Power BI Embedded for WordPress now available!
I wanted to make you aware of a plugin that Atlas Public Policy (www.atlaspolicy.com) has created to makes it easy to integrate Power BI Embedded with your WordPress website.
Atlas uses Power BI in most of our projects to make data more accessible to professionals in public policy. Often, our work includes building public-facing websites with WordPress and embedding Power BI reports using "publish to web."
Recently, we wanted to expand our offerings and take advantage of Power BI Embedded. We figured we weren't the only ones and in the spirit of open source development, we created a plugin to connect Power BI Embedded and WordPress. For the first release, we included functionality to embed dashboards, reports, report visuals, Q&A, and tiles.
This plugin uses the Power BI REST API to access various types of content and easily embed them on a WordPress site using a shortcode. The plugin follows the "app owns data" process as documented by Microsoft here.
The plugin relies on Microsoft's JavaScript library for embedding Power BI available on Github here: https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript.
You can download the Power BI Embedded for WordPress plugin on GitHub here: https://github.com/atlaspolicy/power-bi-embedded.
More documentation on the plugin is available in the README on GitHub.
We would really value the contribution of others on this project to expand the plugin's capabilities and increase its usefullness to the Power BI community.

Am getting error Please help
Is it possible to explain the plugin a little bit more?
Because it doesnt work for me :)
Can you explain the error you're seeing? I tested on a fresh website before I published the plugin.
It just doesn't work, when i insert the code to a page, it stays blank.
Thanks for this article.
I managed to embedded the report into the WordPress site successfully as an iframe.
I set the width and height to 100% of the Power BI report. However, I find there is some kind of constrain zooming into the report. I can't seem to zoom in and out of the report smoothly.
Does anyone has this experience? If so what did you do to resolve this limitations.
Npnigro hi
Do you have a web page where I can see examples on how the plug in works?
Or you have a step by step on how to embed one of the examples post in this git hub created by Microsoft?

Hi npnigro
Great news for me. I'm able to connect Power BI Reports with Wordpress by following all steps
Now i want to see RLS i.e. applied on my reports. Over wordpress plugin setting i couldnt see any option to add body like we did in REST API on Power BI Embedded Playground (Below Json example).
In short: How can i apply RLS, instructions are not clear to me.
Body: { "accessLevel": "View", "allowSaveAs": "false", "identities": [ { "username": "[email protected]", "roles": [ "UserRole" ], "datasets": [ "bf6bea64-e582-4848-aaa6-ef34ccbc8e34" ] } ] }Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
AdeelHow can i apply RLS on Wordpress Embedded Report?
Assuming I'm understanding your question right, no, the Power BI site's url is hardcoded in several places, so it will only work with reports hosted on PowerBI.com.
Howerver, the plugin's code is public, so there's no reason you couldn't fork it and upload the plugin directly to your site.
