How to enable and use the Custom Weather Search feature?

The Custom Location Weather Search feature allows your website visitors to dynamically search and view weather information for any location directly on the frontend. This enhances user interaction by providing a real-time weather lookup tool.

Here’s how to enable and use the custom location search feature.

1. Enable Custom Weather Search (Backend):

  • From your WordPress Dashboard, navigate to Location Weather and then click on “WEATHER SETTINGS” tab.
  • Scroll down to the option labeled “Custom Weather Search”.
  • Ensure the toggle switch next to “Custom Weather Search” is “ENABLED” (green).
  • While in the settings, you can also define the default location if no search is performed or if you are not displaying weather for the visitor’s auto-detected location. You can specify this by “City Name,” “City ID,” “ZIP Code,” or “Coordinates.”
  • Click Save Changes (not visible in screenshot but implied for settings).

2. Use the Custom Location Search (Frontend):

  • Once enabled in the backend, any weather block you add to your page (like a Weather Card, Weather Horizontal, Weather Detailed Forecast, etc.) will display a “Search location” bar on the frontend.
  • Your website visitors can then type a city name, ID, ZIP code, or coordinates into this search bar.
  • After entering the location, they can click the magnifying glass icon or press Enter.
  • The weather information displayed in the block will instantly update to show the weather for the searched location.
