Better Core Video Embeds vs WFY24 Weather Widget

This plugin provides page optimisations for pages and posts which have embedded Youtube, Vimeo or Daily Motion videos which have been added using the core embed block. Without this plugin, when using the core embed block, when your page loads, lots of external scripts and styles are loaded from the embed service, regardless of whether a visitor actually interacts with the embedded video. This plugin prevents these scripts and styles from loading until the user actually interacts with the video. It does this by replacing the video embed, on page load with the video thumbnail image (added on Youtube, Vimeo or Daily Motion). When a user clicks the thumbnail the embedded video, along with associated scripts and styles are loaded.

WFY24 Weather Widget lets you embed a free, fully-featured weather widget on any WordPress site — in any post, page, or sidebar — with a single shortcode, Gutenberg block, or built-in sidebar widget. Zero-friction setup On activation, a welcome wizard walks you through three clicks: Activate — we auto-register your site with wfy24.com using your admin email. No external signup. No copy/paste. Create Weather page — optionally publish a “Weather” page with the widget ready to go. Add to sidebar — one-click inject a compact weather widget into your first sidebar. Features Free version with a small “Weather by WFY24” attribution link under each widget (disclosed and consented to during activation). No credit card, no hidden fees, no ads.

Attribution The free version of this plugin displays a small “Weather by WFY24” link under each rendered widget. The onboarding wizard shows an explicit disclosure notice and asks for your consent before the “Activate now (free)” button; clicking that button is your explicit permission to enable the link. To remove the attribution, a Pro version is available at wfy24.com/en/widgets/pro. External service This plugin connects to the WFY24 weather service at https://www.wfy24.com: Plugin activation: POSTs to /api/widget/register-from-plugin with the email you confirmed in the onboarding form (pre-filled from Settings → General; editable inline before activation), site name, site domain, WordPress version, and plugin version, in order to automatically provision your free API key. No activation happens without your explicit click on the “Activate now (free)” button. City search (admin only, when typing in the Default City field): the plugin’s REST endpoint /wp-json/wfy24/v1/cities proxies your search query (e.g. “athens”) to /api/places/search server-side. Your search query is sent along with a User-Agent identifying the plugin. Results (slug + label + country flag) are cached for 5 minutes per query. The admin’s IP is never exposed cross-origin because the request is server-to-server. Widget rendering (client-side on visitor browsers): loads widget.js and queries /api/widget/data. The widget sends the API key, optional city slug, language/units/theme preferences, and a data-geolocation flag (off by default — visitor location is not detected unless the admin explicitly opts in via the “Auto-detect visitor location” toggle). When the toggle is on AND the visitor grants permission, the visitor’s latitude/longitude is sent; when geolocation is denied, the visitor’s IP address is used for IP-based city detection (still gated by the toggle). No personal data is stored beyond standard anonymized request logs for rate limiting. Pro upgrade flow (only if the user clicks “Upgrade to Pro” in Settings): GETs /api/widget/pro/status and POSTs to /api/widget/pro/checkout and /api/widget/pro/portal to provision a Stripe Checkout session and a Stripe Billing Portal session. No data is sent unless the admin clicks the relevant button. Links: WFY24 Terms of Service: https://www.wfy24.com/en/terms WFY24 Privacy Policy: https://www.wfy24.com/en/privacy-policy Multisite Support The plugin is multisite-compatible. All settings (API key, defaults, page) are stored per-subsite using get_option()/add_option(), so each subsite operates independently. Network Activation does not contact wfy24.com. It only loads the plugin code on every subsite. No admin_email is sent, no API key is created, no automatic phone-home occurs. Each subsite admin completes onboarding individually. When the admin opens the welcome wizard on a subsite and clicks “Activate now (free)”, the plugin sends that subsite’s domain and Settings → General → Email Address to wfy24.com to obtain a domain-bound API key. The admin is shown a dynamic disclosure of the exact values that will be transmitted before clicking — no consent is collected on behalf of admins of other subsites. New subsites added later remain inactive until their admin runs onboarding manually. The widget will not render on a subsite that has not been activated; no data leaves WordPress until an admin explicitly clicks Activate on that subsite. No centralized network admin panel exists in this version — each subsite has its own settings page. A network-level overview is on the roadmap. API keys are domain-bound. A key issued for site-a.example.com will not function on site-b.example.com, which means subdomain and domain-mapped multisite installs work correctly out of the box (each subsite gets its own key for its own domain).
