Hi all,
The BlissWeather widget was working fine for a couple of days until I restarted the device. The widget is now blank and nothing I do seems to be doing anything (location permission is still allowed). I’m running e/OS 3.3 on a FairPhone 6.
Any suggestion on how to make it work again?

Thanks xander2m.
What are the critical options that could disable BlissWeather? I can check in case I changed something inadvertently.
The settings are the icon top right. There are my settings working fine here.
Weather source, is default OpenWeather (fixed here).
Update Interval → 2 hours
I use Custom Location (if alternative, Bliss must have Location permission)
Locatiion. When you set this you must use the correct naming convention for your chosen location by choosing from a selection. In certain cases it may be possible for a user to set an unrecognised location. Maybe try a nearby well populated location till you see how it works.
Thanks aibd.
I have the following settings:
but I still don’t see anything (I have also tried without a custom location, same thing):
There you go. “brussels” is not a recognised location. The choices are
Having tried to reproduce your error I think you may find one or more restarts may be necessary.
Edit. Confirmed 1 restart did not fix. Try a different city, I used
Paris (FR)
till it corrects. Perhaps be prepared to wait for sync to OpenWeather.
Thanks, I’'ll input a correctly entered location and see if it works. How long is typically the sync with OpenWeather?
What is strange though is that I have the same issue even when not using a custom location (i.e., when it should use my current location), so the issue might not be related with me having entered a non-recognized location.
I’ll keep you posted.
Sorry, I unable to advise on technical aspects. I didn’t add any location but it just worked (although I am not in Brussels!). I also allow location all of the time in Bliss weather settings.
xander2m: Indeed, I have the exact same app permission settings
aibd: I put Paris (FR) as a test, and after a few hours it did update correctly. However, afterwards I put Brussels (BE) but it is still stuck on Paris since yesterday haha 
Whether this is normal behavior or not, it does feel like the app is broken/ barely functional
Perhaps worth mentioning that on a different system I did find https://openweathermap.org/ very particular that it is correctly set. I was not altogether surprised that having set a non valid location it was hard to undo.
When resetting Brussels were you shown the “Confirm location” window I showed in Post #6?
If typing a Custom location please try
Brussels, BE
I managed to make it work following your suggestion, thanks a lot aibd!
What caused the issue was that the “Select location” window didn’t appear for some reason. So even after inputting Brussels (BE), as shown in the Post#6 window, it was still not recognized as a valid location. Somehow typing “Brussels, BE” instead did the trick and tiggered the popup window to appear.
So, my take is that this is indeed straigthforward in hindsight, but the app could benefit by guiding the users some more, e.g. by explicitly mentioning that an input is not valid/ not found.
I get ‘Invalid City Name’ no matter what I type, including all the suggestions above
Hmmm… I was running v3.3 at the time, but I saw in the 3.4 release note that they fixed a bug and improved the location search of Blissweather. Maybe try updating to the latest version if not yet the case?
I had the same problem on 3.2, fixed upon upgrading to 3.4 (I skipped 3.3)
thanks all, updating to 3.4 indeed fixed the issue
