Weather Atlas Widget

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 83% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I’ve been using this for about 3 weeks now for a cycling club website. Great configuration options, but it just isn’t accurate. It consistently shows 2-4 degrees warmer than local weather. This topic was modified 4 years, 6 months ago by tnruss.

   It installs and uninstalls without error. Outside of that, I cannot offer anything. I don’t use widgets, but evidently – despite claims otherwise – you must use their widgets. City cannot be selected, so I hope it defaults to a location you like. Does not have any options, controls or interface. You can install it. You can uninstall it. Even the support page is filled with “How do I…?” “Nevermind I found another plugin.”

   This is a good, not great plugin. My client needed a weather widget and it gets the job done, but they are not thrilled.

   I like what I saw from the default location (New York). Unfortunately, I couldn’t get any other cities to populate rending this useless. I deactivated my website cache, but that’s about as much troubleshooting as I’m willing to invest. Will see if there’s another plugin that works.
