“401 Invalid API Key” error

OpenWeather is sun-setting the OneCall 2.5 API. Everyone who has a OneCall 2.5 subscription can still use it for a short time. Anyone who tries to subscribe to OneCall now must choose the 3.0 version – which is not free anymore.

WordPress deactivated OWM Weather because I had issues with the email listed at the plugin. In order to reinstate the plugin, I have to go again through the plugin verification process. WordPress sent me a long list of item I must fix before the plugin can be reinstated. Many of them passed the test when I started the plugin but seem to fail now. In addition, they want me to change library code like leaflet (map) that is included in the code.

With a heavy heart, I will retire OWM Weather, since I don’t have the resources for these changes. If anyone is interested in continuing the plugin, go ahead.

Seems, that OWM Wetter stopped working today. Openweather has deactivated its API 2.5 last night. I signed in to Openweather API 3.0, but OWM Weather is still not working. The API-Code is still the same for 2.5 and 3.0.

I will watch the case until sunday. If it doesnt work with API 3.0, I must uninstall OWM, also with a heavy heart. Such a nice plugin will end.
