• hi guys. your plugin is amazing. just one weakness i saw in it. it is better to determine our coordinates in custom for weather conditions and prediction. because this method is very accurate and many places are not exits in plugins. foe example there is tourist attraction website that want to show the weather condition of special waterfall in a small city in small country. no way in this plugin!!!!!

    best regards

    Hello Maysammech,

    Thank you for the feedback, as we always appreciate hearing from users about how we can improve.

    In earlier v. of the widget, we allowed end-users to select their current location to display weather information. However, this presented challenges in security and maintenance. And more importantly – it was not widely used by most of users.

    From our experience and user feedback, 98% of website owners prefer a straightforward and efficient weather widget that provides essential weather information without the need for precise coordinates.

    While the idea of pinpointing exact locations for weather updates is appealing, the practical impact on the overall user experience is minimal. Many users already have access to weather apps that they trust, and weather conditions can vary significantly even within small geographic areas.

    That being said, there are certain scenarios, such as areas with significant microclimates , where having exact latitude and longitude-based weather information could be beneficial.But; I’d recommend selecting the nearest major location as a practical compromise. You can edit location or header for clarity, if needed. Most users find this approach satisfactory, especially when the difference in weather conditions is not substantial.

    We’ll keep your suggestion in mind for future updates.

    It’s a shame that no coordinates are possible. For my use case regarding the weather and temperatures in a ski resort, the exact coordinates would be required. There can be significant differences between the mountain and valley stations and the next place is of no use at all.
    I’m very sorry. So I can’t use the plugin.
    Why can’t you specify the location and, alternatively, the coordinates like in other plugins?

    Best regards kurt
