The [gravitycharts] Shortcode
The [gravitycharts] shortcode enables embedding a GravityCharts chart into post or page content.
How to Find Your Chart ID #
Before using the shortcode, you need to know your chart’s ID. There are two ways to find it:
Method 1: All Charts Page (Easiest)
- In your WordPress admin, go to GravityKit → All Charts
- The ID column shows each chart’s ID number
Method 2: Individual Form Settings
- Go to Forms and hover over the form containing your chart
- Click Settings → Charts
- Click on the chart you want to embed
- Look at the URL in your browser – the ID appears at the end (e.g.,
...&subview=gravitycharts&id=5means the chart ID is 5)
