graphics not showing

[andrewParticipant]

my website has the weather plug in and today when looking the pics for each day sun cloud etc etc.. have disappeared it now shows a small square with a red cross inside the laregr square with the words “it is for”

help !!!!

[karenratteParticipant]

I cannot reach them either. Apparently they are no longer on the wunderground website, or at least in the same place.

[andrewbParticipant]

Yes I agree.  The graphics have all gone.

Hopefully there’s an easy fix!

Not sure if I sure get to work removing this plugin.  I don’t want to … it’s very nice.

Look forward to getting some feedback.

Thanks.

[andrewbParticipant]

The graphics on the Wunderground server have been moved.

The plugin needs an update.

If you change to your own graphic set it still works.

[andrewParticipant]

thanks andrewb

i have 1.2.5 so is there a later version and how do i update it from within wordpress and if i do will it cause any problems within my website – from the code on the pages for my weather it is simply [weather]

regards

Hi

I’ve found a way to get it working again by hosting the graphics on my own server.

It requires one simple line of code change to the plugin.

Hopefully the author will issue an update soon.

It’s probably not right for me to publish the change detail on here.

Cheers

AndrewB

[andrewParticipant]

perhaps i need to delete the plugin and simply reload it

would that work ?

[andrewbParticipant]

It depends if the author of the plugin has updated the code recently to revise image locations.

If they have then downloading the latest version would fix the problem.  However I can see no update in the  log referring to this issue.

As this is the support forum hopefully somebody from Katz will reply soon….

I have the same issue in sites where I use the plugin. Would like it if andrewb would provide link to description of how to change the code to point to some other location.

[karenratteParticipant]

I am hoping that Monday is a workday and the path to the graphics can be updated. Otherwise there are instructions to host your own graphics in the documentation.

[andrewbParticipant]

I found that the instructions given in the documentation didn’t work for me.

I took copies of the weather graphics direct from the Wunderland website.  Uploaded them to a directory on my host.

I then updated one line in the plugin code to point at my domain rather than  ..

If there’s no response from Katz soon I’m happy to provide more detailed help if needed.

It’d be better if Katz can fix it though.

[rreddickParticipant]

Hey, thanks. I agree that it would be better if Katz fixed. Downloading all the images sounds like a lot of work.

[andrewbParticipant]

There’s only a few images.

Whole thing took me 10 minutes once I’d found where to amend the code.

Let’s hope it’s officially fixed soon.

Mine’s now working fine so self-hosting the images works fine.

[VisualfluxParticipant]

I have a few sites using the plug in, & all the sites are not showing the graphics, is one of his servers down?

[StephInSeattleParticipant]

andrewb. If we don’t hear soon from the Katz support by February 6, I’d be really grateful if you could post your fix. I am kicking myself I didn’t upload the images when I installed the plugin I’m getting horrible code on Firefox whereas on Safari its just a placeholder error image showing up.
