### 󠀁[Doesn’t Work and Isn’t Easy To Set Up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-and-isnt-easy-to-set-up/)󠁿

Great idea for a plugin and nice sales display. I could not get the plugin to work,
even with a working API. Just got a connection error. There are literally no instructions
and its widget-based.

https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/giweather/trunk/extras/mod_giweather/
mod_giweather.php#L98 The function “gw_load_icons_fonts_path()” is misleading, it
is hidden inside a dynamically loaded ZIP, so that you can’t find it, and it actually
doesn’t load any paths, it just displays the copyright, which is only hidden via
JavaScript otherwise… https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/giweather/trunk/
extras/lib_giweather/language The ZIP is hidden inside a language folder… which 
is just more effort to disguise the copyright text. This is at least bad practice…
if not worse.

### 󠀁[many settings which worked for me in the end](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/many-settings-which-worked-for-me-in-the-end/)󠁿

The plus of this weather widget is that it has many options for different icons 
of the intraday weather. So I found the right one for my site. Although it works
great for me it has a few minor flaws: There is a language option but it get’s a
bit mixed depending on the browser settings of the client I guess. I would prefer
more options to hide just a single bit of weather info like “Pressure” but that’s
a nice to have. What I’m missing most is that there should be a different icon for“
light rain” and “moderate rain”. At the moment they look the same as far as I can
tell.
