WP Event Manager – Events Calendar, Registrations, Sell Tickets with WooCommerce

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.

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.

495 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 407 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 36% 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 16 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Even on a new WordPress installation with everything disabled except the core extension, I still receive the following error: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function display_event_ticket_option() Contacting support did not resolve the issue.

   This plugin did not work properly on our site and ended up crashing it. We also ran into repeated issues with the functionality itself. Parts of the product were not working as expected, and we were unable to get it running reliably. The support process was confusing. We received contradictory messages, our original ticket appeared to be replaced, and our latest message was not answered while we were warned that the ticket could be closed for inactivity. Based on our experience, this plugin was not reliable enough for use on a live business website.

   This plugin is absolutely not recommended – the documentation isn’t great, and the development process even worse – the devs recently pushed an update that broke many many installations (critical error, sites completely down), because they changed a huge number of function names that user templates relied on – WITHOUT ANY MENTION IN THE CHANGELOG that this was a breaking change.

   Good morning,I have been dealing with a license problem since 2025.It didn't work. I couldn't activate the plugin with the assigned license.I immediately contacted the support department about this and was told that they were working on it.After a while, I contacted them again, and then it was Cloudware's fault.So, I was fobbed off a number of times with a nonsense story.After some more back-and-forth messages, I requested a refund for my purchase.This was promised after 2 attempts, and it also appeared on my account that a refund had been issued.However, I have not received the amount to this very day.In response to my support inquiry, I received the answer that it had been refunded. My question regarding which account number it was transferred to was not answered.After a more legal email, I was suddenly told that they do not issue refunds due to their refund policy.However, this is completely at odds with what they have done and the confirmation I received from support multiple times.Since the license has simply been revoked as well, I have now paid for plugins that I cannot use, as is the intended purpose of a license.I would have liked to see this resolved, but I have become very hopeless.My advice regarding this company is therefore: DO NOT do business with them; there are plenty of alternatives that act properly.Hopefully, they will take action, and if so, I will certainly report it.

   I rarely leave negative reviews, but after spending more than $300 on WP Event Manager products and add-ons, I feel it is important to warn other developers and platform owners about my experience. I built an event platform using WP Event Manager, including several paid add-ons such as Sell Tickets, Emails, WPSeats and Calendar. From the beginning the system has been extremely unstable. Some of the most serious issues we encountered include the calendar view failing to load and getting stuck on loading or returning broken AJAX responses. Ticket prices randomly reset to £0 which makes events unusable. Seat selection and the WPSeats integration behave unpredictably and sometimes seats do not appear at all or produce errors. We also experienced fatal PHP errors coming from paid add-ons including undefined functions triggered during event publishing. On top of that, organizer users cannot reliably submit or publish events which defeats the purpose of running an event platform. We even had to patch the plugin code ourselves in order to keep the site running. For example we had to replace incorrect request sanitization with map_deep() to prevent 500 errors. This is something that should never be necessary when using paid plugins. Support has been slow and largely ineffective. Most responses repeat basic troubleshooting steps rather than addressing the underlying bugs. After several cycles of trying to fix things the same problems reappear or new ones surface. The most frustrating part is the refund policy. Despite the platform being unusable in production and the issues clearly originating from the plugins themselves, refunds were not offered. This leaves customers paying hundreds of dollars for a system that still requires significant debugging and patching. In summary the plugin ecosystem looks powerful on paper but in practice the stack is fragile and very sensitive to versions. Paid add-ons contain critical bugs and the support team does not provide engineering level fixes. The refund policy also leaves the customer carrying all the risk. If you are planning to build a serious ticketing or event platform be prepared for significant troubleshooting and developer work. I hope the team improves the stability of the core plugins and takes responsibility when paid components ship with critical issues. This topic was modified 4 months, 2 weeks ago by stanislavmitov.

   With almost every update something breaks.No real backward compatibility.If you customized the plugin with templates, you need to redo it frequently. This topic was modified 4 months, 2 weeks ago by eff16.

   Worst customer service I have seen. Code is trash, multiple issues…all the time and their support is terrible. They hardly ever answer chat and if they do they create a “Support Ticket” and guess what, the they do not answer th support tickets. Probably due to the high volume of support tickets they get because of their bad code.

   It’s a shame, it was actually a good idea. Unfortunately, there are too many errors and it’s far too complicated.
