Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Show tide times and heights for over 700 ports and beaches in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex, Kent, London, Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk.

  • Select from over 700 UK ports and beaches
  • Add tide times and heights using a sidebar widget or shortcode
  • Choose between multiple design themes and viewing options
  • Choose to display tide times and heights for 1, 2 or 3 days
  • Include a Google Map for your location, plus optional text
  • Customisable JavaScript widget also available here

How to use the widget

Go to WordPress / Appearance / Widgets and drag the widget into your sidebar. You can then configure settings for:

  • Region and location
  • Description (optional)
  • Widget type and theme
  • Number of days to show
  • Advanced widget options
  • Google Map view options

How to use the shortcode

You can add tide times and heights using the tide_plugin shortcode and the following options:

  • region: use “cornwall”, “devon”, “dorset”, “hampshire”, “sussex”, “kent”, “london”, “essex”, “suffolk” or “norfolk”
  • location: use one of the location codes from here
  • type: use “table” or “card” to set the widget type
  • theme: use “basic”, “space”, or “ocean” to set the widget theme
  • days: use “1”, “2”, or “3” to set the number of days
  • slider: use “true” to enable widget controls when showing multiple days
  • icons: use “false” to disable widget icons
  • map: use “true” to include a Google Map
  • maptype: use “satellite” or “roadmap” to set the type of map
  • mapzoom: use “0” to “20” to set the initial map zoom
  • mapwidth: default is “100%” but you can set it to any valid CSS dimension
  • mapheight: default is “auto” but you can set it to any valid CSS dimension

Example shortcode:

[tide_plugin region="cornwall" location="boobys-bay" type="card" theme="ocean" days="3" slider="true" map="true" maptype="roadmap" mapzoom="12" mapwidth="100%" mapheight="400px"]Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet[/tide_plugin]

This would show a map plus tide times and heights for the next 3 days for Booby’s Bay, Cornwall.
