I went to install this plugin because I did not have it installed and after v2.3 update to get the weather to show on top bar, it need the api plugin installed as I think that is what is needed but as soon as I installed the plugin and right after clicking the activate link it gives a 500 server error and I had to go to FTP and remove the plugin manually. How do I install the plugin now? I have enabled weather. Do I need to disable it and then install the plugin? What gives. It never done this before the update to latest version 2.3 of the theme.

Update: Just tried disabling the weather on top bar and still got 500 server error after activating the plugin and still had to manually delete plugin in FTP. Guess I won’t be using that Weather on top bar.

Do I need to use the child theme for it?

Update: nope it did not work even with child theme activated.

Documentation says there is top bar templates folder in the panel directory but there is no images at all for setting up the api. So that does not work without the images anyways. So I am just going to give up on this and not even bother with the api since there is no images to even work with for the top bar.

LOL! I am stupid! I just read the text on the top bar settings on top and it says “The top bar is the black top menu. It is very useful when you want to add a login option, social icons and pages like About us, Contact us etc… If you are an advanced user and want to customize it or register new top bar layouts, have a look at our top bar template API”.

So basically the API is only for the advanced users and I should be able to see the weather on top right with it enabled anyways. Just don’t have a templates added for top bar. So if I just enable and wait it refreshes the weather for the top bar? Em I correct on that?

Nope still not as easy as just reading that. I still have to add a menu item for the weather and there is nothing to explain what link or anything to add to that menu item for the weather to even show up. This is difficult without any information on how to get that weather to even show up on top bar. I am going to give up on it. Find a widget instead.

I will see if anything happens after a little bit with the refresh from openweathermap. I spent about 3 hours trying to figure why it isn’t showing.

Hi,

Thanks for posting details and results of your experience on this however you have omitted to also give us informations about what ‘weather’ you refer too as the theme doesn’t provide any features in relaxation to this.

Please also note that theme’s API system allows to alter or create new theme elements as we also state in its docs: http://screencast.com/t/WyPdlTYZmfS

Thanks

This must be me imagining this in your theme panel. If your saying its not there then what is this?

Weather

Oh and by the way, its still not even working even if you have forgot about that. Something you guys decided to forget and leave in there, that did not work?

It is alright to make the mistake of forgetting that you guys actually added that but it does not work even after hours of it enabled.

Hi

Sorry for that inconvenience. The widget weather will be available in theme’s widgets in the next theme update, but somehow we added the options in theme panel earlier. That’s our mistake!

Thanks for the message!
