Questions
Is the plugin free?
Yes — free on WordPress.org, with no paid tier, no signup and no API key. Every widget style is included.
Does it slow my site down?
No. The plugin adds one small script, enqueued through the normal WordPress pipeline. Prices load asynchronously in the visitor’s browser from a fast CDN, so nothing blocks your page.
Do I need an account or API key?
Neither. Install it, add the block or shortcode, and it works. Prices come from a public, CDN-cached feed maintained by Currency.Wiki.
How often do prices update?
Price data is refreshed on the server every few minutes, and each widget re-checks for new prices while the page is open — no reload needed.
Which coins and currencies are supported?
Over 60 of the top cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, BNB, Dogecoin, Cardano and more — priced in USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, INR, BRL, RUB, TRY or IDR.
Can I remove the “Powered by Currency.Wiki” credit?
Yes. It is off by default. Turn it on (or off) under Crypto Widget → Settings, or set branding="1" on an individual shortcode.
