The [gravitycharts] Shortcode

The [gravitycharts] shortcode enables embedding a GravityCharts chart into post or page content.

How to Find Your Chart ID

Before using the shortcode, you need to know your chart's ID. There are two ways to find it:

Method 1: All Charts Page (Easiest)

  1. In your WordPress admin, go to GravityKit → All Charts
  2. The ID column shows each chart's ID number

Method 2: Individual Form Settings

  1. Go to Forms and hover over the form containing your chart
  2. Click Settings → Charts
  3. Click on the chart you want to embed
  4. Look at the URL in your browser - the ID appears at the end (e.g., ...&subview=gravitycharts&id=5 means the chart ID is 5)

Shortcode Parameters

The following parameters are available:

Name Description Required?
id The ID number of the chart (see above for how to find it) Required
height Define a maximum height (CSS max-height property) for the chart in pixels Optional
width Define a maximum width (CSS max-width property) for the chart in pixels Optional
embed_type To embed a static image instead of an interactive chart, set this to "image". Learn more: Image Charts Optional
entry To chart data from a single entry only, specify the entry ID Optional

Examples

Basic chart embed:

[gravitycharts id="5"]

[gravitycharts id="5" width="400"]

[gravitycharts id="5" width="400" embed_type="image"]

Troubleshooting

Chart not appearing? Double-check that:

  • The chart ID is correct (verify in GravityKit → All Charts)
  • The chart is saved and configured properly with a data source
  • You're using the shortcode on a published post or page
