<p>Using the <code>[currency]</code> shortcode you can convert one currency to another. The conversion is based on the rates published by the ECB. You can change from and to any of the supported currencies.</p>
<p>The <code>[currency_legal]</code> shortcode outputs a disclaimer text and a link to the ECB eurofxref page.</p>
<h4>Important!</h4>
<p>ECB advices against using their rates for transaction purposes. From their site: “The reference rates are published for information purposes only. Using the rates for transaction purposes is strongly discouraged.”</p>
<p>The reference rates are usually updated by ECB at around 16:00 CET every working day, except on <a href="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/services/contacts/working-hours/html/index.en.html" rel="nofollow ugc">TARGET closing days</a>.</p>
<p>Go to the <a href="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/policy_and_exchange_rates/euro_reference_exchange_rates/html/index.en.html" rel="nofollow ugc">ECB site</a> for more information and disclaimers.</p>
<p>Also note that conversion from non-Euro to non-Euro is done through the Euro, so GBP to USD is calculated as GBP → EUR → USD (converted 2 times).</p>
<p>This plugin is based on a plugin by <a href="http://www.xclamationdesign.co.uk/free-currency-converter-shortcode-plugin-for-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">Xclamation</a>.</p>

<h3>Shortcode usage & examples</h3>
<h4>currency_legal shortcode</h4>
<p>This shortcode returns the string ‘* For informational purposes only. Exchange rates may vary. Based on <a href="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/policy_and_exchange_rates/euro_reference_exchange_rates/" rel="nofollow ugc">ECB reference rates</a>.’</p>
<p>The prepended ‘* ‘ (the same string as the [currency] append string) can be changed using the ‘prepend’ attribute.</p>
<p>For example: <code>[currency_legal prepend='Please note: ']</code></p>
<p>If you want to change the default prepent string for your whole site you can use the default <code>shortcode_atts_currency_legal</code> filter.<br />
See the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/shortcode_atts_shortcode/" rel="nofollow ugc">shortcode_atts_{$shortcode} reference</a> for more information about this.</p>
<h4>currency shortcode</h4>
<p>Attributes:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>from</code>: currency code (default: EUR)</li>
<li><code>to</code>: currency code (default: USD)</li>
<li><code>amount</code>: number of “from” currency (default: 1)</li>
<li><code>iso</code>: boolean (default false); use ISO currency formatting.”€ 1″ would become “1 EUR” in ISO notation.</li>
<li><code>show_from</code>: boolean (default true); show from amount in output</li>
<li><code>between</code>: string (default ‘&nbsp;/&nbsp;’ which is displayed as ‘ / ‘ in the browser); string between from and to amounts</li>
<li><code>append</code>: string (default ‘&nbsp;<em>‘ which is displayed as ‘ </em>‘ in the browser); string put after conversion. The * references the disclaimer text, see [currency_legal] shortcode.</li>
<li><code>round: boolean</code> (default true); Round numbers to whole units.</li>
<li><code>round_append</code>: string (default ‘=’); replaces decimals</li>
<li><code>no_from_show_rate</code>: boolean (default true); when from amount is hidden in the output the “to” text gets a tooltip that displays the exchange rate. The <span> element with this tooltip is styled with the <code>to_style</code> css string below. Set the <code>no_from_show_rate</code> option to false to disable the <span> and tooltip.</li>
<li><code>to_style</code>: css string (default ‘cursor:help;border-bottom:1px dotted gray;’); styling of “to” text <span> wrapper.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you want to change the defaults for your whole site you can use the default <code>shortcode_atts_currency</code> filter. See the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/shortcode_atts_shortcode/" rel="nofollow ugc">shortcode_atts_{$shortcode} reference</a> for more information about this.</p>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>[currency amount="875" from="EUR" to="GBP"]</code><br />
becomes “€ 875,= / £ 697.= *”</li>
<li><code>[currency amount="875" from="GBP" to="USD" iso=true between=" converts to " append="" round_append=""]</code><br />
becomes “875 GBP converts to 1,418 USD”</li>
<li><code>[currency amount="875" from="GBP" to="USD" show_from=false round=false]</code><br />
becomes “$ 1,130.15 *”</li>
</ul>
