Description

Weather Map allows you to display real-time weather information for multiple coordinates using OpenWeatherMap API. Each location’s weather is fetched and displayed on an interactive map (Leaflet.js based). The plugin includes a 15-minute caching mechanism to reduce API usage.

Features:
– Enter up to 6 coordinates to keep the map readable.
– Built-in API key validator before saving.
– 15-minute transient cache for weather data.
– Fully shortcode-based integration: [weather_map].
– Admin-friendly settings interface.

External Services

This plugin connects to the OpenWeatherMap API to retrieve real-time weather information for the locations configured in the plugin settings.

Data Sent:
– Latitude and longitude values entered by the site admin
– The API key provided by the site admin in the plugin settings

Data is sent only when:
– The front-end map loads to fetch and display weather data for a specific location

Service Provider:
– OpenWeatherMap
– Terms of Service
– Privacy Policy

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin to the /wp-content/plugins/weather-map/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin via the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to “Weather Map” in the admin menu.
  4. Enter your OpenWeatherMap API key and up to 6 coordinate pairs.
  5. Use the [weathermap] shortcode on any page or post.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an API key?

You can register for a free or paid API key at https://openweathermap.org/api. Choose a plan based on your expected usage.

How is API usage calculated?

Each coordinate results in one API call. So if you have 4 coordinates and load the page, that’s 4 API requests. Caching prevents duplicate calls within a 15-minute window.

How many coordinates can I enter?

To keep the map clean, a maximum of 6 coordinates is recommended.

How do I display the map on a page?

Simply use the shortcode [weather_map] in your content editor or page builder.
