Hi, I´m interesting in this weather plugin, 2 questions please:
1.The information you show can be translated into Spanish?
2. I would like to show the weather by city, for example,
in my wordpress if I’m going to have one page per city the weather in madrid the weather in barcelona the weather in Zaragoza the weather in valencia
Could you use the plugin in the header for each page independently showing on each page the weather of the city separately ?, or the plugin can only display a city in the sidebar
Thanks Regards
Hi,
1. You can choose “Spanish” in the weather settings so Dark Sky will return weather information in Spanish. You will also need to prepare a translation file for the hard-coded words to translate from English to Spanish (instructions are included in the Translation section in the documentation).
2. You can create unlimited weather displays that shows the weather for different cities. You can then include those weather displays on your site through Shortcode or Widget. You can even display multiple weather displays on the same page. However, this plugin currently cannot display weather information dynamically, so you will need to set the required cities in the backend first.
Hope this helps.
Regards
I added the plugin at https://bookitbuddy.online/weather . It searches for my correct location fine. However, when I search for another location, the information is blank. It seems that Google search doesn’t work although i have the correct keys. and the hit registers on the Google dashboard. Please help!
Hi,
There is a console error code:
Geocoding Service: This API project is not authorized to use this API. For more information on authentication and Google Maps JavaScript API services please see: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key
Please make sure that your site is allowed in the HTTP referrer for your Google Map API Key, or that there are no restrictions.
In the Google Console API Key dashboard, enter your site under “HTTP referrers (web sites)” in a similar format:
bookitbuddy.online/ www.bookitbuddy.online/*
The settings can take a while (10 minutes or more) to activate.
In some cases, I find that regenerating the API key is required.

hello, I would like to know if your plugin work with shortcode with latitude and longitude to take it directly in a listing who have already coordinates ?
Hi,
Sorry the plugin currently does not have this function.
Regards
I just and I have a map with multiple locations that i want to add weather info for each location, e.g. if you click on the icon for a location at 19111 peachtree st, Atlanta it shows the weather for there and so on… thanks. I would like to add a shortcode to the popover, tiltlepost, directory and etc. for each location on the map.
Hi,
After you install and activate the plugin, you should see a new menu item called “Astero Weather”. When you hover over that button, you can “Add New Weather” with different weather locations and settings, then display them through shortcode on your site.
Please see screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/FBGrBJx.png
Hope this helps.

I have no custom ability inside the plugin only areas to set up API keys. Am I missing something? Please help.
Hi,
I can’t see anything on the plugin, I only have the dots dancing in the data….what should I do?
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure you have entered the Dark Sky API under Settings > Astero Weather.
The API key should only consist of numbers and letters.
If weather data is still not loading, please provide your website so I can take a look.
Regards
Hi,
Sure, I haven’t entered the dark sky API, now it’s showing data, but the wind speed is showing in m/s, is it possible to show it in km/h? And, how can I show two more days after the current day?
Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry the wind speed unit is fixed from the data provided by Dark Sky.
In your weather settings, you can try setting the Layout to “Full Forecast Layout” to show the current week’s weather.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Hi,
If I enter into dark sky I can see four options: – ºF, mph – ºC, m/s – ºC, Km/h – ºC, mph
Is it not possible to choose between the values that get dark sky?
Referring to the week’s weather, I have selected the option “Full Forecast Layout” but it does not work, is there another option to choose?
Thanks
Hi,
You are right. To get km/h for wind speed please edit the following file.
1. Open /wp-content/plugins/astero/public/astero-public.php through FTP 2. On line 148, change the following line from:
$units = $custom[‘units’] 'metric' ? 'si' : 'us';
to
$units = $custom['units'] ‘metric’ ? ‘ca’ : ‘us’;
3. Save the file. Remember to clear cache on your browser and backend.
How is “Full Forecast Layout” not working for you? Do you have a site or screenshot that I can take a look? Is the weather not loading?
Regards
Hi,
I have changed what you have said but I follow seeing the wind as m/s, what more does I need? Referring to the “Full Forecast Layout”, I have seen that if I insert the shortcode alone in a page, I can see all the week , but if I insert it in a column of a page I only see the current day. Is there any restriction on the container width?
Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry I forgot the units are hard-coded. If you’re using the Full Forecast Layout you need to edit the following file:
/wp-content/plugins/astero/public/partials/astero-public-full-display.php line 35
change the following:
<?php _e('WIND', ASTERO_SLUG); ?><?php echo $custom['units'] == 'imperial' ? 'MPH' : 'm/s'; ?>
to
<?php _e('WIND', ASTERO_SLUG); ?><?php echo $custom['units'] == 'imperial' ? 'MPH' : 'km/h'; ?>
If you’re using the “Simple Layout” then it’s the following file:
/wp-content/plugins/astero/public/partials/astero-public-simple-display.php line 67.
change ‘m/s’ to ‘km/h’.
There is no height limit, but Full Forecast Layout will adjust its content to the width of the container. So if its container is too narrow, it will show less information.
Hope this helps.

Hi!
It works 
I would like to make bigger the letter, can you tell me how can I modify it?
When I will update the plugin, I will loose all this changes?
Thanks!
Hi,
Under your weather settings, change “Base Font Size” to a bigger value, e.g. 22px.
Your settings should still be there when you update the plugin.
Regards
Hi!
I mean the letter of “cloudiness”, “wind”...and the icons also, because they are too small… Is it possible?
Thanks!!
Hi,
The setting I showed you should work on those texts too. You can send me your website so I can take a look.
Regards
Hi,
I can’t get them biggers… The site is still not published, can you give me an email to send you the information?
Thanks!
Hi,
I have bought the plug in now and I am trying to install it but it takes to much time and it can’t finish in the end, is there any problem with the installable?
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure you are installing the zip file called astero.zip
main.zip is NOT the installable plugin file.
If you still have problems please send your Dashboard login to support@archtheme.com and I’ll take a look.
Regards
Hi,
I already installed it, thanks

Hi,
Thanks I got your email.
There is a Google error: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#referer-not-allowed-map-error
Please make sure that your site is allowed in the HTTP referrer for your Google Map API Key, or that there are no restrictions.
In the Google Console API Key dashboard, enter your site under “HTTP referrers (web sites)” in a similar format:
.marcomaquinaria.com/ www.marcomaquinaria.com/*
The settings can take a while (10 minutes or more) to activate.
If it still doesn’t work after a long while, I find that regenerating the API key is required.
Regards
Good Morning: I am writing to you because I have verified the api key of google and the one of dark sky and even so its plugin does not work correctly. Neither in Google Chrome nor in Firefox, both in the latest versions. Geolocate the user correctly (Without much accuracy) but then do not let find another location to see the weather in another site. Please try to help me with the problem. Laweb is https://marcomaquinaria.com
Hi,
It looks like Google Map’s script is not loaded, so it wasn’t working properly.
Did you have the settings “Skip Load Google Map” ticked under Settings > Astero Weather? If yes, please uncheck it and clear cache and reload the page to test.
If not, could you send me a Dashboard login to support@archtheme.com? I’ll take a look at your settings.

Hi, I’m using Astero weather plugin on my news website https://mydimosio.gr. Yesterday I switched to a new theme and suddenly the calls to dark sky increased to 1000 in a few hours while they were less than 100 the previous days. Of course, now the widget is not working.
Hi,
I don’t see any extra API calls for the weather data.
If you have Google Search console for your website do you know how many unique visits you got yesterday?
Weather data is cached for 1 hour, so repeat visits from the same visitor during the same time should not trigger extra queries.
Regards
I see Google Analytics every hour. Unfortunately we didn’t have so many visitors They are the same.
Today morning at 12.00 we already have 700 calls on Dark Sky. It’s very strange. In 2-3 hours it will stop again.
Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, I had to wait until the weather could be loaded before I could check some things.
It appears that cache is not enabled properly for the weather data, that could be the reason why the calls were made so quickly.
If you are using a caching plugin, can you exclude the following file and see if it helps?

I have introduced the google API and it still doesn’t detect my location. Can you please help me? I must work on Friday
Hi,
Do you have a site where I can take a look?
Please also make sure you have entered the Dark Sky API correctly under Dashboard > Settings > Astero Weather. The API key should only contain letters and numbers.
Regards
Hello yes, https://marcomaquinaria.com/
Hi,
Here’s a screenshot when I visit your site: https://i.imgur.com/Py2Lj60.png It works well for me.
What OS and browser are you using? Does your weather not load at all, or is your location just not precise enough?
Regards
Hello: Location not accurate and cannot search for another location
Hi,
Please apply for a Google Map API key (instructions here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key#key) and enter it under Settings > Astero Weather > Google Map API Key.
Without the Google Map API key, frontend search and HTML geolocation cannot work properly. User location will be based on IP address which is less accurate.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Hey really nice plugin but I’m having a couple of issues:
1. I put this in the side bar of my website. When a user searches for a location and then goes to another page the location doesn’t persist. I need my users to be able to show the weather location that they searched for on all pages.
2. I need some way to pass a location to the widget dynamically without setting up each location in the back end. Is there some way to do that?
I assumed I would be able to do both of these things when I purchased your plugin. Thanks for your help.
Hi,
1. Sorry this plugin can only automatically load the user’s location through IP or Geolocation, or a specified location set from the backend.
2. Please contact support@archtheme.com for further assistance.
Regards
Hi,
Sorry, this plugin currently only supports weather data from Dark Sky (https://darksky.net/).
You can search for your city or location on the Dark Sky site and see if the weather information is accurate for you.
Regards
Hi! I just purchased the theme but the weather for the set location is not displaying.
Hi,
Please make sure you have entered a valid Dark Sky API key under Dashboard > Settings > Astero Weather. The API key consists of only numbers and letters.
If you still have problems, please provide your website for me to take a look.
Regards
Hi,
I looked through your site and can’t seem to find a page that displays the weather plugin.
Can you link me to a page that shows the weather? It can just be a test blog page so I can look at the problem.
Regards
Hi, sorry, in the interim the site had a separate technical issue and I had to revert to a previous backup that did not have the page with the plugin. I have republished the page that has the plugin display: https://triptora.com/best-travel-tools/
Hi,
There are some errors on your site that does not make it fully secure. Some browsers (like Chrome) may require the site to be fully secure before Geolocation is allowed.
Screenshot of console errors: https://i.imgur.com/NAXVvTY.png
That’s why IP detection will work with both cases, but HTML5 Geolocation does not work with Chrome.
Search is not functioning at the moment because the Google Map API key has the following error: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#expired-key-map-error
I would suggest generating a new API key and using that for the site. Please wait for a few minutes for the API to be activated. Clear browser and any backend cache for your website too.
You may need to add key restrictions on for API key from the Google dashboard:
To add key restrictions:
Application restrictions > HTTP referrers (web sites)
Add the following domains:*.triptora.com/* triptora.com/*
Hope this helps.
Regards
Hi, thanks for taking a look. I tried regenerating the API key several times and that was not working. I was able to resolve everything when I finally realized that generating and supplying the API key credential into the plugin was not sufficient, but that the additional steps of enabling both the Maps Javascript API and the Geocoding API in Google Console were necessary. After I did that, everything seems to be working correctly. Best.
I’m glad it worked out for you!
Have a nice day~
Thank you, you too!
Hello my website is EasyRent.ge this is car rental wordpres based website, with official installed theme and plugin.
Theme: https://www.wpcarrental.com/ Plugin: https://codecanyon.net/item/car-rental-system-native-wordpress-plugin/11758680
My buisiness is located in Georgia, Tbilisi
I want to purchase your plugin so my presale question is:
1) I need to add to my wbsite weather information about my country Georgia and it`s cities Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and other will your plugin give me such possibility?
2) Will your plugin work with this my theme based on visual composer?
Hi,
1. You can try searching for your cities from https://darksky.net This plugin uses weather data from this weather provider.
Alternatively, you can test the demo here: http://demo.archtheme.com/astero/ You can click on the search icon and search for your cities.
You can create multiple weather displays with this plugin, and add them on your page through shortcodes or widgets. Multiple weather displays can be added to the same page.
2. This plugin does not have a specific visual composer element, but it should work well with with it. You can add the weather display through shortcodes or widgets.
Regards
I have seen and fount my cities, how your plugibn works, by shortcodes? I mean can I create page Weather for example and add 3,4,5 citys together?
Hi,
You can create unlimited weather displays, like Posts or Pages. Each weather display will have its own shortcode, and settings (locations, appearance settings etc).
You can then add multiple cities together on your Weather page by inserting the weather shortcode.
Note the free usage limit for Dark Sky though (1000 free calls per day).
Regards
Hi I just installed and activated the plugin, but I don’t see a place to enter the Open Weather Map API key, just Forecast.io. Where do I put in the Open Weather API key? Thanks!
Hi,
This plugin no longer supports Open Weather Map. The support was removed a few versions ago.
Please use Dark Sky (formerly Forecast.io) instead. Thanks!
Hi, I purchased your plugin a few days a go and it worked great. However, now the dots just keep jumping and no weather is being displayed. Please help.
Hi,
Can you provide a link to your site? I’ll take a look.
You can also reach me at support@archtheme.com
