Google Chart and WordPress 4.7.4

  • For the past couple of years, I have been embedding interactive charts from a Google Sheet into my WordPress site. Most of these charts are too wide for the page, so I have been using the scroll option (scrolling=”yes”) in the Google chart Publish function – this allows viewers to scroll up or down to see different parts of the chart. You simply cut and paste the Publish html code into your page, and voila. Worked great and does not require the use of WP plugins.

    The most recent release of WordPress does not seem to support the scrolling function in the pasted html code. As a result only part of the chart can be seen. Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?

  • Have you tried to use this plugin instead?

    Yes, but those plugins all require more work than the native Google publish function. The question is: why does the scrolling function no longer work?

    Noticed that, when publishing a Google Chart prepared in a Google Sheet, if I replace the ‘interactive’ option in Publish with ‘image’, then scrolling does work. That’s not optimal, as the interactive option allows the viewer to the values for a particular column in the bar chart, but better than no scrolling.
