Master Currency WP

Description

Master Currency WP makes it very easy to create currency converter forms, list and single conversions with shortcodes. No programming skills are required to create these forms, lists and single
conversions. Focus has been that the user easily could add just any conversion of currencie(s) to his/her page without entering a single line of code, but at the same time offer real
good flexibility with a very well thought html-structure so any developer could easily apply his/her layout. The plugin is of course created with an objectoriented approach
so it’s fairly easy to extend functionality. If you do miss some functionality, please tell in the support forum!

FAQ

Why don’t you include any css for the plugin?

The goal is to make the plugin work as fast as possible as expected even with the design. By not supplying any css the developer has full control over
what’s happening all the way. If you want to some css to start with, just copy the css from the usage example (in the “Other notes”-tab) and put it in your theme (prefererably in your child’s theme).

Does the plugin work on a multilanguage site?

Yes. It supports label changes directly in the shortcode or through given language files in the lang/ folder of the plugin. Text domain is mastercurrency-wp so language files should look like this:
mastercurrency-wp-sv_SE.mo, mastercurrency-wp-sv_SE.po. (if swedish: sv_SE = swedish)

Does the plugin support any other external source to fetch current rates?

No. Not at the moment, but if you are a developer it would easily managed by creating a new object and extending the
current mastercurrencywp object and change the source that should be used to fetching the rates. If there would be a
high demand of fetching rates from another source it would be considered to add that source, but not there are no such
high demand for any other source then ECB at the moment

Do you have any pro version?

No, everything is free!
