Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Global Weather Pro: Weather Widget for WordPress

There are three ways, and all of them produce the same widget. Block editor or Full Site Editing theme: open any post, page, or site template, click the block inserter, and search for "Weather Widget." Choose the header or sidebar layout in the block settings sidebar. Classic theme: navigate to "Appearance" > "Widgets" in your WordPress admin panel and add either the "Global Weather Pro Header" or "Global Weather Pro Sidebar" widget to your desired location, such as your header, footer, or sidebar. Shortcode: embed the widgets directly into your posts and pages using [gwpro_header_weather] for the header widget or [gwpro_sidebar_weather] for the sidebar widget. Note that the original shortcode, [gwpro_global_weather_pro], now functions as an alias for the sidebar widget shortcode for backward compatibility, so any existing instances of the old shortcode continue to work without issue.

Yes. Global Weather Pro registers a native "Weather Widget" block that works in the block editor, inside Full Site Editing templates and template parts, and anywhere else blocks are allowed. The block is server-rendered and reuses the same output pipeline as the classic widgets and the shortcodes, so there is one source of truth for the markup, the scripts, and the weather data. This matters on a block theme, because block themes have no "Appearance" > "Widgets" screen at all. On those themes, use the block (or a shortcode block) rather than the classic Widgets screen.

Yes, using the block. Each Weather Widget block can set its own location, which overrides the location saved in the plugin settings for that block only. A block with no location set simply inherits your global setting. The same applies to the dark and light color themes, so a block placed in a dark page template can differ from the site-wide default. The classic widgets and the shortcodes always use the location saved under Settings > Global Weather Pro.

No. Global Weather Pro routes all API communication through our own dedicated service, so you never have to sign up for, manage, renew, or pay for a weather API key of your own. Install the plugin, save a location, and the forecasts and severe weather alerts start working immediately.

No, and the distinction matters. Global Weather Pro uses artificial intelligence for its visual layer only. Every one of the 60+ weather conditions reported by WeatherAPI (condition codes 1000-1282) has its own AI-generated animated image, displayed in the header of the weather widget so the animation always matches the reported condition, including day and night variants for clear skies. The forecasts, air quality readings, and severe weather alerts themselves are not AI-generated or AI-predicted. They come directly from WeatherAPI, a professional meteorological data provider. Your visitors see AI-created artwork paired with real, trusted weather data.

No. All AI-generated animation files are bundled with the plugin and served from your own site, so displaying them requires no third-party image service, no AI API key, and no per-request AI costs. Nothing is generated on the fly at page load. The artificial intelligence work was done in advance, so the animations add no latency.

Severe weather alerts are sourced from WeatherAPI and displayed prominently inside the widget so visitors see them immediately. Alerts appear alongside current conditions in the header widget, the sidebar widget, and the block, and no configuration is required. Alerts for the widget's location surface automatically whenever the provider issues them.

Global Weather Pro is designed to work with most WordPress themes, classic and block-based alike. If you experience any issues, please create a topic on our official WordPress support forum so our team and the community can assist you: Official Plugin Support Page
