Hi,

Please try to add the following custom css:

.astero {
    font-size: 20px !important;
}

Adjust “20px” to your preference.

If this doesn’t work, please provide your website so I can take a look.

Hi,

Please make sure you have applied for a free Dark Sky API from https://darksky.net/dev/register and entered it under Dashboard > Settings > Astero Weather.

If you still can’t retrieve any weather data, please leave your website URL so I can take a look.

Hi,

The location name depends on the value that Google Map API returns, so it’s hard to control, as Google Map API may return different terms for different countries. One way is to use css to truncate the location and add ellipsis (...) to the overflowing text.

Example:

.astero-location {
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    max-width: 150px;
}

You can change the value of max-width depending on your needs.

The built in way to use the user’s location is to select “Html5 Geolocation with IP fallback (HTTPS Sites Only)” or “IP Detection Only” in the weather settings.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Sorry this plugin only provides current weather and weather predictions for the next few days.

Regards

This can usually be fixed with some css. However your support is expired.

Could you renew your support and provide a link to your site? I’ll take a look.

Thanks.

Hi,

You’re missing the API key.

Please register for a free Dark Sky API key, and save the API key under Dashboard > Settings > Astero Weather.

You can find instructions on where to register on the settings page above.

Note that the API key contains only numbers and letters.

How can I register for free dark Sky API key ? Please send me link

Hi,

You can register here: https://darksky.net/dev/register

The free API key gets you 1000 calls per day.

Regards

I was being a dumbass, forgot the API key, all good now.

Cool, glad you figured it out!

Regards

Hi,

Do you have a link where I can take look?

When this happens it’s usually down to either of the following problem:

1. You need to clear cache. Browser cache, backend cache and Cloudflare (if you use this service).

2. The stylesheet cannot be updated because of folder or file permissions. /wp-content/plugins/astero/public/css/custom.css should have 0775 permission.

Regards

Hi,

It can be easily reduced with css.

Hi,

1. You can upload different custom images for up to 7 weather conditions. Only 1 video file is supported, ie. the same video background is shown for all weather conditions.

To upload custom images, go to Dashboard > Astero Weather > Edit your weather > Background Style > Image Background

You’ll see tabs for up to 7 weather conditions.

2. Sorry there is currently no way to set the weather location dynamically. If there are not that many locations, perhaps you can create the different locations first in the backend, then use PHP on your template to echo the appropriate shortcode for the weather based on the article’s tag.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

On the download page, you will find two files to download.

- main.zip contains the documentation. Extract it and you will find the documentation folder

- astero.zip is the installable WordPress plugin file.

Hope this helps.

Hi Zach,

1. This plugin no longer supports Openweathermap. It only supports Dark Sky now. And yes, you need to apply for a free Dark Sky API. The free API provides 1000 free calls per day. You can find more details here: https://darksky.net/dev

2. To set a fixed location for the weather you need to enter the latitude and longitude manually. To check whether your location is supported, please visit https://darksky.net/ and search for your location. The weather results on that site will be the same as the one you get from the plugin.

3. Yes, this plugin supports custom images for 7 different weather conditions: Clear, Clear Night, Cloudy, Rain, Thunderstorm, Foggy and Snow. 1 custom image is supported for each condition, and if you have uploaded a custom image for that weather condition, the plugin will automatically display that image instead of the default image.

4. I don’t have plans for major updates for this plugin, so it is only updated sometimes for security or WordPress major upgrades. I have no plans to phase it out soon.

Regards

Hi,

Try the following css:

.astero-credit {
    display: none;
}

Hi,

Thank you for your inquiry.

You can view a demo of this plugin here: http://demo.archtheme.com/astero/

Regards

Thank you, much appreciated.

Thanks a lot … Awesome !! Already Done. But I have question.

Sunrise and Sunset Can not display in local time?

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry I don’t get it. The sunrise and sunset time shown should be the time for sunrise and sunset for the location of the weather.

Did you want to display it in your local language?

Regards

Thank you for quick response.

No language problems.

Have a nice weekend !!

Hi,

Thank you for your inquiry.

If your site supports https, then yes this will work. Even if your website doesn’t use https, the plugin can detect the user location through their IP address.

Regards

Hi,

Try the following css:

.asterofont-dot:before {
    content: '';
}

.asterofont-dot:first-child:after {
    content: 'Expand more';
}

Replace “Expand more” with whatever text you like.

To set a full info shortcode, simply create a new weather display under Dashboard > Astero Weather > Add New Weather, and for “Layout” select “Full Forecast Layout”. You will get a new shortcode, and you can add it anywhere you like (on another page, or even on the same page as another weather shortcode).

Hope this helps.

Hi yes it uses https and yes i’ve tried html5 geolocation but it’s not working for some users. Yes i can provide you a link but in private cause i have to give you login and password. regards. Mathieu

But it there a way to just memorize the city choosen by the user in the widget for the next visits?

Hi,

Yes, HTML5 geolocation will not work if the user has opted to not provide their location in their browser settings. That’s why IP detection was provided as a backup.

Sorry, currently there is no way to memorize the user location by cookies or cache.

Regards

Hi,

This is what I see when I visit your site: https://i.imgur.com/AWWUIaq.jpg

Can you elaborate on the problem you have, or the provide a screenshot of the error?

Thanks.

Hi,

The weather cannot be loaded because of the following error: “daily usage limit exceeded”

Dark Sky API provides 1000 free calls per day. You can check their pricing here for additional calls: https://darksky.net/dev

Hope this helps.

Regards

No sorry i did not undestand – i bought a plugin from you – and you are telling me that i have to pay once again another business to let it go?

Hi,

If that doesn’t work for you you can send me an email at support@archtheme.com and I’ll see how else I can help you.

However it is the same for all weather plugins. The weather information is provided by a third party. Most weather providers have a number of free calls and will start charging afterwards.

Think of it like an SMS sort of plugin. A WordPress SMS plugin can help set up SMS messaging on your website, but the plugin cannot provide SMS service for free.

Dark Sky (the weather provider) will provide 1000 free calls daily, this API limit is also listed on the plugin description.
