Here’s a quick plugin overview of WP VR.

As you can see, under WP VR, you will get the following sub-menus:

1. Get Started  #

When you click on WPVR it will by default take you to the Get Started page.

Here, you can see, on top, there are a few tabs:

  • Info

Initially you will be on the INFO tab.

The VIDEO TUTORIALS tab will include tutorial videos to help you learn WPVR.

The IMPORT tab will let you import an external virtual tour created using WPVR.

WPVR - Get Started - Import

For example, if you have a second site, and you created a great virtual tour on that site. Let’s say you want to embed that virtual tour on this website as well. Then you can simply export that tour using WPVR and then import it here using this option.

In the SETTINGS tab, you will get several important settings and features.

WPVR - Get Started - Settings

Here, you will be able to assign roles such as the Editor or Author to someone in your team to be able to modify or create tours other than yourself (the admin).

You can also disable Fontawesome icons from the plugin, disable WordPress default large image handler, and set it up so that only selected pages will load Scripts from the plugin.

 2. Tours  #

Next is the sub-menu Tours.

WPVR - Tours

All the virtual tours you create and publish or save to draft will be listed here.

Here, for each tour you can see:

  • Title – The title of the tour you set.
  • Shortcodes – The shortcode generated for this tour.
  • Author – The user that created the tour.
  • Date – The date and time the tour was published/modified.

Here, you can copy the shortcode of a tour and use it to embed that tour on a page or post.

**You can only embed published tours. Even though drafted tours have shortcodes generated, they will only work when published.

When you hover the mouse on a tour, you will get few general options.
