Displays current weather for any location, via a Gutenberg block, fetched from the free Open-Meteo API and cached server-side.

Description

Simple Weather Block adds a "Weather" block you can drop into any post or page. Editors set a latitude, longitude, and label in the block sidebar; the front end renders a small card with current temperature, wind speed, and conditions.

  • No API key required (uses the free Open-Meteo API).
  • Response is cached in a transient for 30 minutes, filterable via swb_cache_ttl.
  • Fails gracefully: if the API is down or returns something unexpected, the block shows a quiet fallback message instead of a fatal error or blank page.

Installation

  1. Upload the simple-weather-block folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin through the "Plugins" screen.
  3. Add the "Weather" block to any post or page and set a latitude/longitude in the block settings panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this require an API key?

No. It uses Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com), which is free and keyless for non-commercial use.

How long is data cached?

30 minutes by default. Use the swb_cache_ttl filter to change it.
