• PHP 8.1 or higher (8.2 recommended)
• Composer (for dependency installation)
• Active internet connection (for API calls)

Only on WordPress.com Business plan or higher, which allows custom plugin installation and Composer access. The free and Personal plans do not support custom plugins.

   ') in your theme’s PHP files

You can set the auto-refresh interval to 15, 30, or 60 seconds via the refresh attribute. Default is 30 seconds. The plugin uses server-side caching to optimize API calls, so multiple widgets share the same cached data.

Yes! All widgets use CSS classes with the .xbo-mk- prefix. You can override these in your theme’s CSS. See the Integration Guide for detailed CSS class reference and examples.

The plugin supports all trading pairs available on XBO Exchange API (280+ pairs). Most common pairs include BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, SOL/USDT, XRP/USDT, BNB/USDT, ADA/USDT, and more.

Common causes:

• Check your server can make outbound HTTPS connections to api.xbo.com
• Verify PHP allow_url_fopen is enabled or cURL is available
• Check browser console for JavaScript errors
• Clear WordPress and browser cache

This means the server couldn’t connect to api.xbo.com. Check:

• Firewall isn’t blocking outbound connections
• DNS resolution works for api.xbo.com
• SSL certificate verification is working
• Try disabling any caching plugins temporarily

Possible causes:

• Your theme’s CSS is conflicting – try adding !important to overrides
• Plugin assets didn’t load – check browser console for 404 errors
• Clear all caches (WordPress, CDN, browser)
• Verify plugin is activated and files are uploaded correctly

Ensure JavaScript is enabled in your browser and no script blockers are interfering. The refresh uses WordPress’s native REST API and JavaScript fetch API. Check browser console for errors.

Yes! All widgets expose REST API endpoints at /wp-json/xbo/v1/*. You can fetch data directly using JavaScript fetch() or any HTTP client. No authentication required for read-only endpoints. See API Documentation for details.

The plugin implements server-side caching to minimize API calls. Multiple widgets on the same page share cached data. Direct calls to api.xbo.com may have rate limits – using the plugin’s REST API endpoints leverages the cache and handles this automatically.

Yes! The plugin is open source on GitHub. You can:

• Submit bug reports and feature requests via GitHub Issues
• Fork the repository and submit pull requests
• Improve documentation
• Share your use cases and examples

Yes! Use the shortcode method in any page builder:

• Elementor: Add a Shortcode widget and paste the shortcode
• Beaver Builder: Use the HTML module
• Divi: Use the Code module
• Visual Composer: Use Raw HTML element
