Chart Shortcode
Each chart has an auto-generated shortcode shown at the bottom of the chart settings panel. The shortcode intelligently selects the best display format based on context.
Default Behavior
[chart id="123"]
By default, the shortcode renders an interactive JavaScript chart. On RSS feeds and AMP pages, it automatically serves a static image instead.
Display Options
show
Controls the output format explicitly.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
default | JavaScript chart (default); falls back to image in RSS/AMP |
image | Always renders a static image |
table | Renders the chart data as an HTML table (available since v1.5) |
Example — force image output:
[chart id="123" show="image"]
Example — render as a data table:
[chart id="123" show="table"]
share
Displays an embed code box below the chart, allowing visitors to copy the shortcode and embed the chart on their own WordPress site. Requires iFrame Embedding to be enabled in Chart → Settings.
There are two ways to show the share box:
As a parameter on the main shortcode:
[chart id="123" share="show"]
As a standalone shortcode (useful when you want the share box separately from the chart):
[chart-share id="123"]
Available since version 1.6.
width
Overrides the chart's default width.
[chart id="123" width="600"]
