@p_ebox, this was super helpful thank you so much for the well written step-by-step. It really goes a long way for helping people like myself who are enthusiastic n00bs trying to utilize D3.JS in a practical CMS like wordpress.

I can confirm that if you follow this step-by-step it will work. It also demystifies some of the nuance I had been struggling with for literally months (how to link data, apply custom JS & CSS at the post level, what do I select besides “body,” cuz that don’t work… etc) I suspect the link-file aspect will work for people looking to implement additional JS dependencies for their viz.

WASP is great for debugging those issues (did that file load? if not, why?), and I can confirm everything I expected to see loaded through this plugin did everything I expected it to.

To others: I found an annoying CSS conflict that I thankfully debugged: If you run the plugin WP Post Styling and it’s enabled for a post with D3, it will override the D3’s CSS file and cause you massive headaches. Solution: Just tick “disabled for this post” in WP Styler.

To The Developer: Thanks so much for the great plugin. Consider using a variation of @p_ebox step-by-step in your documentation — the bone-dry explanation has left people of varying degrees of technical expertise confused.
