 * Hello,
 * When I read through the documentation, it looked very clear on how to setup a
   static location where everyone who views the website can view the same weather
   location. I would like to use the plugin to automatically load a weather page
   based upon geolocation and give the user the option of manually typing and viewing
   any other location. Is there documentation on how to do this? Or could you help
   me figure it out?
    Thanks.

 * OK, so create a “normal” weather, then, when you edit it, if you have WP Cloudy
   Geolocation plugin enabled, you’ll see a new metaboxe called WP Cloudy Geolocation.
   
   Just check: Enable geolocation on this weather and if you want: Force geolocation
   on this weather when page loads? Save! That’s it!

 * OK, I’m able to get something to load, but it appears it’s for weather in South
   Africa. (I’m in the states). And the map is not loading and there’s no place 
   to manually input another location. Any idea what the problem could be?

   your ask for credentials. Never do that in these forums, OK?

 * Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and
   a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some
   ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the
   person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.

 * There are many ways to get information you need and accessing the user’s site
   should not be one of them.
    - Ask for a link to the [http://pasetbin.com/](http://pasetbin.com/) log of 
      the user’s web server error log.
    - Ask the user to create and post a link to their `phpinfo();` output.
    - Ask the user to install the [Send System Info plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/send-system-info/)
      and get the data that way.
    - Walk the user through [enabling WP_DEBUG and how to log that output to a file and how to share that file.](https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG#WP_DEBUG_LOG_and_WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY)
    - Walk the user through basic troubleshooting steps such and disabling all other
      plugins except yours, switch to the Twenty Fifteen theme, clear their cache
      and cookies and try again.
    - Ask the user for the step-by-step on how they can reproduce the problem.
 * You get the idea.
 * Volunteer support is not easy. But these forums need to a safe place for all 
   users, experienced or new. Accessing their system that way is a short cut that
   will get you into real trouble in these forums.
