Plugin should be removed from the WordPress plugin Repository as it doesn’t work without a paid subscription.
Either that or it should be updated to tell people it no longer works without a payed subscription.
]]>It looks like weather.com will cease to offer free forecast feeds as of November 15. I had a look at the ‘offerings’ proposed in the email I received below, but I’m not paying $20/month for weather data. Looks like I’ll have to find a new provider for weather information and re-write the plugin to use that…or let it die.

]]>hi, great plugin, Thanks!!
I was just wondering how I can modify the display so that is looks nicer. I want to make it look a bit more like the actual weather.com page: https://www.weather.com/weather/today/Darwin+Australia+ASXX0032
I am comfortable editing CSS, but can’t seem to figure out where or what I would edit.
You can see my weather page here: https://darwinhub.com/tourist-tips/darwin-weather/
Thanks so much!
]]>i would like to ask if we can have the location id argument inside weather_display(); function like we can in shortcode ie [weather_display location_id=”GRXX0041″]. In shortcode we can have arguments like the one displayed above or Forecast length (in days) but this approach does not work on the function ??
If i manage to get something like:
$locid=GRXX0041
weather_display($locid);
i could just insert a custom field with the location id of every post (which is actually a destination), retrieve this using get_post_meta and assign it to weather_display() function.
This is very useful for dynamic weather display on a sidebar widget. It can already be done as you know inside a post, using the shortcode (something that is not an option for my website)
thanks for any reply
