[Plugin: wp-forecast] Forecast location found, but won’t show on page

    I’m trying the following location: EUR|ES|SP017|Getxo|

    The plugin correctly finds and places the location in the box for me, I update my options, but then on the actual site it says “Accuweather failure notice: Location does not exist.”

    Searching for EUR|ES|SP017|Getxo| on Accuweather.com takes me to the right forecast, and it shows it in the URL just like that. Is there some kind of cache or something? I set the interval to 1 second to see if it would help. Changing it to nearby Bilbao works fine. Are some cities just not supported?

    Edit: not sure why it didn’t work, but I changed it to a town inside the city and it’s working now.

  • Did you ever figure out how to get this plugin to work?

    I’m still trying to figure out what to put in this location field?

    Ineed the weather for South Lake Tahoe.

    So where do I find the right settings for this?

    this doesn’t work:
    US|CA|GM010|SOUTH LAKE TAHOE

    hi keyrat,
    I just it and found the same problem it seems to be a problem with wp-forecast. can you get the weather for another city, e.g. madrid?

    hi ddweb,

    I searched you location via the plugins search function and got “Lake Tahoe/CA”, selected it and the location code is AB957. thats because it is in the us, the accuweather codes in us are numbered ones, not geographic. I did not find south lake tahoe, via the accuweather search. well, I hope its near to your site though.

    hi keyrat,

    got it. the problem is that accuweather sends the name of the region somehow not correctly encoded. there is one letter in “Pa?s Vasco” which seems to be a special spanish one.

    you can fix it as follows:

    please change line 114 in wp-forecast.php to
    $weather=accu_xml_parser(utf8_encode($w));

    would be great to hear, if it works ??
