A lightweight plugin to show the latest Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coin prices on your website.

== Description ==

[CryptoWP](https://cryptowp.com/) is a lightweight plugin that makes it easy to manage and display cryptocurrency coin prices and other coin information on your website.

See CryptoWP’s top features:

* Import and manage coins from the **Crypto Dashboard**
* Link your pages to coin prices
* Refresh coin data every 15 minutes
* Show coin prices in 30 currencies
* Easy to use shortcode and Crypto widget
* Plain text, List, and Grid layout templates
* Developer friendly features and API
* Translation ready
* Pro feature on the way [(see more →)](https://cryptowp.com/)

Through the beautifully designed **Crypto Dashboard** you can import key data about your favorite cryptocurrencies to your site with ease.

Coin prices update in the background of your site every 15 minutes to always show the latest data from the markets.

CryptoWP comes with a drag-and-drop Widget and the `[crypto]` shortcode to to instantly display your imported coin prices data on your site.

To show coin data in versatile ways, use the built-in **Grid**, **List**, and **Text** templates (more coming soon).

*Note: The CryptoWP plugin only saves relevant coin data from the coins you choose to import to you site through the Crypto Dashboard. CryptoWP gets all of its data from the [CryptoCompare API](https://cryptocompare.com/) and stores it in the most minimal way possible. This plugin shows **no** watermarks on your website. We cannot offer support for any downtime, but do actively maintain this plugin.*

New features coming soon in [CryptoWP Pro](https://cryptowp.com/).

= Which currencies are supported? =

CryptoWP supports the 30+ currencies handled in the CryptoCompare API. As of version 1.0, you can only show prices in one currency at a time, with multi-currency support towards the top of the roadmap for future development.

= Where does coin data come from? =

CryptoWP pulls data, including coin names, prices, percentage increases, logos, and other information from the CryptoCompare API. The plugin refreshes its data every 15 minutes on page load, and you can manually refresh data from you Crypto Dashboard.

You can also add your own custom coins, but coin data will only be pulled if it exists within CryptoCompare.

CryptoWP is NOT affiliated with CryptoCompare in any way, it just makes use of its wonderful API.
