It is very easy to do by going to the <strong>WordPress plugin repository<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To do that, open WordPress and go to <strong>Add New<\/strong> under <strong>Plugins<\/strong>. Here you can search for wpDataTables. Then follow the instructions on the screen and finish the installation and activation.<\/p>\n<h3>Importing Data<\/h3>\n<p>Once installed, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/documentation\/creating-new-wpdatatables-with-table-constructor\/importing-data-to-editable-mysql-table-from-excel-or-csv-with-table-constructor\/\">import your data<\/a> into wpDataTables from <strong>various sources<\/strong>. Some of the choices for data import are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CSV<\/li>\n<li>Excel<\/li>\n<li>Google Sheets<\/li>\n<li>JSON<\/li>\n<li>MySQL queries<\/li>\n<li>Serialized PHP Array<\/li>\n<li>XML<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You also still have the option of entering your data by hand into wpDataTables or linking the plugin to a live data source.<\/p>\n<p>This feature is very useful because you can make tables that update automatically each time you load your page. You can also <strong>generate a custom query<\/strong> with the Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Create a New Table From the Data<\/h3>\n<p>You can create a new table by going to wpDataTable and clicking <strong>Create a <\/strong><strong>t<\/strong><strong>able<\/strong>. There you will see the option <strong>Create a table linked to an existing data source<\/strong>. Click that option and then click <strong>Next<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>On the next screen, you will see different options for how you want to import your data. You don\u2019t need to select any of them, but some of them might be handy.<\/p>\n<p>Under <strong>Display<\/strong>, you can select the <strong>Responsive Collapsing<\/strong> option, which is very useful on devices with smaller screens. You can edit scrollbars, limit table width, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Editing<\/strong> tab gives you more options for front-end editing. This includes printing, copying, and exporting quick links. The good thing is that you can <strong>preview your changes in real<\/strong> <strong>time<\/strong>. Each time you make a change, you need to click <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Save<\/strong><\/span> or <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Apply<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<h3>Using Large Data Sets? No Problemo. We Have Server-Side Processing<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re dealing with <em>massive data sets<\/em> and creating gigantic tables with loads of pages, wpDataTables is the WordPress plugin you need.<\/p>\n<p>wpDataTables is a <strong>powerful<\/strong> and <strong>flexible<\/strong> plugin that can handle <em>tons<\/em> of data with ease. Seriously, I&#8217;m talking about thousands or even millions of rows!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tired of waiting for your massive tables to load?<\/li>\n<li>Fed up with sluggish sorting and filtering?<\/li>\n<li>Worried about your pages crashing due to heavy data?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>No more!<\/strong> wpDataTables has got your back. It&#8217;s built with a <em>fantastic<\/em> feature called &#8220;Server-side processing.&#8221; This bad boy takes all the heavy lifting off your plate and delegates it to the MySQL server. What does that mean for you? It means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Faster<\/em> page loading<\/li>\n<li><em>Smarter<\/em> filtering and sorting<\/li>\n<li><em>No more<\/em> crashing due to large data sets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Curious how it&#8217;s done? Check out this video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"How to work with very large tables in WordPress with wpDataTables 2.0\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8q1U-VN72eg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now, I know what you&#8217;re thinking: &#8220;Sounds too good to be true, right?&#8221; But let me tell you, it&#8217;s as real as it gets.<\/p>\n<p>This feature is <em>tailor-made<\/em> for people like you who handle <strong>large data sets<\/strong> and want a smooth experience.<\/p>\n<h3>Choosing the Right Data Visualization<\/h3>\n<p>With your data imported, you can start thinking about data visualization. To do that, open the <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Chart Creation Wizard<\/strong><\/span>. You find the wizard after you open wpDataTables under <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Create a Chart<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>First, you have to give your chart a name to find it again later. Then choose one of the four chart rendering engines:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/documentation\/wpdatacharts\/chartjs\/\">Chart.js<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/documentation\/wpdatacharts\/google-charts\/\">Google Charts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/documentation\/wpdatacharts\/highcharts\/\">Highcharts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/documentation\/wpdatacharts\/apexcharts\/\">ApexCharts<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Choosing the right data visualization is very important. Different categories of charts are more suited for different types of data.<\/p>\n<p>First, think of the point you want to make with your data. That message must be clear and prominent. Five questions can help you determine what you want to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If there are different data sets, what is the relation between them?<\/li>\n<li>Is there a need to highlight data distribution and identify outliers?<\/li>\n<li>Do you want to compare values? If so, do you want to compare different data points, or do you want to follow one point over time?<\/li>\n<li>Are there interesting trends within the data set?<\/li>\n<li>Is the data visualization step a part of the data analysis?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you know the answer to those questions, you are ready to pick the right kind of chart for your project.<\/p>\n<p>After editing your graph or chart you can click through to the next screen and <strong>copy the shortcode<\/strong> for the data visualization.<\/p>\n<p>Now you are ready to paste the shortcode into the content of your website. Save it and check the front end to see what it looks like.<\/p>\n<p>Inside wpDataTables there is a very special option. It allows you to <strong>keep your tables, even if you delete the plugin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever choose to delete the plugin, you will still find your tables in the database.<\/p>\n<h3>Create a Chart From a Table<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"How to make charts in WordPress dynamic with wpDataTables 3.x\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/suXgdhCisAI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get a little deeper into creating data visualization with wpDataTables. The plugin lets you make some impressive and interactive graphs and charts from any kind of data source. You can use Excel files, CSV, MySQL, JSON, and more.<\/p>\n<p>When your table is ready for processing, select <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Charts<\/strong><\/span> and then click on <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Add New<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Give the project a title and choose the rendering machine as described above. You can choose from Google Charts, Chart.js, or others. Each rendering engine has its characteristics, each with its pros and cons. You can play around and see which one is best for your project.<\/p>\n<p>Also, <strong>each rendering engine will give you different categories of charts<\/strong>, such as bar, column, area, and line. There is a drop-down menu at the top where you can select the kind of data visualization you want.<\/p>\n<h3>Formatting and Previewing<\/h3>\n<p>Now, the plugin will allow you to format your chart or graph the way you want to. You can see your changes right away in a panel on the right-hand side of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>You will notice that there are several formatting categories for each chart or graph element. The first set of options allows you to adjust the following things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Background colors<\/li>\n<li>Border color<\/li>\n<li>Border radius<\/li>\n<li>Border width<\/li>\n<li>Chart height<\/li>\n<li>Chart width<\/li>\n<li>Group chart<\/li>\n<li>Responsive width<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another formatting category is <strong>Series<\/strong>, where you can customize the data series. Under <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Axes<\/strong><\/span>, you will find all options related to the layout of the graph\u2019s axes. You can customize the X and Y axes independent of each other.<\/p>\n<p>The next category is <strong>Exporting<\/strong>. You can allow your website visitors to download your data visualization tools in different formats:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CSV<\/li>\n<li>JPG<\/li>\n<li>PDF<\/li>\n<li>PNG<\/li>\n<li>SVG<\/li>\n<li>XLS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <strong>Toolbar<\/strong> category is only available for ApexCharts. This option lets you allow users to download the visualizing data in CSV, PNG, and SVG vector image formats.<\/p>\n<p>When you are happy with the way your chart or graph looks, you can save it by clicking the <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Save Chart<\/strong><\/span> button. wpDataTables will save it in the WordPress database. At this point, it will also generate the shortcode for you.<\/p>\n<h3>Publish the Chart on Your Website or Blog Post<\/h3>\n<p>Older versions use the Classic WordPress editor. But you can also use it if you are working with WordPress 5+. For that, you\u2019d need to download and install the Classic Editor Plugin.<\/p>\n<p>In the Classic editor, you can paste the shortcode that wpDataTable generated for your chart. An example of a shortcode could be:<\/p>\n<pre>[ wpdatatable id=22 ]<\/pre>\n<p>To paste the code in the right way, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to <strong>Posts<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Add New <\/strong><b>or<\/b><strong> Pages<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Add New<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Paste the shortcode<\/strong> into the content in the editor<\/li>\n<li><strong>Update or publish<\/strong> your page or blog post<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Another way to publish your table is by using the wpDataTables button in the editor. Click the button to select the chart you want to use and click <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Insert<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The Gutenberg Editor is another tool for managing your content. In fact, it allows you more options for your chart. You can choose which table you want and how to display it, and you can define variable placeholders and export file names.<\/p>\n<p>There is an integration for wpDataTables in Divi Page Builder. With this page builder, you can insert charts and tables straight into the Divi user interface.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_on_Visualizing_Large_Data_Sets_With_wpDataTables\"><\/span>FAQ on Visualizing Large Data Sets With wpDataTables<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"what-is-wpdatatables-\">What is wpDataTables?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>wpDataTables<\/strong>\u00a0is a powerful\u00a0<strong>WordPress plugin<\/strong>\u00a0designed for creating and managing\u00a0<strong>data tables<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>charts<\/strong>.
