Beskrivning
Cryptocurrency Ticker displays current cryptocurrency prices (bitcoin, ethereum, and/or litecoin) on your WordPress site. You may select which quotes to show, in either USD or EUR prices.
Prices are fetched from coinbase.com using their API (https://developers.coinbase.com/).
Ticker prices are cached for a duration that you specify in the widget menu, to improve performance and prevent your site from making a ton of requests to coinbase.com.

Vanliga frågor
- Can I change the look of the widget?
-
Yes, simply modify the included crypto-ticker.css file, located in the plugin’s /css directory.
- What about support for other cryptocurrencies?
-
I may add the smaller altcoins in the future if there is enough interest. If you can’t wait, adding them yourself should be a trivial task; just keep in mind that because of the way the btc-e API is set up, each additional currency means an additional request, which will impact performance on cache misses. If I do decide to add the other altcoins, I’ll probably re-write the widget so that the requests are asynchronous.
- I have a referrer ID at Coinbase. Can I use it?
-
Yes! Version 1.2 and up allows you to enter your Coinbase referral ID in the widget settings. Please note that if you don’t have your own referral ID, a default one will be used.
- The ticker is showing different prices on all of my site’s pages, and/or doesn’t seem to be updating – help!
-
You most likely have a WordPress caching plugin installed that is either misconfigured or out-of-date. Make sure that you’re running the latest version. Older versions of W3 Total Cache will cause this problem (the most recent release should be fine).
