Upload plugin files to your plugins folder, or install using WordPress' built-in Add New Plugin installer 1. Activate the plugin 1. To add a forecast to your sidebar, go to Appearance, then Widgets. Click on the Wunderground widget and add it to a sidebar. 1. To embed a forecast in a post or page, use the `[wunderground]` "shortcode" as described on the plugin page's [Shortcode Parameter](https://github.com/katzwebservices/Wunderground#shortcode-parameters) guide. == Screenshots == 1. Widget configuration 1. Vertical Table layout 1. Horizontal Table layout == Frequently Asked Questions == = [Upgrading from 1.x] Where is the settings page? = Version 2.0 got rid of the default settings page; now shortcodes and widgets are configured individually. = [Upgrading from 1.x] My forecast looks different = Version 2.0 made lots of changes as to how the forecast is displayed. You can download the last update of the "1.x" version of the plugin here: **[Version 1.2.5.1](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wunderground.1.2.5.1.zip)** = [Upgrading from 1.x] My location can no longer be found = If your location isn't working any more, follow the steps below: * Go to Wunderground.com * In the "Search Locations" box, type in your location * Click on the location when it appears in the auto-complete box * When the page loads, copy the URL. It will likely look like this: `http://www.wunderground.com/q/zmw:00000.4.17340` * Copy the part of the URL after the `/q/`. In this example, it would be `zmw:00000.4.17340` * Use that as your location in the shortcode, like this: `[wunderground location="zmw:00000.4.17340" /]` * That should work! = How do I use my own icons? = If you want to use your own icons, you would add a filter to the bottom of your theme's functions.php file. See a [list of icons you should have available](http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/docs?d=resources/icon-sets). Here's sample code: 
add_filter('wp_wunderground_forecast_icon', 'use_custom_wunderground_icons', 10, 2 );

/**
 * @return string URL to the root folder of the icon set.
 */
function use_custom_wunderground_icons( $url_base = '', $icon_name = '' ) {
	return 'http://icons.wxug.com/i/c/a/';
}
= I want to modify the forecast output. How do I do that? = Please see the "Using your own template" section on the [Plugin Github page](https://github.com/katzwebservices/Wunderground) = I'm making changes to the settings, but nothing changes = The output of the widget is cached for speed. Add `?debug` to the URL and it will refresh. You can also add `add_filter( 'wunderground_twig_debug' '__return_true' );` to your functions.php file to disable caching during development. Only disable caching when absolutely necessary; it will slow down your site. = What is the plugin license? = This plugin is released under a GPL license. *Weather Underground is a registered trademark of The Weather Channel, LLC. both in the United States and internationally. The Weather Underground Logo is a trademark of Weather Underground, LLC.* = Do I need a Wunderground account? = Weather Underground has been very gracious and has provided the plugin with free data - you don't need your own account. If you want to use Wunderground data in your own application, [register for a Weather Underground API account](http://www.wunderground.com/?apiref=5f97d1e033236c26). == Changelog == = 2.1.1 on August 25, 2015 = * Fixed: WordPress 4.3 compatibility * Added: Display any errors while fetching forecasts to administrators * Updated: Polish translation (thanks Cezary!) and Brazilian Portuguese (thanks Filipe!) * Removed unused `` code in `table-horizontal.html` template * Updated: Twig template loader to version 1.21 from 1.18.1 = 2.1 on April 29, 2015 = * Added: Now supports Weather Underground Severe Weather alerts & warnings * Fixed: Issue using multi-word cities (thanks [@christianriley](https://github.com/christianriley)!) * Fixed: Restored `alt` text for icon when using the Current template * Fixed: Widget preview for "Old School" icon set * Fixed: Fatal error if plugin or theme already used Twig template loader * Fixed: Replace Icon Set FAQ code * Updated: Translations - thanks to all the translators! - Slovenian: Aleš Hočevar - Bosnian: Marko Saraba = 2.0.11 on December 4 = * Fixed: Fatal error when no location is set in shortcode * Fixed: Link to Wunderground now goes to forecast URL, not the weather station URL * Fixed: Support lowercase `language` parameters in the shortcode (`fr`, not only `FR`) * Fixed: Japanese Wunderground subdomain (nihongo.wunderground.com) * Fixed: Duplicate forecasts in Horizontal Table layout ([reported here](https://github.com/katzwebservices/Wunderground/issues/12)) * Fix: Remove erroneous PHP code in `` tag * Tweak: Make icon names case insensitive.

You can force Twig debug mode by adding `add_filter( 'wunderground_twig_debug' '__return_true' );` to your theme's `functions.php` file. You can also enable debug mode if you're logged in as an Administrator by adding `?debug` to your current page's URL. = 2.0.1 = * Added: `location_title` parameter.

Not recommended; will dramatically slow down site. * If you want to refresh the results, you can add `?cache=false` to your URL and the forecast will be updated. * Added "width" option to shortcode to define table width. `100%` is the default. Use `width=0` or `width=` to disable hard-coding width in table. * Changed the default high/low setting to add the degree symbol. * Removed code whitespace when storing table for added speed * Added CSS classes to forecast columns based on weather conditions. This will allow you to make "Partly Cloudy" columns gray, "Sunny" blue, etc. * Added three new filters: * `wp_wunderground_forecast_cache` - How long results are cached for.
