Hi @loginid,

Are you using some custom or 3rd paty module to convert rates?

Maybe you want to try this one: https://github.com/philwinkle/Philwinkle_Fixerio

I'm just using the standard one that comes with Magento.

Also I have it set to use Webservicex in the Configuration, so not sure why it's using Google?

Any idea on how I can set it to use Webservicex when it's getting the currencies via cron?

Thanks!

I am having the exact same issue!

First time I see this behavior.

Maybe you can audit you rcode to see if there is something strange or some core file modified?

Also, can you check the module I've mentioned?

Hi,
we had a similar issue.
The service has moved from google.com/finance/ to finance.google.com/finance/.
Changing the adress might solve your problem, see: http://magehelperblog.com/fixing-currency-rates-magento-1-x/
I hope this helps.

Fantastic, thank you!

Thank you for the fix.

It worked for some time, but now I think the whole finance.google service is no longer working with the url.

Do you know of an alternative?

Thanks.

I have the same problem :-(

Hi,
the URL has changed again.
Now its "https://finance.google.com/bctzjpnsun/converter" which works, but i havent found anything resembling offical word about this.
