PressViz helps you turn raw numbers into charts and tables that feel at home inside modern WordPress content. Build visuals directly in the block editor, style them in the sidebar, and publish them without code, third-party dashboards, or complicated setup.<\/p>\n\n
It is designed for editorial teams, marketers, publishers, bloggers, and site owners who want polished data storytelling without learning charting software.<\/p>\n\n
Why PressViz stands out<\/strong><\/p>\n\n PressViz optionally sends deactivation feedback to a Google Sheets endpoint via Google Apps\nScript when a user submits the deactivation form. No data is sent if the user clicks\n\"Skip & Deactivate\" or dismisses the modal. Data sent: deactivation reason code and label,\noptional free-text details, site URL, WordPress version, plugin version, plugin slug, PHP\nversion, and a UTC timestamp.<\/p>\n\n Service: https:\/\/script.google.com\nPrivacy policy: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n PressViz currently supports bar, line, area, pie, doughnut, scatter, radar, gauge, and funnel charts.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. PressViz is built specifically for the WordPress block editor. Creation, editing, data entry, and live preview all happen inside the editor.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. You can enable front-end export buttons so visitors can download a chart as a PNG image or export the underlying data as CSV.<\/p><\/dd>\n If you deactivate the plugin, charts will not render on the front end. Your chart data is preserved in the database and will return when you reactivate. PressViz never deletes your data on deactivation.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, with per-site activation. Activate PressViz on each site where you want to use charts \u2014 do not network-activate it. Each site maintains its own chart data and settings independently.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. PressViz creates one custom table \u2014 `{prefix}pressviz_charts` \u2014 to store your chart data. It is created automatically on activation and is never modified by WordPress core or other plugins. On deactivation the table is left intact. It is only removed if you check \"Remove Data on Delete\" in Settings before deleting the plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n Chart Types<\/strong>\n* Expanded chart type support: area, scatter, gauge, funnel, and radar charts (in addition to bar, line, pie, doughnut)<\/p>\n\n Data & Input<\/strong>\n* Expanded the starter flow with stronger CSV import, validation, and safer spreadsheet-style editing\n* Improved the data grid with sticky headers, modal expansion, guided editing controls, and better destructive-action safeguards<\/p>\n\n Export & Download<\/strong>\n* Added front-end export buttons so visitors can download charts as PNG images or export the underlying data as CSV\n* Added controls to show, hide, or pin export actions per chart<\/p>\n\n Admin Settings & Defaults<\/strong>\n* Added site-wide defaults for key chart settings while preserving per-chart overrides in the block inspector\n* Improved the settings experience with a visual theme picker, dynamic defaults, configurable CSV row limits, and a clearer deactivation feedback flow<\/p>\n\n Responsive & Customization<\/strong>\n* Improved responsive behavior across charts, tables, the starter flow, and the inspector for desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts\n* Expanded no-code styling controls with better chart browsing, spacing options, subtitles, legends, and axis labels<\/p>\n\n Editor UX Polish<\/strong>\n* Smoothed the editing flow with clearer step states, better upload and import UX, disabled duplicate apply actions, and improved visual feedback during updates\n* Added CSV import warnings for formula-like values to help users spot potentially unsafe spreadsheet content<\/p>\n\n Accessibility<\/strong>\n* Strengthened keyboard navigation, labeling, and assistive-technology support across the editor and front-end output\n* Improved chart semantics so custom descriptions and export controls are announced more clearly to screen readers<\/p>\n\n SEO & Data Safety<\/strong>\n* AI-SEO-friendly chart output with schema.org Dataset markup\n* Added a clearer deactivation experience that explains how chart data is handled when the plugin is removed<\/p>\n\n Data Validation & Compatibility<\/strong>\n* Added stronger compatibility checks so chart types, column roles, and saved mappings stay aligned with the current dataset\n* Improved guided remapping, validation messages, and API responses for incompatible or incomplete chart configurations<\/p>\n\n Rendering Robustness<\/strong>\n* Improved front-end rendering safeguards so invalid, missing, or changed data degrades gracefully instead of breaking the chart<\/p>\n\n Testing & Code Quality<\/strong>\n* Expanded automated test coverage for rendering, editor flows, and technical accessibility checks\n* Continued internal refactoring and UI consistency work to make the editor easier to maintain<\/p>\n\n Bug Fixes<\/strong>\n* Fixed chart rendering and responsiveness issues in constrained block layouts and nested containers\n* Resolved editor-side layout and asset-loading bugs affecting inspector behavior and block editor stability<\/p>\n\n\n
