Some comparisons have more than one dimension — speed, price, comfort, all at once.
A radar chart plots each label as a spoke from the centre, and each Datasets row draws one shape across all of them.
For every Dynamic Device setting in one place, see the Advanced Charts block guide.
Before You Start
- Edition: Pro — the Advanced Charts block needs Nexter Blocks Pro.
- Block to enable: Advanced Chart, switched on under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard.
- Every value is typed, separated by a pipe (
|). Labels, one row of series data, colours — all of it is a single line of text with|between the parts, not a spreadsheet-style grid.
Steps
- Add the Advanced Charts block and choose a chart Style.
- Type your axis labels into Label Values, separated by
|.
- Type each quality you are comparing into Label Values — these become the spokes.
- Open Datasets, add a row per thing you are comparing, and type its scores into Data, one per spoke.
- Turn on Fill on a row to shade the area inside its shape.

How It Behaves
- Every row needs a value for every label — a shape with fewer points than there are spokes will look lopsided rather than error.
- Fill shades the shape using the row’s Background colour, which is where the transparency in a colour like
#8072fc55matters — the last two characters set the opacity. - Multiple rows overlay on the same spokes, which is what makes a radar chart good for comparing two or three options side by side.
- Spaces around the pipe show up in the chart. Measured:
Q1 | Q2renders the labelsQ1andQ2, trailing space included. Type your values with no space around the|for a tidy result.
Limitations
- Best with a handful of labels — too many spokes makes the shapes hard to read.
- There is no automatic scaling suggestion; very different value ranges across labels can distort the shape.
- Data is typed, not linked to a spreadsheet or external source.
Troubleshooting
My shape looks pinched on one side
Check every label has a matching value in that row’s Data field — a missing value pulls that spoke to zero.
The filled area is too solid or too faint
Adjust the opacity in the row’s Background colour — the last two hex characters, for example 55 in #8072fc55.
Two shapes are hard to tell apart
Give each Datasets row a clearly different Border Color, and switch on Legends under Style so each row is labelled.
