Weather Icon Font by me Erik FLowers Weather Icons licensed under SIL OFL 1.1 Installation: Install via the WordPress plugin admin dialog (search for wp-forecast) or Upload to your plugins folder, usually wp-content/plugins/, keeping the directory structure intact (i.e. wp-forecast.php should end up in wp-content/plugins/wp-forecast/). Activate the plugin on the plugin screen. Visit the configuration page (Options -> WP-forecast) to pick the number of widgets, data to display and to change any other option. Visit the Themes/Widgets page to place your wp-forecast widget within your themes sidebars or insert it manually and edit your template file and put the wp-forecast function where you want your weather data to show up. Example: ); } ?> You have to replace with the choosen widget id. For the first widget use wp_forecast(“A”), for the second wp_forecast(“B”) and so on. In most cases it is advisable to put the call into a div environment. Optional If you would like to have another set of icons download it from http://accunet.accuweather.com/wx/accunet/graphics_icons.htm and put it into the wp-content/plugins/wp-forecast/icons folder Optional If you would like to change the style, just edit wp-forecast.css there are three classes div.wp-forecast for outer formatting, table.wp-forecast for the middle part or iconpart and wp-forecast-details for everything below the icon Translations wp-forecast comes with various translations, located in the directory lang. if you would like to add a new translation, just take the file wp-forecast.pot (in the wp-forecast main directory) copy it to wp-forecast_-.po and edit it to add your translations (e.g. with poedit). Please be aware that the number codes stand for the weather-situations. you can see the mapping in wp-forecast-en_US-en_US.po. there are also the letters N, S, W, E they stand for the winddirections and can be translates either. To use your own translation, a different one as the default just rename the appropriate file wp-forecast_-.po and wp-forecast_-.mo To add your translations online at the Translate WordPress project please visit https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wp-forecast. This should be the prefered way from now on.
