It would be nice if the pgn4web embed-chessboard plugin would be developed further. It’s only possible to do some basic configuration with this plugin via the WordPress configuration page. Is there some interest ?
]]>A bug in the Twenty Twenty Two theme shipping with www.ads-software.com 5.9 affects the proper behaviour of the embed-chessboard plugin, resulting in corrupted PGN data and errors in the chessboards.
If you upgrade to www.ads-software.com please refrain from using the Twenty Twenty Two theme or any other block based theme.
I’ll update this ticket when the www.ads-software.com issue has been resolved; this is not expected before the 5.9.1 release. Alternatively you can monitor progress of these bug reports: www.ads-software.com bug #54614

Hi,
I am having issues reading .PGN files, I see this error message:
Unexpected end of text: there is a pending game.
Link to the game pgn:
https://pastebin.com/bxdb3NBF
Do you have any clue how to fix this?
]]>Here’s what I’m trying to do… a blog like chess.com’s blog (where you can play through a few moves, make commentary, and then pick the game up where you left off).. however, I’m doing it on wordpress.com because I WANT to own it, where as my understanding is that on chess.com, they own it and you can’t monetize it.
So, how can I have a PGN.. have like 8 moves and then comment between moves without someone having to have ONE board on top that they have to keep going up and down on….
Is it [initialhalfmove=comment]blah blah blah[/initialhalfmove]? Or is there a way?
Is there a way to have a board below my comment then pick up where I left off?
I have coached the team where my two boys have gone to school for 3 years. They went from 89th in Illinois the year before I got there to 32nd, 21st and then 11th this year… A month ago, my older son.. who played a top 8 board for the team (only 8 players count in Illinois) was killed in a car accident. And it is very therapeutic for me to do this.
I also want to do it via blog because yes, I’d like to go to a bigger audience eventually, and because I guess I want to prove that I can do it.
I appreciate your help..
]]>Please help me..
I have no tech background at all. I’ve amazingly gotten some sort of chess board embedded into my new blog. but:
1) on desktop only the top half of the board appears. Why?
2) What do all of these mean:
layout=horizontal|vertical
height=auto|number
showMoves=figurine|text|puzzle|hidden
initialGame=first|last|random|number
initialVariation=number
initialHalfmove=start|end|random|comment|number
autoplayMode=game|loop|none
Are any of these a way to embed a specific position and allow the player to play it out with arrows, without seeing the whole game?
Is there a way to have just a board set up to a position where it doesn’t autoplay.
Please pardon me… I freely admit I don’t know a damn thing. I’m a pretty strong chess player though and I’d like to get a good learning source to the high school kids I teach.

I know there was a declined request 2 years ago, but it’s not that hard to implement it, although you are using an (ugly) table design. Nevertheless here is my approach to simulate “floating”; would be nice to see it in an adapted way in the next patch ??
Just try it with these changes:

]]>Hi,
I am very happy to use Embed Chessboard with WordPress. As far as I can see there is no real alternative among the available plugins.
However, there is one problem. The .js files of the plugin can’t be treated by optimization plugins and cause therefore blocking resources that have a huge impact on the pageload time if you use several boards in one post. I am far from being an expert in these things. As far as I understand it, the wp_enqueue_script is missing. You will know what I am trying to express as a technical dilettante. ??
My question. Is there a chance to change this somehow in order to improve the performance of the posts where the plugin is used?
Kind Regards

I have problem with showing FEN tag. I write this structure is it true?[pgn ]
[FEN “rn2r1k1/ppq2pb1/2pp2pp/8/2PQn1b1/1PN2NP1/PB3PBP/3RR1K1 w – – 0 17”]

It shows me the chess board correctly but in the bottom of chessboard it takes large space.
HI there
I install your plugin, but I have one question. How can I set url instead of giving pgn detail that is needed, because I have all parameters in an png file and I need to use it.
Hi There –
I am new to this the “Embed Chessboard” plugin but I think it will be great once we get it working!
As a test, I posted it on a site I’m working here: https://www.laurengoodkindchess.com/chess-game-test/
And it does not show the text along with the board and will not start the game. When you click on the top left box it says the following error:

I am using the premium responsive theme Mist for the template.
Can this be fixed? If so – please help?
Also when it’s fixed – can it be played on a mobile phone or tablet?
Thank you!

I found your post explaining how to use your plugin in a phpbb2 forum, do you have any instructions for a phpbb forum like bbPress?

Hi!
I was wondering if there is a way to change the “…” in the dropdown menu to “Selecte game to view” or something like that. The “…” isn’t always that easy to understand for some of our readers. Is it a way?
PS! Thanks for a great plugin!

]]>hi, Paolo,
When I try to use the null move on my wordpress web site, the game won’t continue the line, it just stops and gives me an error.
Also I’d like to start a position with only a zugzwang glyph and it seems impossible. But I can start a game with a “with the idea” glyph.
Here’s an example: https://www.squarology.com/?page_id=729
I’m curious if there are workarounds or if I should just use text and avoid using null moves. Thank you once again for this great program.

Hi
I have tried to make a new game shown on my front page where there is one game already. The second stops and Rook is blinking.
Now I tried to make it on an other page but the game still stops:

Is it possible to display the notation coordinates on the edges of the board? Like this one: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/rpb-chessboard/screenshots/
We have a lot of beginner chess players and the coordinates will help them a lot to follow the games.
Thanks,

Does Embed CB plugin support broadcasting?

By the way, an excellent and very comprehensive plugin!
