Show live weather on any page or template with a native Gutenberg block—no iframe embeds and no API keys in the browser.
4WP Weather fetches current conditions through WordPress (REST + server cache), stores your OpenWeatherMap key safely in the admin, and renders a clean widget you can style with block colors, typography, and spacing.

The API key is stored as a WordPress option and is not exposed to front-end HTML or JavaScript. The block calls <code>forwp-weather/v1/weather</code>; PHP performs the remote request. See External services below.

<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the OpenWeatherMap Current Weather API to fetch conditions shown in the weather block, admin live preview, and optional JSON-LD.
When a visitor loads a page with the block (or when an administrator uses the live preview), WordPress sends a server-side HTTPS request to <code>https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather</code>. The request includes:
<ul>
<li>Your stored API key (<code>appid</code> query parameter), configured in the admin.</li>
<li>Geographic coordinates (<code>lat</code>, <code>lon</code>) from block settings, browser geolocation when the visitor allows it, or a default location you configure.</li>
<li>Or a city name (<code>q</code>) when location search is used.</li>
</ul>
This plugin does not send visitor IP addresses in the API request. OpenWeatherMap may log requests according to their own policies. Responses are cached on your server (WordPress transients) to reduce repeat API calls.
