar may not get carried over to this new plugin. Fortunately when I deleted this calendar, it did not delete the events in my All- in-one calendar.

Simple, without unnecessary frills, easy to implement and customization – for people like me, who likes to dig inside the code 🙂

This plugin does just what it says, no more no less. (If “View All Events” displayed list of events sorted by date of event (rather than time posted) it would be even better.) Nice, tidy, easy to use, I like it!
