FAQ
-
What chart types are supported
-
This release supports bar, line, pie, and doughnut charts. More chart types will be added in future releases.
-
Does PressViz work with the block editor (Gutenberg)
-
Yes. PressViz is built specifically for the WordPress block editor. Creation, editing, and preview all happen inside the editor.
-
Will my charts break if I deactivate PressViz
-
If you deactivate the plugin, charts will not render on the front end. Your chart data is preserved in the database and will return when you reactivate. PressViz never deletes your data on deactivation.
-
Does PressViz work on WordPress Multisite
-
Yes, with per-site activation. Activate PressViz on each site where you want to use charts — do not network-activate it. Each site maintains its own chart data and settings independently.
-
Does PressViz add anything to my database
-
Yes. PressViz creates one custom table — `{prefix}pressviz_charts` — to store your chart data. It is created automatically on activation and is never modified by WordPress core or other plugins. On deactivation the table is left intact. It is only removed if you check „Remove Data on Delete“ in Settings before deleting the plugin.
