WP SimpleWeather Plugin

WP SimpleWeather allows you to quickly and easily display the current weather at any location you enter using the Yahoo! Weather API. WP SimpleWeather is exactly what you’d expect from the name. A SIMPLE way to display weather via a wordpress plugin. It is easily installed, widgetized, and comes with an expansive yet easy to use settings page.

The WP SimpleWeather Plugin was adapted from the simpleWeather jQuery plugin by James Fleeting.

1. Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
2. Go to the ‘Plugins’ page in the menu and activate the plugin.
3. Use the WP SimpleWeather Settings page located under the ‘Settings’ menu to change your plugin options. You must enter a location.
4. Activate the WP SimpleWeather Widget under the ‘Appearance –> Widgets’ menu, or by adding the [wp-simpleweather] shortcode where you wish to display the weather widget.
