Chess Game Viewer

The Chess Game Viewer Control Panel is the easiest way to add a customizable chess board to your blog.

Installing the Chess Game Viewer is very easy and shouldn't require any template modification. Just follow these steps:

  1. Upload the folder 'chess-game-viewer' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory (or install it directly through WordPress) or install it directly from your WordPress admin's "plugin" screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
  3. Under "settings" there will be a "Chessboard" option that will take you to a page where you can customize your board. Follow the instructions on this page and then click "update" to save your changes.
  4. To add games to your blog posts or pages you can do one of two things. The easiest way is to click the "HTML" tab above the editor. You will see a "Chess Game" quick tag. Click on this button and paste your game in the box provided. Note that the game must be in PGN format. The other way to add a chess game to your blog post or page is to do it manually. All you have to do is paste your game between pgn tags like this: ###pgn### paste your game here %%%pgn%%%. Save your post or page and you are done. (Alternatively, you can use tags if that is easier to remember.)
