Biggest opportunity: Swap “appointment booking”, “buddyboss” and “stripe” for “base”, “appointments” and “hourly”. “appointment booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “base” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “buddyboss” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “appointments” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stripe” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hourly” sits at #21 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 →0.2%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 49.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.9%, 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.
This plugin shipped 11 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.

Nothing might be perfect but…WPBase is a great starting point to develop your booking platform. Customizable, easy set-up and excellent developer support.

I’m using this plugin for a client with multiple locations, each with specific capacities, as well as two shifts per day, also with defined capacities. It supports bookings that can span multiple days, handling holidays by skipping them and continuing the service afterward. Automated emails and cancellations work great. The plugin is highly flexible and can be tailored to suit almost any need. The knowledge base and support are also great.

I had issue with the Plugins not notifying Provider/Admin when there are new pending request in the que and Hakan was able to pin point the issue in less than a day. It was caused by a different plugin. He was a great help. The plugins works the way I wanted it to work and other other plugin work just as well. Thank you again,

I manage a website for a small village community. One of the essential features of the website is the ability to book the village hall. I searched for a suitable plugin in the WordPress CMS, trying out many options. I needed a simple tool that allows users to select a date and start and finish time from the front end. However, most of the plugins at the top of the search results didn’t offer this feature without requiring a premium subscription. After trying out several plugins, I found WP Base. Although it required a subscription, I was impressed by the presentation and features of the Essentials bundle and the Variable Durations Add-on. WP Base provided everything I needed at a competitive price and had the best front-end presentation and user-friendliness. Whenever I needed guidance, Haken responded quickly and was very helpful.

WP Base is an ultra-complete plugin for making appointments. I use it for a directory of professionals on which you can make appointments, receive appointment reminder SMS and emails, and even have appointments directly by video, payable via the site. It’s the perfect solution for my project, there are a large number of integrations and features that can be activated/deactivated as needed. I specify that I use Geodirectory for the directory and Buddyboss for the community. And WP BASE integrates these two plugins, it’s just perfect. In addition to that, as soon as I am in difficulty with a configuration or when I have a question, Hakan responds very quickly, he always has a solution, it is a pleasure to benefit from such support. I do not regret my choice and I recommend this plugin and this developer without hesitation.
