All the best, Joni. — This WordPress plugin adds a responsive and accessible data chart block to the post editor. The chart feeds off of data from a publicly viewable Google sheet. ## Screenshots * [[ * Chart block in the post editor. * [[ * Example screenshot of the chart block displaying a vertical bar chart on the front-end. * [[ * Example screenshot of the chart block displaying a horizontal bar chart on the front-end. ## Installation 1. In the WordPress admin, install and enable the « Besan Block » plugin. 2. Enter your Google Sheets API key on the plugin’s settings page. 3. Edit any page or post and add the « Chart » editor block. 4.
