Add one chart block, enter or import your data, choose a layout, adjust the appearance in the sidebar, and publish a responsive visualization without using shortcodes or a separate chart dashboard.<\/p>\n\n<p>The free version is a complete production-ready chart block for editorial content, landing pages, reports, comparisons, educational pages, survey results, KPI sections, and data-driven articles. It focuses on three useful chart families, live editing, flexible imports, visitor-friendly controls, and clean integration with Gutenberg.<\/p>\n\n<h4>What you can build with the free version<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Straight column charts<\/strong> for classic category comparisons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stacked column charts<\/strong> for totals, composition, and percentage-style comparisons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pie and donut charts<\/strong> for simple shares of a whole.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2D and 3D views<\/strong> where supported by the selected chart layout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Interactive front-end charts<\/strong> with optional legend, sorting, data table modal, and PNG export.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Responsive chart sections<\/strong> that can be adjusted for desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Designed for the block editor<\/h4>\n\n<p>Everything important happens inside the block sidebar. You can edit rows, import data, switch layouts, change palettes, adjust labels, configure captions, and preview the result while you work.<\/p>\n\n<p>There is no shortcode workflow and no separate proprietary chart database. Chart settings and chart data are stored as normal block attributes inside the post content.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Free version features<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Three chart layouts:<\/strong> straight columns, stacked columns, and pie\/donut charts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Five built-in color palettes:<\/strong> Vivid, Pastel, Accessible, Material, and Corporate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Per-row color overrides<\/strong> using hex color values.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Live editor preview<\/strong> while editing data, labels, appearance, captions, and chart settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manual row editor<\/strong> for adding, editing, duplicating, reordering, and deleting chart rows.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flexible data input:<\/strong> enter rows manually, paste from a spreadsheet, or import JSON, CSV, XLSX, or XLS files.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chart data export<\/strong> as CSV or JSON.<\/li>\n<li>Optional <strong>front-end controls<\/strong> such as legend, sorting, data table modal, fullscreen view, and PNG download where enabled and supported.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lazy loading<\/strong> for 3D scenes when charts scroll into view.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Built-in translations<\/strong> for English, German, French, and Spanish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessibility-minded output<\/strong> with labelled chart regions, semantic data tables, keyboard-friendly dialogs, accessible toolbar labels, and live regions for loading and tooltip states.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Bring your own data<\/h4>\n\n<p>Start with a few manual rows, paste values from Excel or Google Sheets, or import a prepared file. The importer accepts familiar column names and turns your data into chart rows automatically.<\/p>\n\n<p>For most charts, the most useful columns are:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><code>value<\/code> \u2014 the number that drives the chart.<\/li>\n<li><code>headline<\/code> \u2014 the main label, such as a product, country, month, or category.<\/li>\n<li><code>unit<\/code> \u2014 an optional unit such as <code>%<\/code>, <code>\u20ac<\/code>, <code>kWh<\/code>, or <code>items<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li><code>paragraph<\/code> \u2014 optional tooltip text.<\/li>\n<li><code>smallPrint<\/code> \u2014 an optional source note or footnote.<\/li>\n<li><code>color<\/code> \u2014 an optional custom row color such as <code>#ff8800<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li><code>groupKey<\/code> \u2014 useful for stacked chart groups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>A simple CSV can look like this:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>value;unit;headline;paragraph;smallPrint\n42;%;North;Sales region Q1;Report 2024\n31;%;South;Sales region Q1;Report 2024\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>Tip: create one chart manually, then export it as CSV from the block settings. The exported file gives you a practical template for your own spreadsheet.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Built for visual storytelling<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Pop3D Charts<\/strong> is made for charts that feel like part of the page instead of external reports embedded into it. It works especially well for:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>editorial data stories<\/li>\n<li>annual reports<\/li>\n<li>landing page sections<\/li>\n<li>product and feature comparisons<\/li>\n<li>survey results<\/li>\n<li>educational content<\/li>\n<li>simple KPI and performance summaries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Pro version<\/h4>\n\n<p>A Pro add-on is sold separately outside the WordPress.org directory. The free plugin remains fully usable on its own; Pro extends the same chart block when both plugins are installed and active.<\/p>\n\n<p>Pro adds the expanded toolkit: additional chart layouts, extended palettes, a custom palette builder, more layout-specific styling options, and the full pattern library.<\/p>\n\n<p>In simple terms: the free plugin includes three core layouts and five palettes. Pro adds seven more layouts, the full palette set, custom palette building, advanced styling options, and ready-made chart patterns.<\/p>\n\n<p>Learn more about Pro: https:\/\/clausernst.com\/en\/pop3d-charts-wordpress-plugin\/<\/p>\n\n<p>For free plugin support, please use the <strong>Support<\/strong> tab on this plugin page.
