Yes this is basically a current limitation. Having non numeric strings show up properly in Chart.js requires some extra work.

The next version of M Chart (still working on it) includes some changes to try and deal with this.

I’m not sure if it’ll solve the issue you’re having in particular but it might. I’d need to see your chart data and setup to know for sure.

What I’d suggest in the meantime is to label the axis as being a percentage so the viewer knows that the value is a percent.

We spent some time investigating this via email. It appears to be somewhat specific to this user’s system. I was unable to duplicate the problem on my end and haven’t heard back from them for awhile.

Will update this again if I do and/or we figure out what was going on.

There’s a few ways to do this that don’t actually require any changes to the plugin.

Basically you just need to change it before it gets created in WP.

Something like this added to your functions.php file should work:

<?php

add_filter( 'm-chart_post_type_args', 'm_chart_post_type_args' );

function m_chart_post_type_args( $args ) {
    $args['rewrite']['slug'] = 'your-new-slug-here';
   
    return $args;
}

Taking a look at this and the CSV import/export issues today. I’ll let you know how that goes.

Inheriting the Category taxonomy from the Post type was intentional and not something I will be changing.

However, unregistering that Taxonomy and adding your own from the functions.php file of your theme should be relatively straightforward.

There’s nothing happening in how the plugin handles both items that isn’t pure WP.

If you’re comfortable playing with WP hooks yes.

This is the one you’d want:

It lets you play with everything the charting library will receive RIGHT before it gets printed out to the Javascript.

Note that it’s in the form of a PHP Array which then get’s written out as a JSON object for the JS charting library to use.
