Easy Chart Categories

This is a WordPress plugin that provides a WordPress shortcode that will display your categories in a chart and another shortcode that will display your tags. This plugin requires that the Easy Chart Builder plugin by dyerware is installed and activated. See what it looks like on my blog.

This plugin is also available in my Github repository.

Usage

Show top 12 most popular categories in a pie chart:

[easychart_categories]

Show top 12 most popular tags in a pie chart:

[easychart_tags]

Show the first five categories, sorted by name, without counts, using custom colors, and with a summary data table of counts:

[easychart_categories showcounts="false" groupcolors="556270, 4ECDC4, C7F464, FF6B6B, C44D58" number="5"
    orderby="name" order="ASC" hidechartdata="false"]
