Description

“TM Works Standings for J-League” is a responsive plugin that displays the latest standing tables and ranking transition graphs for the J-League 100 Year Plan Clubs (2026 special format).

It securely fetches the latest match points, goal differences, and history data from a dedicated JSON data source, and renders visual charts automatically at the end of your posts or via a simple shortcode.

Features

  • Latest Standings Table: Displays a responsive table including points, wins/draws/losses, and goal differences.
  • Ranking Transition Graph: Visually displays the ranking transition of each team per matchweek using Chart.js.
  • Auto-Insert: Automatically append the standings to the bottom of your posts or pages by enabling the option in the settings.
  • Shortcode Support: Use [tmworks_jleague_standings] to display the data anywhere on your site.
  • Customizable Leagues: Choose exactly which league categories to display via the admin settings.
  • High Performance: Utilizes AJAX and the WordPress Transients API to cache data for 1 hour, ensuring your site speed remains fast even with page caching plugins active.

About External API Requests

To retrieve the latest standing data, this plugin makes a GET request to a public GitHub repository managed by the author (TM Works). This ensures the standings are always up to date without requiring manual updates to the plugin.

  • Service Called: TM Works J-League Standings API (GitHub Raw Data)
  • Data Source URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TM-Works/J-League-ranking-table/refs/heads/main/standings.json
  • Account Requirement: No account, registration, or API key is required to use this service.
  • Privacy & Terms: Data is provided freely for public use. No personal data, user information, or site information is tracked, collected, or sent to the external server. This is strictly a one-way data retrieval.
  1. Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install via the WordPress Plugins menu.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Navigate to the new ‘J-League Standings’ menu in your admin dashboard.
  4. Select the leagues you wish to display and configure the auto-display settings.
  5. (Optional) Use the [jleague_standings] shortcode in any post or page.
How often is the data updated?

The plugin uses the WordPress Transients API to fetch and cache the JSON data from GitHub every 1 hour.

Can I display a specific league only?

Yes. You can select the default leagues from the admin settings, or use the shortcode attribute like [jleague_standings leagues="j1_west"] to override it on a specific post.

Can I change the graph colors?

The graph uses the team colors specified in the remote JSON data, or falls back to the beautiful default color palette built into the plugin.
