Smart Convert \u2013 Currency & Unit Conversion is not just another calculator, it is a complete conversion infrastructure for WordPress sites. Designed for performance and flexibility, it handles everything from simple currency exchanges to complex, non-linear physical unit conversions (like Temperature).<\/p>\n\n

Whether you run a travel blog, or a technical documentation hub, this plugin ensures your visitors see accurate conversions in a format that fits your design.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\ude80 My Ambition: Premium Features for Free With this initial release, my goal is to set a new standard for what a free plugin can offer. I believe advanced tools shouldn't be locked behind a paywall. That is why Smart Convert includes enterprise-grade features usually found only in paid versions: a Custom Unit Builder, a Template Engine, Import\/Export capabilities, and Automatic Geolocation\u2014all completely free.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83c\udf1f Key Features<\/h3>\n\n

\ud83d\udcb0 Advanced Currency Engine<\/strong>\n* Rates:<\/strong> Supports 153 global currencies + cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, etc.).\n* Smart Geo-Location:<\/strong> Automatically detects visitor IP to display their local currency (powered by ipinfo.io).\n* \"Spread\" & Fees:<\/strong> Add a percentage markup (e.g., 2%) to exchange rates to simulate bank fees or retail pricing.\n* Smart Rounding:<\/strong> Intelligently adjusts decimals (e.g., 0 decimals for JPY, 6 decimals for BTC).<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udccf Comprehensive Unit Converter<\/strong>\n* 105+ Built-in Units:<\/strong> Covers 14 categories including Length, Mass, Volume, Temperature, Pressure, Energy, Speed, and Data.\n* Bi-Directional Custom Units:<\/strong> Creating a unit like \"Box\" (e.g., 1 Box = 12 Items). The plugin automatically generates the reverse conversion logic for you.\n* Complex Math:<\/strong> Handles non-linear conversions (like Fahrenheit to Celsius) with precision offset calculations.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83c\udfa8 Visual & Editor Integration<\/strong>\n* Native Gutenberg Block:<\/strong> Visually configure conversions (Amount, From, To, Decimals) with a live backend preview.\n* Inline Toolbar Tool:<\/strong> Select any text in your post and convert it instantly using the rich text toolbar button.\n* Interactive Tooltips:<\/strong> Solves the common \"overflow:hidden\" clipping issue using a smart portal strategy to display rates on hover.\n* Template System:<\/strong> Design your output using placeholders like {FROM}<\/code>, {TO}<\/code>, {RATE}<\/code>, and {DATE}<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n

\u2699\ufe0f Performance & Workflow<\/strong>\n* Zero Database Bloat:<\/strong> Uses robust Object Caching and Transients.\n* Import\/Export:<\/strong> Transfer your custom templates and custom units between sites via JSON.\n* Privacy First:<\/strong> External connections are disabled by default until explicit consent is given via the Onboarding Wizard.<\/p>\n\n
