About this plugin
Integration of @mliebelt/pgn-viewer into WordPress (formarly named PGNViewerJS).
Using Shortcodes
To use a shortcode, do the following steps:
- Enter on a new element /shortcode.
- Enterinside the element then the shortcode including the content of the following sections.
Basic View
[pgnv]1. [/pgnv]
This is the PgnViewer (mostly needed): allows to play through a game (including variations), printing the comments, NAGs, …
Edit Mode
[pgne]1. [/pgne]
Allows to edit and view a game. At the end, you may use the PGN button to display the notation, that then may be copied again in the WordPress post entry.
Single Position (or Board)
[pgnb fen=<a FEN string>][/pgnb]
Just to display a board (only), no moves. Leave out the pgn, if possible. If pgn is included, it will be checked and has to be correct (but not shown at the end).
Print View
[pgnp]1. e4 e5D 2. [/pgnp]
Allows to print a game in a format similar to magazines and books. For that purpose, the notation of PGN was expanded by the “D” at the end of a move, that stands for the diagram. (Caveat: “D” is currently not working, and leading to an error.

Using Block Level Element
You can use instead the following:
- Enter as block element /PGN Viewer Block Editor, in the variants View, Edit, Board or Print.
- You will then have a form with all options that are possible with the shortcode as well.
- Depending on the kind of element you want to have, different values are needed:
- View: all possible
- Edit: same as view
- Board: only FEN and layout elements of the board
- Print: most not needed.
