    Alfie is exactly what I’m looking for, but unfortunately doesn’t work well for me. When I installed it in my WP test installation, it displayed, but my archive listings get aligned to right side. In another WP installation, only the widget title is displayed – maybe a conflict with some plugin. Can I get some help?

    As for the right alignment issue, removing .right{text-align:right;float:right} from widget.min.css resolved the issue for me, as suggested at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/alfie-wp-weathercsswidgetmincss?replies=2. Hope this will help you in making the required modifications in the next version.

    But still I can’t get it to work in some of my WP installations. Hope there will be some support.

    Still can’t configure why it isn’t working on my development installation, while it works well in my test installation. Verified that it isn’t a plugin compatibility issue as I use same plugins in both the installations. Bummer ??

    I’ve surrendered. Tried to figure out the issue, but failed. Hope someone from the Alfie team will come to my rescue. I’ll really miss this plugin. It seemed to be working well, and it’s exactly what I’d been looking for, for quite a few months. Anyway, I feel lucky to have found this plugin and tried it. Hopefully I’ll be able to get it to work with someone’s help.

    Hi and sorry for the delay,

    The aligning issue apparently was solved in the current version, only the minified version didn’t get updated. Will be corrected in the next release. As for the issues with the plugin displaying correctly, could you send us an URL to the installation that is throwing errors, so we can investigate it?

    Thank you.

    Best regards.

    Thanks for the response. Glad to see that you’re always there to support. Such a great plugin will surely have such a great supporting staff behind it.

    Is there any other means to contact you so that I can share the links with you? Just because I’m developing my site and would prefer to keep it private.

    Hi,

    The problem with your installation is related to your server configuration. The solution is described here -> https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/widget-only-displaying-title

    Hope it helps.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the suggestion. In fact, I’d gone through the suggested thread and had enabled allow_url_fopen in my php.ini. I checked it again and made sure that it’s still on. Alfie still isn’t working for me.

    Also, both the working and not-working installations are on the same server. So it seems that the issue is somewhere else.

    Hope you’ll help.

    Hi,

    Apparently the server is returning a 403 error on feed request, so something is blocking it.

    Try this url, replacing yourdomain.com with your actual domain root and you’ll see the actual error message. Instead of that error message you should get a JSON object.

    yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/alfie-wp-weather/getfeed.php?woeid=868274&unit=c&image=1&country=1&highlow=1&wind=1&humidity=1&visibility=1&sunrise=1&sunset=1&forecast=1&forecast_image=0

    Best regards.

    Hi,

    Many thanks. For the /new installation, the problem was exactly what you mentioned. There was a 403 error as I was protecting my wp-content directory using the following code in .htaccess:

    # Protect /wp-content Directory
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    <files ~ ".(xml|css|jpe?g|png|gif|js|ttf)$">
    allow from all
    </files>

    Hope you’ll let me know what file types should I add in the allowed file types list.

    Still, for the main installation (mydomain.com), there’s no 403 error, but Alfie isn’t showing up. It isn’t important for me as I’ll remove the installation soon, but some solution may be helpful for some others here.

    Solved the issue in my main installation by allowing the getfeed.php file using .htaccess in the wp-content folder:

    # Protect /wp-content Directory
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    <files ~ ".(xml|css|jpe?g|png|gif|js|ttf)$">
    allow from all
    </files>
    
    # Allow getfeed.php file of Alfie WP Weather plugin
    <Files getfeed.php>
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
    </Files>

    Hope you’ll check what’s wrong with my main installation.

    Sorry, solved the issue in my /new subdirectory installation using the code mentioned above.

    I’ll give you 5 stars ?? Also I’ll mark it as working with WP 3.8.

    Issue in the main installation is not figured out. Hope you’ll check.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the input, we really appreciate it ??

    The only issue we’re able to see now in your installations are related to inline js minification. You could try disabling it, to get the widget working correctly.

    Best regards.

    Exactly. I had enabled inline JS minification in W3TC, which caused the issue. Disabled it and the widget is working fine.

    I think you can do something to make the widget compatible with inline JS minification too ??

    Thanks again. Marking the issue as resolved.
