WP Stock Ticker is one of our most popular WordPress plugins. Released via the WordPress Plugin Repository it now has several thousand users.
We are very keen to keep development going on this plugin and to offer more functionality. Today sees the release of the Pro version of the plugin. It’s available for just $15 (Australian Dollars) here.
The Pro version sees a lot of work completed to make the plugin more robust. We’ve received many reports that the Yahoo! Finance API was not available for short periods of time and this left the plugin displaying no data.
Now if the API is not available we will have a fall back or cached data set that we can display until the data is once again available from Yahoo.
