描述
A simple and easy configurable plugin for WordPress which allows you to insert inline stock quotes with stock price information to posts, pages, widgets or even to template files. Insertion is mainly available by shortcode.
Please note, stock data has been provided by Alpha Vantage
Stock Quote is simplified, static inline variation of Stock Ticker plugin.
Multisite WordPress is not supported yet
IMPORTANT Stock Quote does not have own Gutenberg Block, so you can add [stock_quote]
shortcode inline to Paragraph Block or Common Block to insert Stock Quote within the post/page content.
Disclaimer
All stock data used in Stock Quote is provided by Alpha Vantage, displayed for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered as investment advise.
Author of the Stock Quote plugin does not accept liability or responsibility for your use of plugin, including but not limited to trading and investment results. Along to that, author of Stock Quote plugin can not guarantee that stock prices are always accurate as they are provided by 3rd party service for free.
Features
- Configure default stock symbol that will be displayed by shortcode if no symbol provided
- Configure default presence of company as Company Name or as Stock Symbol
- Configure global colours for unchanged quote, negative and positive changes
- Tooltip for quote item display company name, exchange market and last trade date/time (if available)
- Define custom names for companies to be used instead symbols
- Plugin uses native WordPress function to get and cache data from AlphaVantage.co API for predefined duration of time
For feature requests or help send feedback or use support forum on WordPress.
How It Works?
- When front-end is loaded in browser, plugin will render quote placeholder in place where you have inserted shortcode.
- Right after page is loaded, AJAX call will request quote content and inject it inside quote placeholder. That quote is retrieved as a cached value in database.
- Couple seconds latter, second AJAX request will initiate background quote update from WordPress.
- If
Cache Timeout
period has expired, plugin will pick first symbol fromAll Stock Symbols
field. Each time it will pick next symbol. - Without disturbing page rendering and speed to get quote from database, plugin in background retrieve data from AlphaVantage.co for picked symbol.
- If quote is successfully retrieved, plugin will save value for that symbol in database.
- New fetched quote for symbol will be displayed on front-end only after page reload but not right after updated quote get fetched from AlphaVantage.co!
How To Use
You can add Stock Quote to posts, pages or widgets by shortcode.
Shortcode

You can tune single shortcode with parameters:
symbol

– can bename
to represent company with Company Name (default), orsymbol

and%ltrade%
which stand for the last trade day (like 2020-09-25), which can be followed by the PHP date format to customize date output, separate by pipe character, eg. |l, jS \of F Yraw

I set to show company name but symbol is displayed instead
-
You’ll need to set company name to Custom Names field on plugin settings page.
-
My quote do not update or have large delay
-
There is couple possible causes for this issue:
1. Your website do not have enough visits to fetch each symbol fromAll Stock Symbols
field. Solution: We are working oncron
driven updates, but we do not have ETA for that release.
1. You have set too shortCache Timeout
value so plugin do not have enough time to fetch updated quote for each symbol inAll Stock Symbols
. Solution: IncreaseCache Timeout
value.
1. You have too longCache Timeout
value so plugin skip fetching of updated quotes. Solution: decreaseCache Timeout
value below 600 (that means below 10 minutes).
1. You have set too shortFetch Timeout
so plugin do not have enough time to successfully retrieve symbol from AlphaVantage.co. Solution: IncreaseFetch Timeout
by 2-3 second than you have set already. If that still does not work, try with another 2-3 seconds.
1. When you hover over quote on front-end, you should see last trade date. If date is older than expected (including last trade day), it’s possible that something stuck in plugin. Solution: Enable debugging in WordPress as explained in official article https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#Example_wp-config.php_for_Debugging and after couple of hours disable debugging, upload wp-content/stock-quote.log to DropBox/Google Drive/etc and provide link to log in email sent throug our contact form at https://urosevic.net/c/
