Installation

Install the plugin as normal, and activate it. Then when you make a post or page, click the crossword icon in the visual editor
to insert a puzzle (in WordPress 5 and higher, insert a crossword block). You can chose either to import a html and js file exported by Crossword Compiler (version 9+), or import the
puzzle from a page that already exists on crossword.info.

By default the applet files are served from a web service. To put the applet files on your server use the version of the
plugin from https://www.crossword-compiler.com/wordpress.html.
Subsequent automatic updates will continue to use the latest version of the applet files after you have used this once.

FAQ

How do I make the puzzles?

You need to use the Crossword Compiler program, available from https://www.crossword-compiler.com. It includes a licence to use
exported puzzles on one web site.

Reviews

Has worked for years and we get good support

KNBDunlop September 16, 2021

We have this on our site and have used it for 5+ years. It has worked consistently within our Posts in the magazine and readers value the Save funtion because they can do the crossword in multiple sessions. When we email for support we have always received courteous and helpful responses and the issues have been resolved. These comments remain true, even though our Wordpress version 5.8.1 has not officially been tested with Crossword Compiler.

Admin is poor

There is no real admin the addon. While we love the software and use it for our little newspaper we HATE the fact that they want to charge you $1000 to remove the link to their website.
