Waveleta – Crypto Price Ticker, Charts & Currency Converter

Show live crypto prices on your WordPress site without putting an API key in your page source. Waveleta adds a price ticker, crypto tables, charts, a heatmap and a currency converter for 600+ crypto markets, refreshed every minute, plus FX reference rates and commodities. Requests go through your own server, so visitors never see your key. Waveleta is a WordPress plugin for the Waveleta web app. It connects your site to the Waveleta Developer API and renders clean, theme-aware market-data widgets: crypto, FX, equities, commodities and radar signals. Display them through shortcodes, the block editor, Elementor widgets, classic widget areas or auto-insert. Market intelligence. Early signals. Smarter moves. The plugin guides you through setup on first activation, keeps your API key encrypted, and includes a full in-plugin help center. Informational only, not financial advice, not a broker. Features

• Appearance: light / dark / auto, table / card / compact layouts, accent color

1.4.3

• Improved: code quality, security hardening and WordPress coding standards compliance.

1.4.2

• Fixed: price chart in bundled templates; charts support US equities.

1.4.1

• Fixed: crypto table, ticker bar and heatmap now show major coins first (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, ADA, DOGE…) instead of the first pairs A to Z.
• New: symbols attribute (comma-separated, e.g. BTC, ETH, SOL) for the crypto table, ticker bar and heatmap, in shortcodes, blocks, Elementor widgets and the Shortcode Builder.
• New: waveleta_wp_default_crypto_symbols filter to change the default coin list.
• Improved: tables adapt to narrow columns: secondary columns are hidden in small containers and the table scrolls horizontally if needed.

1.4.0

• New: template kit — importable Elementor templates (Markets overview, Crypto prices, Currency converter, Single asset, plus Ticker header, Sidebar markets and Paywall teaser sections) and matching block patterns (category "Waveleta") for the block editor.
• New: "Templates" admin screen to create a page from any template in one click, or import it into the Elementor library.
• New: bundled translations for Spanish (es_ES), French (fr_FR) and German (de_DE), including JavaScript strings. WordPress.org language packs from translate.wordpress.org are still used when available.
• Improved: template titles and descriptions are translatable; pages created from a template use the translated title.
• Updated: translation template.

1.3.2

• Fixed: symbols entered as BTC-USD, BTC_USD, btcusd or XBT/USD are now normalized to the exact API format (BTC/USD for crypto, EUR/USD for FX, AAPL for stocks), so quote, calculator, watchlist alerts, ticker and widgets resolve prices reliably.

1.3.1

• Renamed the plugin to "Waveleta" (folder and text domain "waveleta") for the WordPress.org directory. Your settings, API key and data are preserved on existing installs.

1.3.0

• New: guided 3-step onboarding on first activation with instant API-key verification.
• New: full in-plugin help center with searchable sections, a shortcodes reference with copy buttons, system info, a copyable support bundle and contextual help tabs on every plugin screen.
• New: persistent "connect your API key" notice until a key is set; widgets show an admin-only placeholder until then (visitors see nothing).
• New: refreshed branding — logo, admin menu icon, setup and help headers.
• New: plugin row links for Settings, Help, Docs and Get API key.
• Improved: sensible defaults throughout; clearer connection testing and last-error reporting.
• Updated: translation template.

1.2.0

• Market-data widgets, blocks, Elementor widgets, access control, usage caps and caching.
