Units

Why Units?

Units provides your users with an intuitive way to choose and display their preferred unit of measurement. The user’s preferred unit of measurement is saved via session, cookie, or none – configurable under the plugin settings.

Any number of primary/alternate units can be added, along with their conversion formulas.

Visit unitswitcher.com for more detailed information.

Using Units

Add primary units under Settings > Units. Alternate units may be added by providing their name and conversion formula. Multiple alternate units may be added for each primary unit.

Use the function unit_switcher($value, $primaryunit, $round) in your template to display the switcher. Pass the stored value as the first parameter and primary unit of measurement as the second value.

To display a single switcher, the shortcode [unit_switcher] is available for use. The shortcode requires two parameters: unit (the primary unit being converted) and value (the stored value).

Important: Unit Switcher requires WordPress version 3.8 or higher, and PHP version 5.3.2 or higher.
