Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Binimuse Geʽez Calendar version 1.0.0 as active, updated 4mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Binimuse Geʽez Calendar brings accurate Ethiopian calendar support to WordPress.
Convert and display dates between the Ethiopian (Geʽez) and Gregorian calendars anywhere on your site — in the block editor, with a shortcode, or from your own code. Output supports Amharic and English month names and both Geʽez (፩፪፫) and Arabic numerals.
The Ethiopian calendar has 13 months — twelve months of 30 days plus Pagumē — and runs roughly 7–8 years behind the Gregorian calendar. This plugin handles all of that correctly, including the Ethiopian leap-year cycle.
Features
Ethiopian Date block — a native Gutenberg block with a built-in Ethiopian date picker (13 months, leap-aware).
[ethio_date] shortcode — for the classic editor, widgets, and theme files.
Site-wide defaults — set your preferred format, language, and numeral system once.
REST API — an endpoint for converting dates programmatically.
Developer API — PHP helper functions for converting Ethiopian and Gregorian dates in your own themes and plugins.
Translation-ready — ships with an Amharic translation.
Conversion uses the established Beyene-Kudlek algorithm via Julian Day Numbers, validated against known reference dates, with correct handling of Pagumē (the 13th month) and the Ethiopian leap year.
