<p>PressViz is a WordPress chart plugin for people who want to publish clear, responsive charts without leaving the block editor.</p>
<p>Most chart tools make you jump between dashboards, embeds, shortcodes, spreadsheets, and third-party services. PressViz keeps the chart workflow inside WordPress: add the PressViz block, enter data manually or upload a CSV, choose a chart type, style it in the sidebar, and publish.</p>

<h3>Why WordPress Charts Still Feel Hard</h3>
<p>A chart should help a reader understand the story faster. Too often, the workflow gets in the way.</p>
<ul>
<li>You leave WordPress to build the chart in another tool</li>
<li>You paste shortcodes or embeds instead of editing in the post</li>
<li>Chart data and table data live in separate plugins</li>
<li>Hosted charts depend on external services, accounts, or scripts</li>
<li>Canvas-only charts can be hard for screen readers, search engines, and AI crawlers to understand</li>
<li>Editors inherit charts they are afraid to update later</li>
</ul>
<p>PressViz is built for a cleaner workflow: chart creation, data editing, visual styling, and front-end rendering all stay connected to the WordPress post.</p>
<h3>What You Can Build With PressViz</h3>
<p>📊 <strong>Charts inside the block editor</strong><br />
Create charts directly in Gutenberg with a native block, guided starter flow, live preview, and sidebar controls.</p>
<p>📁 <strong>CSV import and manual data entry</strong><br />
Start from a CSV file, paste numbers into the editable grid, or type values by hand. PressViz is useful for quick editorial charts, reports, comparisons, and data snapshots.</p>
<p>📈 <strong>Multiple chart types</strong><br />
Publish bar, line, area, pie, doughnut, scatter, radar, gauge, and funnel charts from one WordPress chart block.</p>
<p>🧾 <strong>Chart data that remains part of your site</strong><br />
PressViz stores chart data in your WordPress database using a custom table. You do not need an external chart service, CDN-hosted chart script, or third-party dashboard just to publish one useful chart.</p>
<p>🎨 <strong>No-code styling controls</strong><br />
Adjust chart type, title, subtitle, colors, legend, labels, spacing, animation, and responsive behavior without writing code.</p>
<p>📤 <strong>Front-end export buttons</strong><br />
Let readers download a chart as a PNG image or export the underlying data as CSV.</p>
<h3>Built for SEO, Accessibility, and AI Crawlers</h3>
<p>A chart should not become a blank visual shell once it reaches search engines, screen readers, or AI crawlers.</p>
<p>PressViz is designed to make chart output more understandable beyond the canvas. It includes accessible output, screen-reader-friendly data, and structured dataset markup so the chart can carry meaning as content, not just decoration.</p>
<p>That matters for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Search engines trying to understand the data behind a chart</li>
<li>AI crawlers and answer engines reading page context</li>
<li>Screen reader users who need the data behind the visual</li>
<li>Publishers who want charts to remain useful, portable, and understandable over time</li>
</ul>

<h3>Why PressViz Is Different</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Block editor native:</strong> PressViz is built around the modern WordPress editor, not bolted onto it through old shortcode-era workflows.</li>
<li><strong>No external chart dashboard:</strong> Create, edit, preview, and update charts where you already write.</li>
<li><strong>Local rendering, no CDN dependency:</strong> ECharts is bundled locally, so your charts do not depend on loading a chart library from a third-party CDN.</li>
<li><strong>Accessible chart output:</strong> PressViz includes chart descriptions, semantic output, and screen-reader-friendly data table support.</li>
<li><strong>SEO-friendly chart metadata:</strong> Structured Dataset markup helps make charts more understandable to search engines and AI systems.</li>
<li><strong>Editor-friendly handoff:</strong> Agencies, freelancers, and site builders can hand clients a chart workflow they can keep using after launch.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Who PressViz Is For</h3>
<p>PressViz is useful for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Publishers and editorial teams explaining data inside articles</li>
<li>Marketers sharing campaign reports, performance summaries, and comparison charts</li>

<li>Bloggers and creators who want a simple chart block without a separate dashboard</li>
<li>Nonprofits, educators, and business teams publishing data snapshots or public reports</li>

<p>A WP site has posts, custom posts, users and taxonomy terms. The Connectome shows them all in a single interactive visualization as nodes and links of a graph. Also, we calculate some importance measure for these nodes and display it in the nodes sizes. The Connectome, then, should provide insight about the structure of your site and a different navigation, mostly interesting for the site admin but perhaps also, after some configurations, good to show to your visitors.</p>
<p>I think The Connectome could be useful to novice WP site creators because it will help you learn all the essential elements in your site and how they connect to each other.</p>
<p>The “importance measure” for the nodes is the <code>degree centrality</code>, that is, how many links touch the node.</p>
<p>This is the first release of my first plugin so I’m very exited and scared, but also quite open to suggestions, requests or criticism. I would be especially happy if more experienced developers inspected my code and gave me their opinions.</p>
<h3>Live demo</h3>
<p>It’s for a small site, but anyways</p>
<p><a href="https://dantecubantours.com/graph/" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Connectome Demo</a></p>
<h3>Road map</h3>
<p>I have a long list of improvements to include in future releases, among them:</p>
<ul>
<li>Responsiveness and more flexible behavior for the visualization</li>
<li>Search functionality to find nodes in the graph</li>
<li>Having several graphs with different configurations to show in different parts of your site</li>
<li>Tell the admin about problematic nodes like posts without featured image or excerpt text, taxonomy terms without description, etc.</li>
<li>More interesting importance measures like the eigenvalue or the betweeness centralities, perhaps allowing the user to pick which one to use</li>
<li>Multilingual support, right now it’s only English. Besides making it translation ready, this will also imply to make the plugin compatible with multilingual plugins like Polylang or WPML</li>
</ul>
<p>If you think one of them is more urgent thant others, you can also tell me.</p>
<h3>Performance</h3>
<p>The good news is that, once the graph is created, it’s stored on the DB and and used until you save the options again in the options page. However, to build the graph we first include all the elements (but those manually disabled) and then connect them to calculate the centrality and evaluate which are the most important. Only then we reduce the elements, using the centrality as the metrics. That means a very big site (with many users, posts and terms) will require a lot of resources and time to create the graph, even if it ends up having few elements. Only when the elements are manually disabled they don’t participate on the graph creation. Probably if you have a very big site you would have a server with ample resources, but if you don’t, then probably is not a good idea to use The Connectome until the implementation changes.</p>
