Ultimate Crypto Widget 1.0 is a rebuild of the plugin: a new design, a block and an Elementor element, an important security fix, and all 24 widgets free, including the ones that used to need Pro.

Your saved widgets and shortcodes keep working after the update. The one thing to check: custom CSS written for the old widgets needs updating, because the widgets' HTML and class names are new (ucw-…).

Every widget is free

All 24 widget types are in this plugin, with nothing locked and no license needed:

  • Tickers: coin marquees in three designs, price labels in three designs, and price sliders.
  • Tables: a ranked price table, a searchable and paged table with market cap, volume and supply, a table of change over a day, a week and a month, and a multi-currency list.
  • Charts: a coin's price history over the days you choose, a market heatmap, and an overview of the whole market.
  • Cards: price cards, price cards with charts, coin information cards, and an accordion that opens to show a chart.
  • Tools: compare two to four coins, a crypto converter, the top gainers and losers, trending coins, and a holdings calculator.

Seven of these are new in 1.0: compare coins, the converter, top movers, the market overview, the heatmap, trending coins and the holdings calculator. Widgets saved with the old Pro plugin now show with this plugin alone.

New

  • A Crypto Widget block for the block editor, with a live preview.
  • A Crypto Widget element for Elementor.
  • A modern design for every widget, with light, dark and automatic colours and an accent colour you choose.
  • A live preview while you set a widget up, and a redesigned admin.
  • No API key needed. Prices come from CoinGecko's public API; Open Exchange Rates is no longer used.
  • Live prices come from Coinbase, then Kraken, then Binance, so they also work for visitors in the United States.
  • Every text can be translated, including inside the widgets. Right-to-left languages are supported, and prices follow the page's language.

Security

  • Closed a hole that let a visitor run shortcodes through the plugin's REST API. Every REST route now checks who is asking, validates its input and is rate limited. Updating is strongly recommended.
  • Draft widgets are no longer visible to visitors.

Performance and fixes

  • Scripts and styles load only on pages that show a widget, and the scripts are much smaller.
  • Several widgets on one page no longer overwrite each other.
  • Prices in a currency other than US dollars are no longer converted with a rounded rate.
  • A coin's 24-hour volume is no longer replaced by a wrong figure once live prices arrive.

Requirements

WordPress 6.5.5 or newer (tested up to 7.1) and PHP 8.2 or newer.

Install

Update from your WordPress dashboard, or install Ultimate Crypto Widget from Plugins → Add New. The zip attached to this release is the same build that goes to WordPress.org.
