    WOW! Great plugin. One feature that I felt a lot of plugins miss is the forecast ( night, next day etc. ). Are you using pipes? This is great!

    I await the release of this plugin! I would pay for it, its that good.

    I love this plug in. Please release it. As I want to put on my travel.amazinglink.com website.

    I have tried others but I could not get something like you have.

    regards

    Great plugin! Just what I was looking for! I’m running it on a test site I’m building for a client, but I’m very happy with it! One question tho…would it be possible to make adjustments to the display of the plugin (such as color, font, font size)? That would be the only things I would want to change! THANKS FOR BUILDING IT!

    Sure – go right ahead.

    Thanks Binny! I’m going to give it 5 stars on Wordpress.org! Keep up the good work!

    is there a way to insert the zip code in the post? i’m doing a camping site and i’d love to have the weather for each campsite in the post?

    i’m talking about the insert and not the widget.

    thanks, and great plugin by the way.

    I adore this plugin. I’d like to remove the “status information” at the top – “Conditions for X at ” – and shorten up the way the forecast displays (my sidebar is quite narrow, so there’s a three-letter overlap from each line that looks a little messy). What changes would I need to make in the code to make that happen? I’d love to pack the Yahoo/Weather Channel references a little tighter as well, but I know that may come from the RSS feed that way. Let me know, and thanks again for this excellent plugin.

    @Heather Newman
    Edit weather-man.php around line 32. Its a bit hard – as I directly print out the data given by the XML Feed. You’ll have to do some string replace on that data to do what you need.

    [...] Weather Man uses Yahoo Weather API to display weather of any place as a Sidebar Widget or you can merge it with posts using a short code. Travel and Tourism Blog owners, take note. See a demo. [...]

    Does this only work with US Zip Code? I would really love to have an international version of this plugin.

    yes me too, j would like to know if it’s possible to have the weather in france (for exemple)?
    J think it’s not possible..
