- Web-Engine Graph for WordPress

Overview

Web-Engine Graph draws your site's content as a graph. Each record is a node, and the lines between them are the connections WordPress already holds: posts, pages and custom post types; categories, tags and other public taxonomies; users and their roles; navigation menus and their items; and the parent and child links between hierarchical pages.

The graph opens on a new admin page, Graph, and is built from your own database each time the page is opened. There is nothing to configure before you see it, and the plugin adds nothing to your site's public pages.

Explore it your way

• Filters. A stack of filters decides what is on screen. Each filter adds one record type and can include or exclude the records you pick. Turn on Related and a filter shows only the records that connect to the rest of the graph, such as the users who wrote a chosen set of posts.
• Six layouts. Arrange the same records as Manual (you place everything), Series (one type along a line in date or alphabetical order), Tree (parents above their children), Grouped (one cluster per type), Hubs (each record at the centre of its connections) or Columns (one column per filter, sorted to shorten the lines).

Who can use it

The Graph page is open to Editors and Administrators, that is any user who can edit other people's posts. Connecting the site to the cloud needs an Administrator. On multisite, each site in a network has its own graph and its own connection.

Save and come back

You can explore, filter and arrange the graph without an account. To save a graph and reopen it later, an Administrator connects the site to a Web-Engine cloud account. Connecting is optional and registration is free. Saved graphs belong to the site rather than to one WordPress user, and each graph keeps a history of its saves.

Privacy first

Nothing is sent anywhere until an Administrator connects the site. After that, the plugin contacts the cloud only to save, list or reopen graphs, to open My account, and to say goodbye when it is deleted. A save never contains post content, email addresses or passwords.

The plugin adds no analytics or tracking and loads no scripts, fonts or images from other servers: all of its JavaScript is bundled with the plugin.

Get started

1. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New Plugin and search for "Web-Engine Graph", or upload the plugin's zip file from that screen.
2. Click Install Now, then Activate.
3. Open Graph in the admin menu. Your site's graph is drawn straight away.
4. Optional, to save graphs: as an Administrator, click Register on the Graph page, sign in or register in the tab that opens, and approve the connection. A Save button then appears on the Graph page.
