WP Events Manager

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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 · 79% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   This plugin performs exceptionally well when it functions properly. Unfortunately, for a long time now, updates have repeatedly caused serious issues, ranging from breaking my website entirely to key features suddenly stopping working.Over time, I’ve learned not to install updates immediately, as it often takes several weeks before the developers resolve the bugs introduced in the latest release. This lack of reliability makes it difficult to trust the plugin in a production environment. It also creates unnecessary stress around updating WordPress itself, since every update risks additional troubleshooting and significant extra work just to maintain a stable website.

   It misses some of the mainly features for an event plugin. One above all: the events are not displayed in chronological order.

   This could be a great plugin, but misses so many important/simple features:1. Time Zone for national businesses with multiple locations/events 2. Display customization (Calendar view, week view, sort, search,…) 3.Coupon Codes 4. Date picker does not work!!! 5. Embed map of venue 6. Event contact info and so on Would be more efficient to work with the popular WP Events Manager plugin

   Nice plugin. Works okay but what stops me from buying it is the lack of currencies. Having to hack the ZAR currency into the thing when that currency is standard in Woocommerce for example, is silly.

   O ciente é obrigado a registrar uma conta para poder comprar o evento e isso é ruim. não há opção para configurar isso.
