Awesome Weather widget display on smartphones

Hi there,
I’m having a little issue showing the Awesome Weather widget in the sidebar of my site (please see http://wp-dev-ntr24-31ba64cdf656650e14f1f97f34ac243d.ntr24.tv).

I’ve put in my home widgetized sidebar two Awesome Weather widgets following two different ways: the first on top has been added using a VC element to the sidebar (which inside contains only an Awesome Weather widget) and the second below has been added simply dragging a [tagDiv Awesome Widget] element to the home sidebar (Appaerance->Widgets section). Please see http://screencast.com/t/Kgdbe1PdeW for details.
The rendering result is that the first one weather widget is not correctly displayed on smartphones (due to the Celsius simbol on the new line, please see http://screencast.com/t/KlPlxzbBRFK) while it is correctly displayed on desktop devices. The second one weather widget is corretcly displayed only on smartphones (please see http://screencast.com/t/9ej82sj8) while it is not corretly displayed on desktop devices (please see http://screencast.com/t/oZlIAeIfn1V). So that how can I get the Awesome Weather widget to be correctly shown both on desktop devices and smartphone devices?

Endly, even if I know that the Weather widget is a new feature to be improved in the future, I’d like to ask you some implementation ideas that maybe could be considered for future developments:

– could you optionally show the link “Extended forecasting” on the widget, pointing to the forecasting feed site (in my case it is http://openweathermap.org/city/3182179)?
– could you show the weather icons and the max/min temperatures for each one of the next days forecastings rather than displaying only the max temperatures as it is now?

Last but not the least: what is the caching expiring time used by the Awesome Weather widget before a new call to the weather feed server has to be performed? In the future do you plan to make it modifiable?

Thank you in advance for any appreciated help.

Giuseppe

Hi

I’ve tested our weather widget in sidebar an it works fine: http://screencast.com/t/AinIexLDVFYd I am not sure why is not displayed properly on your site but id could be due to a conflict with some other widgets added on the page. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test again. Also try adding the widgets in sidebar like here: http://screencast.com/t/a7H9kpOfoFcq

I’ve added your suggestion on our todo list and when the time comes the developers will consider them. This may take some time as we have a long list with feature requests and we have to take them one by one.

Thanks!
