Yes, of course. Maybe this hostname could also not be resolved.
You should check your logs or contact your provider and ask if they can find out why the names are not resolved.
Sometimes this is a security restriction but we need to know what your provider allows and what not. They should also tell you if they did a change to the configuration during the last weeks.

hi Hans,
Thanks again for your help.
I have tested the different transfer method in admin, but it’ doesn’t work too.
In other way, I have an error feed message in dashoard
this message is:
A feed could not be found at http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&scoring=d&ie=utf-8&num=20&output=rss&partner=wordpress&q=link:http://localhost/mywebsite/. A feed with an invalid mime type may fall victim to this error, or SimplePie was unable to auto-discover it.. Use force_feed() if you are certain this URL is a real feed.

Do you think there’s a link with my accuweather problem ?

ps: it’s strange I can’t ask here to your last message…

Well, the message says “http_request_failed Couldn’t resolve host” and thats the problem. It means that your server is not able to resolve the accuweather server name to an ip address. There can be various reasons for this. I would recommend to ask your provider why this host is not resolved. I assume your RSS newsfeeds are working (dashboard)? You can also try different transfer methods which wp-forecast supports. You can change it on the admin page. Just try them one after the other by changing the transfer method and then doing the connection test again. Sometimes we have had experienced that due to security restrictions only one or two of the methods are working.

With Weatherbug the result is:

I haven’t change nothing in my setup and there was no problem before with the same setup and WP version.
I have seen the same problem on many website use this plugin. I think is not a problem with my website…
Cheers

Hello talensac,

can you please try the connection test (link on admin page) and post the results. Did you change anything in your setup or did your provider change some security settings for php? I guess your are using accuweather as the weather data provider. Is it correct?

Hello, I’ve a problem with the wp-forecast plugin for wordpress. Since 3 or 4 days, I have this message: “Failure notice from provider:
Connection Error:http_request_failed”
I don’t know what can I do. it’s an API problem, do have you ever been the same kind of problem ?

Thank.

Hello Karen,

yes , of course. You can use the css attribute font-size to change the font size. E.g. to change the font size of the text in the details block
use the wp-forecast-curr-details class. To change the size in the header use wp-forecast-curr-head. But you have to change wp-forecast-default-nowp.css to change the css settings for the shortcode. Do not change wp-forecast-default.css because this one is only for widgets.

regards, hans

The widget works great. Thank you. My client also wants the weather displayed on a page. I've done this using the [wpforecast id="B" width="400" height="700"] shortcode. However the text is quite small and nothing I seem to change in the css file seems to change it when I use the short code. When using the shortcode is there a way to make the text a little larger? Thanks for your help, Karen
