About this plugin

Simbe Weather Ticker shows the current weather for the towns you pick, either as a scrolling
ticker or as a table.

  • Scrolling ticker with weather icon, town name and temperature
  • Weather table with sortable columns
  • Town search built in, no API key needed
  • Celsius or Fahrenheit
  • Works with shortcodes and blocks
  • Caches responses so your pages stay fast

Data comes from Open-Meteo, which needs no account or API key. Open-Meteo asks every plugin
and site to credit them, so the ticker and the table link back:

Usage

Shortcodes:

  • [simbe_weather_ticker] – scrolling ticker with all configured towns
  • [simbe_weather_ticker towns="london,paris"] – only the towns you name
  • [simbe_weather_ticker theme="light" duration="25" condition="yes"] – lighter and faster
  • [simbe_weather_table] – table with all configured towns
  • [simbe_weather_table columns="icon,condition,wind" orderby="temp" order="desc"] – chosen columns, warmest first

Blocks:

  • Weather Ticker
  • Weather Table

Configuration

Go to Settings > Simbe Weather Ticker, search for a town and press Add. Use the arrow buttons
to change the order, Remove to drop a town, or Add town manually to enter coordinates
yourself. Everything else on that screen is a default for the shortcodes and blocks.

The panel at the bottom of the settings screen records recent save attempts, which is
useful if you need to report a problem.
