Fantastic – thanks Zack..

Hey guys,

See post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/icons-ecast-hosed?replies=22 for solutions and work-a-round.

good luck

Thanks to LingoSam, dmh123c and Racer really. They set myself and everyone on the right path..

However, I will of course take FULL credit for everything…

haha ??

haha… though you’re quite right Racer. It’s a very roundabout way of doing things and generally I’m not a big fan of my users messing around with core theme files.

An override in the plugin itself makes much more sense.

Plugin is good though – about the only one I’ve found that allows you to use shortcodes and custom formatting….

Hi John,

Just add the code to your theme’s functions.php file. Change the $myIconFolder path to your image path.

Basically this code just tells the plugin to replace the path to the Wunderground icon server to your own local folder.

As to icon names – if you grab them from https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/docs?d=resources/icon-sets they are already correctly named to correspond to the different weather events.

hope that helps.

Good tip Racer.

The icons disappeared again but cache=false fixed it.

This may fix your issues as well Jeff.

Lingo the following page has a full list of icon-sets: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/docs?d=resources/icon-sets

Shame they’re not zipped – pain to have to save as image each one – but they are correctly named so…

good luck all…

Hi LingoSam,

No i did understand you ?? and made the correct entries.

I’ve actually used the short-codes option with custom formatting although this should still work.

EDIT: Re-installed the plugin made the changes again and it’s now working..

Bizzare..

Agree with your comment – free bandwidth is probably the issue – I may just re-code the PHP to use local images – as this new server may go offline soon as well.

Thanks for all your help mate – appreciated ??

Thanks for the tip LingoSam.

I’m impatient lol

Tbh I’d already replaced all instances of the URL with the new URL – in TextCrawler.

Problem is that https://icons-ak.wxug.com/ doesn’t work either – just generating 403 and 404’s.. ??

Do we know if this is a temporary issue? Or if Wunderground are discontinuing hosting of the icon-sets?

thanks again mate

Hey dmh123c.

Good work on finding a fix. I’m struggling to find the icons.ak server you mention. I tried: https://icons-ak.wxug.com/ but not available for me?

any tips? thanks

I had the same problem recently. Did you ever find a fix for this?

thanks

Hi jholter,

Please see my previous post regarding Download Manager.

Certainly has been working a treat for me.

Hi Jim,

I’ve actually found a solution for myself – i think it might work for you. Download Manager: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/ There is a free version (which is enough for me) and a paid version with more features.

Basically all the sites share a single database of downloads – which means they share download counts etc. So for me its perfect – as quite often the same file will be listed on 1 or more blogs. Its also got some other great features.

Also no issues with paths as I network activated the plugin and all downloads are stored in the uploads folder of the main root site: /wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files, though can also be changed to an external server etc.

Just install the plugin per site for your use and it works fine with paths – so I’ve read.

Anyway works for me on Multisite 3.2.1, with subfolders.

good luck Jim

OMG Yes – this is exactly what I need!!!
Though judging by the date of your post its probably not possible! ??

Hey Jim,

Having a similar problem in Multisite. If i network activate the download monitor plugin then downloads work fine per site i.e. if a download is set on the main site – it works on the main site, if a download is set on a sub-site it works fine on that site.

However, sites do not share download monitor info between each other – i.e. if a download is set on the main site – then sub sites show message [download not found].

Real shame as my client loves this plugin and am struggling to fix this!!

Thanks a lot Andrea – appreciate your replies and the answers!!!

cheers
