1.7%

of downloads still active

At least 20K of 1.2M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 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 25 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.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

17 of the last 30 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 8 of those landed between 2026-03-12 and 2026-03-30.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.
