hey i like your plugin but i want to know that i am going a city related website and i want to every related city weather in post is it possible.
to so any city weather with this plugin…
help me
It is a wonderful plug-in. Thank you! The only thing that I would add underneath is a a yellow dot (switch button) from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice-versa.
I don’t use widgets so I tried to use the shortcode and it didn’t work. Any advise?
I used the shortcode for different pages of my (future) website. It works …… but ….. the layout is not as great as in this website example. The weather image for ‘today’ is to far below and the ‘day’ boxes are to high. So they are more or less mixed true each other.
Probably I have to make some changes in the original code, but what do I have to change?
I used the following short code on my webpages.
[wp_google_weather city="longyearbyen" temperature="c" language="nl" forecast="1"]
I don’t know if Google updated their API and now your widget is broken but it is no longer working on my website. If you could look into it that would be great. I checked iGoogle and the weather is working fine there so I know they didn’t just abandon it.
Thanks

Thanks a lot
