The ChessPairings WordPress plugin is online

From today you can display your tournaments (standings, pairings, participants, calendar) directly on your WordPress site, in native HTML that inherits the style of your theme — no iframes, no screenshots. The plugin is free and official.


  1. Plugin page: https://wordpress.org/plugins/chesspairings
  2. All info and examples: https://wpchess.com/


How to use it, in 4 steps:


1. From the WordPress dashboard → Plugins → Add new, search for "ChessPairings" and install/activate (or download it from https://wordpress.org/plugins/chesspairings).

2. Generate your API key from your profile: https://my.chesspairings.org/profilo.php?tab=api → "Generate" and copy it (you can see it only once!).

3. In WordPress go to Settings → ChessPairings, paste the key and click Verify connection.

4. Insert a shortcode in a page or post, e.g. [chesspairings_torneo id="123"] (full tournament page with tabs).

Other useful ones: [chesspairings_classifica id="N"], [chesspairings_abbinamenti id="N"], [chesspairings_iscritti id="N"], [chesspairings_tornei] (card list) — and the _teams versions (e.g.
[chesspairings_torneo_squadre id="N"]) for team tournaments. Everything is also available as a Gutenberg block.
