Kwel-vrae

I see differences with other websites. Why?

Calculations are done for the northern hemisphere in local time, so you may see differences with other websites as some of them display calculations in universal time (GMT). For example, Joe’s Web Tools server is in Los Angeles and display the correct calculations for pacific standard time (GMT-8).

Is the plugin compatible with versions of WordPress ealier to 2.8?

No. Because of the new widget implementation, you need to use WordPress 2.8 or later. If you are using an earlier version of WordPress, you can try using Ephemeris version 1.1 but, really, you should upgrade.
