## Description

Add a free, self-updating Economicium widget to any post, page or widget area. Two
widget types:

 * **Latest stories** – a compact, auto-updating list of the newest economic-news
   summaries.
 * **Market mood** – the bullish / neutral / bearish split of recent news.

No account, no API key. Filter to a single category (crypto, energy, markets and
more), switch between a light and dark card, and choose how many stories to show.

**Shortcode**

    ```
    [economicium]
    ```

Attributes:

 * `type` – `latest` (default) or `mood`
 * `category` – a category slug such as `crypto`, `energy`, `markets` (default: 
   all)
 * `theme` – `light` (default) or `dark`
 * `limit` – 1 to 8 stories (default 5); latest only
 * `title` – a custom heading
 * `mode` – `script` (default, includes a link back to Economicium) or `iframe` (
   most portable)

Examples:

    ```
    [economicium type="mood" category="crypto" theme="dark"]
    [economicium type="latest" limit="6"]
    ```

### External services

This plugin renders the widget by loading a small script (`embed.js`) or an `<iframe
>` from Economicium (https://economicium.com). When a visitor views a page containing
the widget, their browser requests the widget markup and the latest headlines / 
market-mood data from economicium.com. No personal data is sent by the plugin; standard
web-server request metadata (such as IP address, handled by economicium.com) applies
as with any embedded content.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it from the WordPress
    plugin directory.
 2. Activate it through the “Plugins” screen.
 3. Add `[economicium]` to any post, page, or a Shortcode block. Adjust the attributes
    as needed.

## FAQ

### Does it cost anything?

No. The widget is free to use. A small “Powered by Economicium” credit stays visible.

### Will it slow down my site?

The script loads asynchronously and the data is cached, so it does not block your
page from rendering.

### Can I show only one category?

Yes. Use the `category` attribute, for example `[economicium category="energy"]`.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.1

 * Load the widget script via wp_enqueue_script() (async, in the footer) instead
   of a hardcoded script tag, per the WordPress.org plugin guidelines. Per-widget
   options now sit on the mount div, so one enqueued script can power multiple widgets
   on a page.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release: `[economicium]` shortcode with latest / market-mood widgets,
   category, theme, limit and iframe options.
