You can add the above from the main plugin file i would also advice leaving the MINUTE_IN_SECONDS to around 20 mins so you don’t get rate limited by the API for making too many request within a short time.

You can download the updated plugin here.

@meganmante

How can we reset the update time to 2 min.

To reset the cache update time to 2 minutes, you need to adjust the cache expiration value in the code. Change the cache_expiration variable to use MINUTE_IN_SECONDS * 2, which will set it to 2 minutes.

And one more question where do i have to put the css script in to elementor

You don’t need to put any CSS into Elementor. All CSS needs to go inside the php code or added separately inside the plugin files which is usually the best practice then you can enqueue the css file from the php code.

To make it easier for you I’ve update the plugin again which you can download here to show this structure as it should be and also update the time to 2 min. please work to modify the plugin to meet any specification you’d like. The styling should look nice at least for now until you update it further to meet your needs.

@meganmante

You can add styling and like CSS and HTML to make it look the way you want as i’ve done below. When you have the time you can also hire a developer to style the plugin to meet your site specification. You can download the modification which i added the space here.

Yes, since the XML data from the API contains a <FullText> field that includes the primary information you want to display, then accessing $message->FullText is the way to go.

@meganmante

Good to know you were able to get the plugin to work to modify the plugin to display only the FullText field from each traffic message, you can update the foreach loop to check specifically for that field.

You can download the new modified plugin here that will display the FullText field only. You just need to update the previous plugin with this new version to see only the FullText field on the response.

Look like the link got expired. Please download here as soon as you can before it expires again.

@meganmante,

Please follow the steps below to use the plugin.

• Download the plugin from here – https://file.io/RfKuedub1CqT
• Install and activate the plugin from WordPress admin > plugins
• Add this shortcode [anwb_traffic_info] on elementor with the steps here to any of your page/post and save your page

Once you follow the above process you see the traffic data displaying on the page/post you added it to.

@meganmante

You can follow the steps here on the link to add a shortcode on your page/post from Elementor.

I hope that helps ??

Hi @meganmante

We’re unable to help further than this but for now the plugin above should work 90% to output the response from the above API when you install the plugin add the shortcode [anwb_traffic_info] to any page or post where you want the traffic data to appear.

You’re welcome to reach out to a developer to help expand the functionality further, just wanted to demonstrate how you can make it work.

Hello @meganmante

To be able to get the content from the above API you’ll need to develop a custom plugin that can query the XML API – https://cris-admin.anwb.nl/export-api/v1/pqfeed/latest and the display the response via shortcode.

This can be typically done by consulting a WordPress developer. To help you get started if it’s something you’d like to do yourself you can work with the sample plugin below as a start point. The plugin is currently working when i tested it, your API key is already added to the plugin code

Save the above code as a PHP file e.g., anwb-traffic-info.php inside your plugins directory. then enable the anwb-traffic-info plugin.

Once it’s enabled, add the shortcode [anwb_traffic_info] to any page or post where you want the traffic data to appear. Please ensure you work further on the plugin to improve the functionality before using it on a production site.

Hello @wakewakeup ,

This is likely due to URL mismatch between the site URL settings and the one on the database.

You might consider running a search-replace on the site to make sure “www” is consistently added to the site then clear your site cache.

Best,

If you choose to do it grammatically you can use the wp_get_post_revisions() Function on your code to get the revision history and process it the way you’d like to display it or you can display it via simple widget.

Hello @thomasjowens

While it’s possible to display list published revision history for post or page on your website for users that are not logged in, it may require you to do it programmatically with the use of a custom code which you’ll need to develop yourself as most of the plugin you might find on the WP.org library like – Simple History might not work exactly as you want it.

Hello @mohsen2677

Sorry that you’re running into this issue!

The error may indicates that there was a temporary issue with Google’s indexing function when you attempted to submit your request, I can see that the error message did not provide enough information relating to the potential issue.

You might consider taking a look at this thread – Google Search Console help forum thread – Oops! Something went wrong We had a problem and also if your website is behind Cloudflare firewall you might need to remove the proxy temporarily then try again or I would suggest you contact Google support for help.

Best,

Hi @matthewbaynham

There are some few options you can consider if you don’t want to spend money or much money writing up the GDPR. You can use Legal Text Generators tool online like https://termly.io/ – They can handle minimal compliance for zero cost but you might need to pay a small fee for something comprehensive, many plugin developers use generated templates which are GDPR compliant.

One platform that can sale your plugin and handle sales, licensing, compliance etc which you can try is Freemius.

I hope this helps.

Best,
