77 Quality Score

Active Installs

16/30

With roughly 4,000 active installs, it sits in a healthy mid-range niche, which is strong for a regional Bangla plugin.

Update Freshness

25/25

The last updated timestamp is very recent (July 2026) and it claims compatibility with WordPress 7.0, so the maintenance signal is excellent.

User Rating

14/15

An average rating of 92 out of 100 from 11 reviewers is a strong endorsement for a niche plugin, though the small sample size limits its statistical weight.

Support Health

8/15

No support threads opened and none resolved is a concern, since it may simply reflect low visibility or a small user base rather than a healthy track record.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatibility earns a perfect score: it works down to PHP 5.6 and WordPress 3.0, and is tested against WordPress 7.0, which is unusually broad.

What It Does

Bangla Date Display shows the current date in Bangla, Gregorian, and Hijri calendars on a WordPress site, plus a Bangla-language archive calendar widget. It exposes both a sidebar widget and shortcodes, so the date block can be dropped into posts, pages, or theme areas with minimal configuration.

Who It's For

This plugin is built for Bengali-speaking site owners, news publishers, blogs, and community portals that want visitors to see dates in Bangla alongside or instead of the standard Gregorian format. It is also useful for sites serving Muslim audiences who need a parallel Hijri date display. Sites with no Bangla-language readership will find no value in it.

Who Should Skip It

If your audience reads English or another non-Bangla language exclusively, this plugin adds clutter for zero benefit. Skip it if you only need a standard Gregorian date widget, since a simple theme widget or generic date plugin will do the job with less configuration.

The Bottom Line

Bangla Date Display is a focused, well-maintained niche plugin that delivers exactly what its name promises, and the 77.43 overall score reflects solid maintenance and compatibility against a limited-but-positive rating pool. The weak support data and tiny review count mean you should test it on a staging site before committing, but for any Bangla-language site it does the job reliably.
