Spindle Market Research Hub Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Spindle Market Research Hub provides a structured research and market-data workspace for WordPress. A modular financial research dashboard for WordPress, built for publishing market reports, equity research, sector reports, macroeconomic reports, corporate results, dividend records, and market summary data.
Features include:
- Six research content areas: daily market, equity, sector, macroeconomic, corporate results, and dividends.
- Frontend research dashboard with tabbed navigation.
- NGX All Share Index chart with 1D, 5D, 1M, and YTD views.
- Sector performance chart.
- Top gainers and top losers with price and percentage change.
- Market capitalization, turnover volume, and turnover value, with snapshot metrics shown only when their corresponding values are supplied.
- Fixed-income instruments.
- Foreign exchange rates.
- Macroeconomic indicators.
- Daily market summaries and downloadable price-list/report files.
- Market data search and TradingView-powered market widgets.
-
ACF-powered structured data entry and CSV-assisted market data management.
-
The plugin uses Advanced Custom Fields PRO for its structured content fields.
- The plugin displays an admin notice on its Research Hub and research-entry screens when ACF PRO is not installed and active.
- Administrator-controlled Google Fonts dropdowns for a consistent frontend and plugin-admin typography system, with Josefin Sans for body/text and Poppins for headings by default, plus separate admin-area toggles for each selected font. Snapshot labels intentionally follow the body/text family so the default snapshot typography remains Josefin Sans.
- The market ticker speed is administrator-controlled and remains independent of the number of gainers or losers supplied.
- Frontend snapshot/ticker styles are loaded early when their shortcodes are present to avoid an unstyled-content flash.
External Services
This plugin can connect to third-party services to provide market visualization, embedded market information, and administrator-selected typography.
Google Fonts
The typography settings provide administrator-selectable Google Fonts dropdowns for body/text and headings. The selected font stylesheet is requested from Google’s Fonts service when the plugin’s frontend or plugin-admin screens are displayed. The selected typography is applied consistently to the plugin frontend and plugin administration screens.

For WordPress.org directory distribution, non-service JavaScript dependencies should be bundled with the plugin rather than loaded from a third-party CDN.
Source Code
Source code and development history: https://github.com/adedayospindles/spindle-market-research
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0 or later.
- PHP 7.4 or later.
- Advanced Custom Fields PRO installed and activated. The free ACF plugin alone is not sufficient because the plugin uses ACF PRO Repeater fields.
Shortcodes
The plugin provides three frontend shortcodes:
[market_research_dashboard]
Displays the Research Hub dashboard, including the dashboard tabs, NGX All Share Index chart, sector performance, market data, reports, price lists, market summaries, corporate results, dividends, and market-data search.
[market_research_home_snapshot]
Displays a compact four-column market snapshot with the NGX All-Share Index, top gainer, top loser, and a MARKET TURNOVER & SIZE panel. Volume, Value, and Cap are displayed on one line with their corresponding values underneath; any metric that has no supplied value is omitted.
[market_research_price_ticker]
Displays the market price ticker with supported NGX market movement information.
Use the shortcodes independently. You do not need to place all three on the same page.
