IT WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION AND SHOULD BE UNINSTALLED.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ZigWeather gives you a multi-widget to show weather on your site.<\/p>\n\n<p>Anyone using earlier (pre 2.0) versions of this plugin should try this new version, which uses a different online weather service for data capture, and a different method of setting locations. This is the plugin that wouldn't die!<\/p>\n\n<p>Please note that caching is now fixed automatically to comply with the terms of use of the World Weather Online API, and the credit link should not be removed.<\/p>\n\n<p>For further information and support, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zigpress.com\/plugins\/zigweather\/\">the ZigWeather home page<\/a>.  Support will ONLY be provided in response to comments posted on that page.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Go to Admin &gt; Plugins &gt; Add New and enter ZigWeather in the search box.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the prompts to install and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Go to the settings page and follow the link to get a World Weather Online API key (it's free).<\/li>\n<li>Enter this key on the settings page and save.<\/li>\n<li>Go to the widgets control page and place the widget, entering a location in the widget control panel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>What can I enter in the location box in the widget control panel?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>You can try a few different formats in order to get the widget to show weather for your desired location:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>city<\/li>\n<li>city, country<\/li>\n<li>city, state, country<\/li>\n<li>city, state (USA only)<\/li>\n<li>postalcode (UK, USA, Canada only)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>If the widget displays \"Data cannot be shown\" or shows the wrong location, try a different format or a different nearby location. For example, in Malta, the API doesn't know where the town \"Bugibba\" is, but it is happy to take \"Naxxar\" which is a slightly larger town about 3km away.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>How often is the information refreshed?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>The plugin gets fresh information each half hour, and whenever you change a location. However, the World Weather Online service only updates its API data every 3 to 4 hours. But hey, it's free.<\/p>\n\n<p>More information can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldweatheronline.com\/weather-api.aspx\">World Weather Online<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>I don't like the way it looks. What can I do?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Go to the settings page and set the \"Load stylesheet\" dropdown to \"None\" then save. You will now need to add some styles in your theme stylesheet.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>2.3.5<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 4.4<\/li>\n<li>Increased minimum WordPress version to 4.0 in accordance with ZigPress policy of gradually dropping support for deprecated platforms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.3.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 4.3 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.3.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 4.2.2<\/li>\n<li>Updated classes to use PHP5 constructors to satisfy WordPress Changeset 32990<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.3.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 4.2<\/li>\n<li>Increased minimum PHP version to 5.3 in accordance with ZigPress policy of gradually dropping support for deprecated platforms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.3.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 4.1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.2.9<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Updated instructions to get World Weather Online key (new URL)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.2.8<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Various fixes to prevent warnings on first activation<\/li>\n<li>Various fixes to prevent warnings in debug mode<\/li>\n<li>Added Settings link in plugin summary on admin plugins page<\/li>\n<li>Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 4.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.2.7<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Removed some warnings that were appearing while WordPress was running in debug mode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.2.6<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 3.9<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.2.5<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 3.8<\/li>\n<li>Minor text changes on admin page<\/li>\n<li>Increased minimum WordPress version to 3.6 in accordance with ZigPress policy of encouraging WordPress updates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.2.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Updated API call to meet new World Weather Online requirements<\/li>\n<li>Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 3.5.2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.2.3<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed further fatal error on activation -
