Hello!
This plugin is not supported in this forum. The official website is here and it features a community support section.
And, on top of that, I can assure you this plugin is maintained with regular updates :innocent:

If you’re an absolute beginner - which I am far from certain :wink: - WordPress is a bit tricky: you must install it on a webserver… But if you know how to do this, it’s like a breeze.

Wordpress is known as the 5 minute setup and a lifetime learning :joy: No just take some time to read the basics and once you have the concepts it is easy to maintain and to bend it all ways you want it. Just see to it you keep it up to date as it is one of the most used scripts and thus very often looked for by hackers. But you keep it up to date and it’s safe. You can use it to make a static site with fixed pages, or a real blog or a mix of the 2 … all is possible and you have so many plugins … not sure there is something you can’t do with it …
Just find yourself a nice host to install the script and you’re up and going in no time. And over time you can add things, tweak it, change the layout … all without loosing what you did already. That’s the best part of Wordpress. You never loose what you did before, you can change layouts and still keep all the posts, pages …
Have fun with Pierre’s script. It is up to date and well made. And if you have questions or suggestions, he will help you on his site.

If there was one piece of software to name that I would ‘never’ use on a public facing website, it’s Word Press. It takes a LOT of care+feeding to keep up with the MANY security issues that continually come up. It’s nice software for the authors, but sheer pain for admins.

Definitely watch your syslogs. You’ll see thousands of break-in attempts looking for WP vulnerabilities.

I have my own web server and host many Wordpress sites, yep many attempts but none get far. It is also to the sys admin to secure the server and not just script level.
And updating WP is as easy as pushing a button in the admin section. Compared to other scripts where you need to ftp etc to upload, then see to it you don’t kill your config etc … WP is easy.
And use wordfence plugin for ex as extra security … you know each day if you need to go in and push the button … I spend about 10 mins a week to keep about 15 sites up to date … can’t say the same for the other things on the server that takes hours …

But this isn’t the topic for such discussion. We all can make our decisions based on experience and readings :wink:

yes - totally agree. Very easy to delegate content authoring and formatting out to users. Just a very highly used attack target that historically has had a lot of holes to attack. A lot.

If you can get a host that supports cloudflare I have found in most cases that to be an extra benefit, not only for content delivery but for enabling regional blocking, its not any kind of super stealth military grade stuff but has worked really well for me and is in most cases just a Cpanel plugin. In conjunction with “railgun” certainly speeds up most loading times. An extra bonus to look out for is a host that uses LiteSpeed servers as opposed to standard Apache, more secure and definitely faster.

Is this project dead, I notice that it has not been updated since 2019.

Hello, Where the historical data Is stored in our websites?

@pierre I am having issues getting my Tempest data to populate onto my weather page. Any chance you or someone at your company might have a way for me to contact you directly in order to troubleshoot some issues?

Just played with it again and I don’t see any problems. Can you maybe be more specific what isn’t working ? Also being in WP, maybe some theme or plugin blocking it’s functionality ???

Hey Eric,

Check out my site and let me know but this is confusing to me as I am not a developer at all: https://elementsmtn.co/

I am running into a collection of things just not populating. I would really like to just have the current time’s conditions on one row, the current day’s conditions populate in another horizontal row and then as many days following in another row on the page. If it can be as similar as what is on the Tempest app that would be great!

I am not a developer at all so I am genuinely pretty stuck.

I saw your site but nothing related to the weather Plugin from @pierre

most is described on this page on how to get things firstly linked and then how to make a page with thee dials you want. Not really an all in one thing. It’s a bit back and forth.
Or you can use a widget and decide what to show.

I do not use WordPress so I can not help you with that. But I do create web pages.
If you put an iframe into your web page with the tempest web page that looks the same as from your app you might have what you are asking for.

Here is topic with an example and if you view the source of that page you can see how iframes are inserted.

Perhaps a web page address like this but change the Tempest station number to your own:

cheers Ian :slight_smile:

It looks like the community forum has been closed

No posts in over a year and the login link is missing

Sad … Love the plugin

I did plan to create something like this in the future but Ive been so busy with life and work. I will let you know if I have created a plugin here when I eventually get around to it.

Just got a webserver stood up and installed WordPress. Went to install the Weather Station plugin only to find it’s been taken down. @eric might want to take this information down from the FAQ
