at my website http://www.kgv-amstrom-zingst.de/
I’m getting “No weather data available even if I’m trying a different location. Is there something wrong with the widget or the server?

kind regards

Andreas

OpenWeatherMap just required that an API Key be used to access their weather data. I am releasing 1.5.3 to fix this and allow a spot for that key to be added. Look for the update soon.

The update has been posted. After you add the API Key it would be a good idea to hit the ‘Clear Cache’ button at the bottom of the settings page. This will reset the stored weather data.

@leahe Glad to hear!

For others who may be having problems with it. I wrote a quick help document (with screenshots) -> https://halgatewood.com/docs/plugins/awesome-weather-widget/register-for-an-openweathermap-api-key-appid

Thanks a lot. It’s working now.
Does anybody know why you need a api key now?
What is the background idea behind this?
