At the time of writing this, Willy Weather has not updated it’s widget for Wordpress for 2 years! It is a shame this plugin has been neglected as it was a good weather widget for Australia in its day.

Easy to install, easy to use. It’s accessible in the widget area, but my site wasn’t using any. So to get it to appear at the top of my page, I had to manually create a widget area, but that didn’t take too long and allowed me to be very precise with placement.

So sad to see a great plug-in no longer have support. Out of all the weather plug-ins I have looked at this is the most versatile. However I would like to point out one error if you’re inclined for a quick fix: Your links to Radar, Satellite and Synoptic are broken (404). The only thing stopping me from using it on my website is there are no short codes which really limits me.

Awesome plugin by willy weather. Finally! A straightforward no muckaround plugin that just works. Been waiting a long time for this. The fact that the data comes from BOM just makes it that much more awesome. All other weather plugins pale by comparison. Thank you, thank you , thank you, thank you!
