Overview

The plugin enables users to efficiently manage datasets through a user-friendly spreadsheet interface and display the data in the form of charts using Chart.js or Highcharts libraries. These charts can be effortlessly embedded into standard posts via shortcodes, enhancing the presentation of data in a visually appealing manner. It's important to note that from version 1.8, the Chart.js library has shifted from the 2.x.x branch, potentially affecting those who have customized its default behavior. Additionally, as of version 1.7, Highcharts is not included by default and requires the installation of the M Chart Highcharts Library plugin for related features. Comprehensive documentation is available on the Wiki, and contributions, issue reporting, or feature requests can be managed through Github.

Users appreciate the plugin's straightforwardness and ease of use, especially for creating and customizing charts. The CSV import feature and live preview functionality are highly praised. The plugin also offers a clean backend interface and excellent support from the developers, leading to quick issue resolution. However, some drawbacks include limited styling options, lack of support for special characters, and minor bugs. Users also expressed a desire for Gutenberg block support and more flexibility in chart customization, including handling multiple data sets and setting chart heights. Despite these, it remains one of the best free charting plugins for WordPress, appreciated for its functionality and ease of use.

I looked at a few different plugins that will put graphs on my site, and this one is by far the most straightforward. It’s incredibly easy to type in data or upload data from a csv. As a bonus, the data table editor is pretty slick in itself, even aside from the graphing! Additionally, the plugin code is easy to read and well-commented. Great job documenting this, for those who might want to extend its behavior. Depending on your use case, one feature could be good or bad: the charts are generated in real time. A static image is generated only once, but if you are using the javascript chart library the data is pulled from the database every time the chart is requested (notwithstanding caching that your site might do). For me, this is a huge bonus, because with a simple hook, I can alter the chart data to include dynamic values on demand. Very cool! This topic was modified 4 months, 3 weeks ago by kennethrg.

Great plugin. Clean and simple approach. Love the live preview. I hope that the author will find time to continue developing this on a regular basis, because it is too good to be buried. It would be nice to be able to set the chart height in proportional units and have at least some styling options. I know that theming is possible, but in some cases, the charts require individual styling. Font size, alignment, legend location, grid, etc. Also, support for special characters is needed, such as % for better data representation. This topic was modified 10 months, 1 week ago by PauliusR.

This is the plugin I would want to build, but it’s already built better than I could imagine. One thing on my wish list would be supporting Gutenberg block. It can work similarly to Gravity Forms. Select a chart with a dropdown, then the chart will show in the editor. Thanks for all the developers who worked on this. Maybe one day I can be good enough to contribute.

we had a custom problem with m-chart on our page and that was interfering with rendering of our charts and the dev helped us to resolve the issue in no time at all with provided custom code. Just incredible plugin and team. Great job!

Easy to use, plenty of different graphs/charts to choose from. Lots of configuration options via code templates and filters. Many thanks to the developer for their hard work.
