    This afternoon, our weather widget started displaying the following:

    Failure notice from provider:
    Connection Error:http_request_failed

    Do you know what this means and if there’s anything I can do to fix it?

    thanks!

    I just checked our client and now the description and icon are for freezing rain, although the temperature is only 63F. The location is Dover, VT, USA.

    It is raining but not freezing rain. Not yet, anyway. ??

    Thank you very much, I think I found the problem some weather conditions are still mapped as it is an accuweather code. I will fix it, asap and will remove the old stuff.

    hi @tuxlog, I still have the issue with saving lat and lon parameters in my multisite setup. I deactivated all plugins, switched to default theme, tried in all browsers. Still same issue. Then I digged into the code a bit and commented out line 638 in wp-forecast-admin.php and after this I could store the values.

    foreach ( $wpf_admin_fields as $k ) {
    //if ( ! $ismulti || isset( $allowed[ 'ue_' . $k ] ) ) {
    $av[ $k ] = sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( $_POST[ $k ] ) );
    $upflag = true;
    //}
    }

    Hi, I fixed hopefully both, the wrong descriptions (I use the official descriptions from Open-Meteo and OpenWEatherMap now) and I rmeoved the ! ismulti to allow settings on multisite). Nevertheless, please test it again, since there are many variants of setup a multisite and I am not sure if I tested them all. New Release comes within 1-2 hours.

    Hi..I was wondering if you can help me…
    wp-forecast has been working perfectly until recently and I read here that this is because the accuweather API has been changed to a paid service. I have updated wp-forecast to the latest version which allows for 2 alternative weather service providers.

    I am trying to get Open-Meteo to work. Cannot get or enter an API key for this provider. I have entered the lat/Long coordinates for Zurich and ran a test “Check connection to Weatherprovider” and result was the error …

    “Checking for Weatherprovider Open-Meteo
    Checking default transport
    Test ends in error.
    Error-Message was http_request_failed cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired”

    Do you have any tips how I can connect with Open-Meteo without an API key?

    Thanks a lot

    Hello darrjess,

    you do not need an API key for Openmeteo, it’s totally open and free.

    Can you send the results of the connection tests.

    Most users just click on the search icon search for the location and save it and it works. Can you give the coordinates you entered please, maybe you used another format as returned by the search dialog.

    Thanks.

    Thanks very much for the reply tuxlog …

    Excuse my ignorance but how can I send you the results of the connection test?

    I entered the following coordinates for Zurich Airport …
    Lat: 47.4526
    Long: 8.5605

    Would like to send you a screenshot but not so easy here…asks for an image URL but it’s stored on my computer?

    D:\Documents\Websites\AOC ZRH\Images\OpenMeteo_Test1_111023.jpg

    o

    How can I add a screenshot (image) here that is stored on my laptop and not on a server???

    Xou can share screenshots as a link using a service like https://paste.pics .

    Anyway you can copy and paste the output of the connectiontest, it is just a text field.

    Here’s the text from the connection check….

    Checking default transport
    Test ends in error.
    Error-Message was http_request_failed cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

    I also clicked on the magnifying glass to search location ….Zurich

    No results returned.

    Thanks for the tip to insert a screenshot. Here is my wp-forecast main page..

    Spoke too soon… Cannot insert image created by Paste.Pics… Pasted the URL provided by Paste.Pics and error message “the image is missing attributes” and nothing happens.
