By Relevad
The Custom Stock Widget plugin creates customizable stock widgets that can be placed anywhere on a site using shortcodes. You can choose from multiple themes and customize the colors, size, text, and symbols displayed.
Features:
- Choice of stocks
- Pre-built skins/themes
- Appearance customizations: width, height, background colors, number of stocks displayed at one time, text color, font size, and font family
- Display features: vertical lines, horizontal lines, different colors to display changes in price
- CSS input for entire widget (allows for alignment, borders, margins, padding, etc.)
- Custom stocks for specific categories
- Preview of Stock Widget after saving on settings page
Depricated support for pre-defined html colors:
* Color strings such as blue, yellow, limegreen could be used in old version of this plugin. These are no longer supported and may be lost upon saving settings.
Requirements:
- PHP version >= 5.3.0 (Dependent on 5.3 functionality. Plugin will not work without 5.3 or higher)
- Jquery version 1.6 or higher (wordpress 4.1 ships with 1.11.1)
- Ability to execute wordpress shortcodes in the location(s) you want to place stocks. (see installation)
This plugin was developed by Relevad Corporation. Authors: Artem Skorokhodov, Matthew Hively, and Boris Kletser.

Place Shortcodes
- Pages / Posts:
Add the shortcode[stock-widget]to where you want the widget shown in your post/page. - Themes:
Add the PHP code<?php echo do_shortcode('[stock-widget]'); ?>where you want the widget to show up. - Widgets:
Add[stock-widget]inside a Shortcode Widget or add<?php echo do_shortcode('[stock-widget]'); ?>inside a PHP Code Widget
There are many plugins that enable shortcode or PHP in widgets.
Here are two great ones: Shortcode Widget and PHP Code Widget - Pages / Posts:
Can I get data for any company?
The current version of the plugin supports almost all stocks on NASDAQ or NYSE.
How do I add stocks to the stock table?
All stocks can be added in the Stock Widget settings page (Settings -> StockWidget).
Go to Settings -> StockWidget
Type in your stock list separated by commas in the Stocks input box.
How do I place the stock-widget into a sidebar-widget?
You need a plugin that enables shortcode or PHP widgets.
There are plenty of such plugins on the WordPress.org.
These worked well for us: Shortcode Widget, PHP Code Widget
Install and activate the such your desired shortcode or PHP widget plugin and add it to the desired sidebar/section (Appearance->Widgets)
If you added a shortcode widget, type in [stock-widget] inside it.
If you added a PHP widget, type in <?php echo do_shortcode('[stock-widget]'); ?> inside it.
That will display the widget in the appropriate space.
Can I place two widgets with different formatting on one page?
Yes, simply create a new shortcode from the shortcodes list table page (click add new), then place it’s shortcode onto the page where ever you want. Each shortcode can be formatted completely independently and even have their own individuallized stock lists.
The widget is too big! Is there some way to shrink it?
Yes. Put in a smaller number in the width/height in Stock Widget Settings (Settings->StockWidget). Both are in pixels.
Something’s not working or I found a bug. What do I do?
