Title: GetWeather Plugin – Please Help! Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # GetWeather Plugin – Please Help! * [Ennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ennis/) * (@ennis) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/) * I live in st. john’s newfoundland. Im new to wordpress & its plugins. I got the getweather plugin, installed it on my site, but st. john’s nl isn’t listed at [http://www.weather.com](http://www.weather.com). (this site takes the city code to retrieve the weather information). * is there any way to modify this code so that i can get the weather from [http://www.weather.ca](http://www.weather.ca) instead?

You can see what it can do on my blog. and welcome to wp too 🙂 * Thread Starter [Ennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ennis/) * (@ennis) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186559) * thanks but i found with weather icon 2, which i also used recently, that the weather data is not always available you have that problem? * Thread Starter [Ennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ennis/) * (@ennis) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186566) * and for some reason my .pngs under the wicons folder won’t show up…. 😛 * [iand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iand/) * (@iand) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186567) * Sometimes the weather data (i presume the server) goes down, normally it is ok though. As for the icons, I would check that you have it set to show icons, that path is correct and that the permissions are ok too. * [lbessant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lbessant/) * (@lbessant) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186568) * And that the images were uploaded in binary format… * Thread Starter [Ennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ennis/) * (@ennis) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186570) * …ummmm…..yes…….actually it was auto * edit: I uploaded them again in binary, but all i get now is a white space * [http://www.thisisennis.com/about.php](http://www.thisisennis.com/about.php) * [iand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iand/) * (@iand) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186575) * Under current weather, I can see ` St. John's, NL Weather data not available Which is what I get when the cache file is empty/ not writing. Check the cache folder inside weathericon is chmoded to 777. * Thread Starter [Ennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ennis/) * (@ennis) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186577) * thats done. see: [Cache Text File](http://www.thisisennis.com/wp-content/plugins/WeatherIcon/cache/metar_cache_CYYT.txt) * but the other images show up, doesn’t make any sense that the .pngs don’t * [iand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iand/) * (@iand) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186578) * _thats done._ So the metar.txt is in the cache folder (and has some content)? As for the png’s not working, im not sure, as I use the gif’s. The pngs work on my local install though. * Thread Starter [Ennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ennis/) * (@ennis) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186579) * yup i just edited it sorry. * [iand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iand/) * (@iand) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186581) * Odd. It doesn’t seem to be permissions are I can view the png’s in the folder. All I can suggest is you check the paths to the images and cache folders are correct, or using the gif’s for now. It is probably worth dropping a note to the author too. I’m running out of ideas. * Thread Starter [Ennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ennis/) * (@ennis) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186595) * thanks for your help anyway. appreciate it * [iand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iand/) * (@iand) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186599) * Shame you can’t get the png’s to show. At least _some_ weather data is showing now though. * Thread Starter [Ennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ennis/) * (@ennis) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186605) * ya wish the pngs would work.. * are there any alternate gifs or images on any sites that i can use? * Thread Starter [Ennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ennis/) * (@ennis) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/#post-186606) * know what else is weird, the .pngs show up in Internet Explorer but not firefox Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘GetWeather Plugin – Please Help!’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 17 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [iand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iand/) * Last activity: [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getweather-plugin-please-help/page/2/#post-186761) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
