Biggest opportunity: Swap “event calendar” and “facebook event” for “eventbrite” and “icalendar”. “event calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “eventbrite” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “facebook event” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “icalendar” sits at #14 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 →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 136.9K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 9 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
- Swap “event calendar” and “facebook event” for “eventbrite” and “icalendar”. “event calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “eventbrite” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “facebook event” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “icalendar” sits at #14 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 “facebook event”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

They also have great online support
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ taygan1.8y ago
It’s a little tricky to set up. But this is the only plugin I’ve used that will actually import events and not just show a separate feed. 5 stars.

Does what it says for a fair price!

The plugin is very good and powerful. I use it to read in .ics files from various sources and transfer the data to another plugin.Very easy to use and well thought out.The support is fast, friendly and professional.Highly recommended. This topic was modified 1 year, 4 months ago by motioncompany.

WP-Event-Aggregator is exactly what I needed to import an *.iCal file into an event calendar. While this free plugin supports ‘The Event Calendar’, it also offers it’s own built-in Event Calendar that is just as good. So long as this plugin remains free, I highly recommend WP-Event-Aggregator.

Fast and clearly solving training related questions
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ChickenWhisperer3.6y ago
The plugin “skips” all events that are labeled the same on your calendar. There’s no obvious option to include these events. So if your recurring event is “Open Mic”, it will graciously display only the first one on your calendar. Kind of pointless.

WordPress Event Aggregator is an amazing tool to help run my calendar website. The support folks are very quick to respond and quick to resolution.
