Add customization to ` Additional CSS` control in theme `Customizer`, or you can use my free WordPress plugin [Head & Footer Code](https://wordpress.org/plugins/head-footer-code/) ### Are those cryptocurrency prices live? Quotes are delayed up to 2 minutes. To prevent overloaded requests to Crypto Compare API, we cache responses for two minutes in local WordPress. ### Can I use a Referrer ID from Coin Base? Absolutely. Simply enter your Referral ID to widget field. If you leave that field empty, no link will be displayed. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Easy CryptoCurrency Ticker” is open source software.
