I have tried WU but it looks like WU canceled all APIs than I tried OWM and also doesn't work, no forecast ny my site, after that I try also DarkSky, and also doesn't work but I see pooling data from last two sites.
Debug = 1 in weewx.conf
I also deleted forecast.sdb and restart weewx
Here is log and wee_debug.

As Gary pointed I will start new topic.

Might be time for you to start a new thread specifically for your forecast problems, I think this one is getting a bit long and you now have a new issue.

You might like to start off by stopping WeeWX, confirming debug = 1 in weewx.conf, deleting the forecast database forecast.sdb and then restarting WeeWX. Let WeeWX run for 2-3 archive periods and post a log extract from when WeeWX was restarted until the 2-3 archive periods have elapsed. Would also help if you posted a wee_debug report. Make sure before posting the wee_debug report you check the output for any user names, passwords or other sensitive data and remove before posting. wee_debug does a good job at doing this but its not perfect.

Looks like you are receiving the forecast from OWM and I can see it here https://vreme.povej.net/forecast/forecast-periods.html

I don't use the Sofaskin, but it looks like you need to update the template that creates the Forecast table.

this is what I had for WU and now I change for OWM and doesn't work. Is there anything else to setup for OWM or maybe DS?

[[forecast_table_settings]]
#        source = WU
        source = OWM
        num_days = 7

[[forecast_strip_settings]]
#       source = WU
       source = OWM
        num_days = 15
    num_periods = 40

Damian,

Since the forecasting extension example page for your site is displaying OWM data the OWM forecast appears to be working. The issue will be with the sofaskin. The solution will depend on the sofaskin author, it may be a simple case of changing a sofaksin config setting to use the OWM forecast instead of WU, or it may be that the author has hard coded the WU forecast in the skin. Impossible for me to say (or guess) without seeing the underlying code. I understand the original author no longer supports the skin and googling 'weewx sofaskin' found many forks. I could not find any version that had the forecast data included.

If you can give me the link to where you downloaded your version of sofaskin I am happy to have a quick look at the code and see if there is an easy fix. Otherwise you may be best served by contacting the author of your version of sofaskin.

Hi
Thank you for your willing to help.
I have installed sofaskin and than add forecast, I am not programmer so I did as I know.
I have zipped sofaskin so you can look at it. Before it worked with WU but don't know what is differend with OWM.
If you try and test that skin it should work as it is.
rar is a bit too large so I have uploaded it here on link.

regards
Damian

After I post this I remember what I forget to change, now it works. Thank you for helping.
If somebody want to use that skin it can, it works.

I'm sorry Damian but this is now getting outside my range of skills. Matthew or someone with some html/bootstrap knowledge might be able to help.
