Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Chessgame Shizzle

PGN notation is a way to write the moves of a chessgame, plus some metadata, like names of the players, etc. On Wikipedia there is more general information. I added a chessgame, but when viewing I get a 404 error. Please go to Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and hit 'Save' twice. That should flush your permalinks and make it work.

You can browse to /chessgame and you will see the archive page. The template used for this is archive.php.

'[chessgame_shizzle_form]' for the upload form. '[chessgame_shizzle_simple_list]' for a simple list with pagination. '[chessgame_shizzle_game postid="536"]' to show a single game that was published in the chessgames post type. '[chessgame_shizzle_game_extended postid="536"]' to show a single game that was published in the chessgames post type. '[chessgame_shizzle_lessons]' for lessons on the frontend. In case you read this on wordpress.org, the quotes are supposed to be standard double quotes, no backticks. I only want to show games from a category or tag. You can use a shortcode parameter for showing games only from certain categories or tags: [chessgame_shizzle_simple_list category="213,212" tag="345,355"] In case you read this on wordpress.org, the quotes are supposed to be standard double quotes, no backticks.

By default this plugin uses: Nonce: Will verify if you really loaded the page with the form first, before posting a chessgame. Spambots will just submit the form without having a Nonce. Honeypot feature: Hidden input field that only spambots would fill in. Form Timeout: Check if the form has been submitted too fast. New submitted chessgames will be set as pending, waiting to be moderated. When someone adds a chessgame that is considered spam, it will not be accepted and the user will get a message on the frontend form.
