Log in to your WordPress dashboard, highlight “Plugins” on the main menu and then click “Add New.” Enter “Yahoo Currency” into the search field, then click the “Search Plugins” button to perform your search. Click the “Details” link located next to Yahoo Currency and then click “Install Now” to initiate the automated download and installation process. Click “Activate” after installation is complete, if prompted. Click “Posts” or “Pages” on the main WordPress menu and click the post or page into which you want to insert the Yahoo currency converter. Insert the following shortcode into the HTML editor at the location on the post or page at which you want the currency converter to appear: [ycurrency base=“XX” xcur=“YY”] Replace XX with the base currency and YY with the appropriate three-digit currencies codes, separating the YY values with a comma. If, for example, you want the converter to use U.S. dollars as its base and Euros and Canadian dollars as its potential conversion currencies, the shortcode would appear as follows: [ycurrency base=“USD” xcur=“EUR,CAN”] Click the “Update” button to save your changes.
