My WordPress plugin for the Windy.com widget was updated today, adding the following features and changes:
- Re-named plugin from ‘Weather Map Widget’ to ‘Ventus – Weather Map Widget & Shortcode’.
- Added new shortcode alias
ventus(the old shortcodeweather-maphas been maintained for backwards-compatibility). - Added four new layers to select from: CO Concentration (cosc), Sea Temperature (sst), Snow Cover (snowcover) and Waves (waves).
- Added general translation support and a French translation.
- Added ability to choose from the following wind measurement units: beaufort (bft), kilometers per hour (km/h), knots (kt), meters per second (m/s) and miles per hour (mph).
- Added ability to show/hide the map marker.
- Added ability to show/hide to show hide pressure isolines.
- Re-factored code (classes, package names, text domain etc) to reflect new plugin name.
It’s free to download from the official WordPress repository.
I cant seem to get this synced with Springfield Illinois. I’m at 39.7676N and 89.6807W. I tried entering these numbers and end up in mongolia or china.
Hi David, try entering in a latitude of 39.790 and a longitude of -89.625; that should center you over Springfield Illinois. If you’re ever unsure of co-ordinates, try them out first over at the full windy.com website. E.g. windy.com/39.760/-89.625.
