## Descripción

Exchange Rates Widget helps visitors compare live exchange rates without leaving
your WordPress page.
 Add clean live exchange rates to finance articles, tourism
and travel guides, news websites, pricing pages, business blogs, and sidebars with
a shortcode or classic widget.

Visitors get instant context for 190+ currencies, crypto assets, and metals.
 Site
owners get a lightweight setup: no API key, no local rate database, and no exchange-
rate processing load on WordPress.

#### ⭐ What makes it useful

 * 🌍 190+ currencies and assets, including popular cryptocurrencies and metals.
 * 🧩 Add rates with a shortcode, the Shortcode block, or a classic WordPress widget.
 * ⚡ No API key, local exchange-rate database, or exchange-rate processing load
   on your WordPress site.
 * 📱 Responsive layout for posts, pages, sidebars, and footers.
 * 🎨 Multiple color themes for matching different site designs.
 * 🌐 Multilingual widget labels for international audiences.
 * 🕒 Time zone setting for the displayed update date.
 * 🔒 SSL-ready CurrencyRate.Today service URLs.

#### 🎯 Where it works best

 * Finance blogs that need a quick EUR, USD, GBP, JPY, or crypto reference.
 * Tourism and travel websites where readers compare destination prices in familiar
   currencies.
 * News websites that cover markets, business, travel, inflation, or international
   stories.
 * Pricing and comparison pages that need a simple exchange-rate reference nearby.
 * Business websites that want always-visible rates in a sidebar or footer.
 * Multilingual sites that need exchange-rate labels in the visitor’s language.

#### 👀 Demos

 * Official demo: [Exchange Rates Widget](https://currencyrate.today/exchangerates-widget)
 * Product demo: [Exchange Rates Widget on Yuri.ws](https://yuri.ws/wordpress-plugins/exchange-rate-widget/)

#### 🚀 Quick start

 1. Install and activate Exchange Rates Widget.
 2. Paste the shortcode into a post, page, or Shortcode block.
 3. Choose the base currency, target currencies, language, theme, and amount.
 4. Optionally add the classic widget to a sidebar or footer.

Important: this plugin provides a classic `WP_Widget`.
 On modern WordPress installations
with the block-based widget screen, install and activate Classic Widgets to manage
the widget in Appearance > Widgets. Shortcodes work without Classic Widgets.

#### 🧩 Shortcode examples

    [erw_exchange_rates_widget lg="en" tz="0" fm="EUR" to="USD,GBP,AUD,CNY,JPY,RUB" st="info" cd="0" am="100" size_width="100%"][/erw_exchange_rates_widget]

## Preguntas frecuentes

### How do I add exchange rates to a page or post?

Use a shortcode or paste it into a Shortcode block:

    ```
    [erw_exchange_rates_widget lg="en" tz="0" fm="EUR" to="USD,GBP,AUD,CNY,JPY,RUB" st="info" cd="0" am="100" size_width="100%"][/erw_exchange_rates_widget]
    ```

### Can I show exchange rates in a sidebar?

Yes. Add “Exchange Rates Widget” under Appearance > Widgets.
 If your WordPress 
site uses the block-based widget screen, install and activate Classic Widgets first.

### Do visitors leave my website to view rates?

No. The widget is embedded directly on your page, post, sidebar, or footer.

### Does the plugin require an API key?

No. Exchange-rate lookup and display are handled by the embedded CurrencyRate.Today
service, so you do not need an API key or local rate database.

### Can I choose currencies, language, and theme?

Yes. You can choose the base currency, target currencies, language, time zone, color
theme, amount, and display mode.

### Which shortcode attributes are available?

The main attributes are `lg`, `tz`, `fm`, `to`, `st`, `cd`, `am`, and `size_width`.

See the shortcode attributes section above for the full list.

### External service and privacy

Yes. The plugin embeds an iframe from CurrencyRate.Today.
 When a page containing
the widget is viewed, the visitor’s browser requests `https://currencyrate.today/
load-exchangerates`.

The request includes display settings such as base currency, target currencies, 
language, theme, time zone, display mode, amount, and a WordPress plugin marker.

These values come from the shortcode or widget settings.

The plugin does not send WordPress usernames, passwords, admin settings, or private
site data to the service.

Service provider: CurrencyRate.Today

 * Service website: [https://currencyrate.today/](https://currencyrate.today/)
 * Privacy policy: [https://currencyrate.today/page/privacy](https://currencyrate.today/page/privacy)
 * Disclaimer: [https://currencyrate.today/page/disclaimer](https://currencyrate.today/page/disclaimer)

### Does the plugin include a Gutenberg block?

No. The plugin currently supports shortcodes and classic widgets. In the block editor,
use a Shortcode block.
