I appreciate your assistance resolving my previous issue of assigning employees to managers. I have gone through and assigned all employees to managers and the create the org chart.
The org chart that is generated needs improvement in order for me to use it on our intranet. Our org chart has about 40 employees. The employees are crammed together which makes it look incomprehensible. Also the top level vice presidents don't connect up to our president Paul Clyde. See this image for what my org chart looks like.
Will the plugin allow me to create and show a full org chart?

Please add a “exec” value to the departments taxonomy and display them like this:
[employee_orgchart filter="tax::departments::is::exec;"]You can use Visual Shortcode Builder to create your shortcodes:

In terms of the new library, we are still testing a couple but this one is very promising:http://fperucic.github.io/treant-js/
The new library will not be included in the pro version since we do not want to change the design significantly. It will be included in the Enterprise edition which will support more complex and large org charts. It will be released soon.
We have also fixed most of the issues with the latest version. Please see demo. It has larger, multi level org chart. I will close this ticket since it is getting longer and harder to track info. If you still have issues or questions, please open a new ticket.
It looks like we’re going to dump Google for a better library supporting vertical charts and more.
1- I was able to reproduce this one. I hope it’s not a Google thing. We’re using google’s visualization api( https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/orgchart ). We have customers with 500+ employees using this plugin. Nobody has reported this issue yet. I’m glad you did. We will look into this and get back to you.
2- This could be a CSS issue and fixable. Anytime text or image is involved it’s a CSS issue.
3- You could create a shortcode displaying “exec” tag. So tag the exec team without removing them from the department they belong to. Click the WPAS button on any page start up Visual shortcode Builder: (https://employee-directory.emdplugins.com/tips/)
4- This could be a CSS issue and fixable. Anytime text or image is involved it’s a CSS issue.
5- The vertical charts are not directly supported by Google but there is an issue: https://github.com/google/google-visualization-issues/issues/47
and towards the end, there seems to be a CSS fix.
Yes, it looks messy. In this case we are limited by the screen space, that’s why it looks crammed up. One approach is to create multiple shortcodes based on departments. We have an example here:
https://employee-directory.emdplugins.com/organization-chart/
I would create a separate shortcode for executive team and display them as a department of its own. Some companies put “Customer” at the top of the organization chart not to leave any orphan branch.
