Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Ventus – Weather Map Widget & Shortcode
This can happen sometimes with the shortcode if you wrap the longitude or latitude attributes in the wrong kind of quote marks. Mark sure you are using " " rather than ” ”, e.g. Correct: lat="44.096" Incorrect: lat=”44.096”
The easiest (and recommended) way to do this is to go straight to windy.com. Once there, take note of the URL. It will contain the latitude and longitude in its parameters, and if you zoom in, it will also contain the zoom level. For example, the sample parameters I use as defaults are: latitude 53.199, longitude -7.603, and a zoom level of 5. These would show in the URL in the following format: windy.com/?53.199,-7.603,5.
If you'd prefer to do this, that's great - no problem! However, this plugin was created to make the iframe that windy.com kindly provide even more useful. To that end, it offers the following advantages: While an iframe can be inserted directly into a page or post, you can't insert an iframe directly into the WordPress widgets area (which is how most themes allow you to set the content for site sidebars and footers etc). This plugin allows you to do precisely that. And even in the case of an iframe inserted into a page or post, the generated code can often confuse people who don't have any technical/programming experience. The shortcode provided by this plugin simplifies this considerably, making it readable and easy to customise by anyone. You can change the default overlay from wind to either clouds, CO concentration, sea temperature, snow cover, standard temperature, radar/lightning, rain, or waves. Width and height can be set to responsive (percentage-based) as well as fixed (pixel-based) values.
