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.
  • Thumbnail – First Scene you select for the tour.
  • Shortcodes – The shortcode generated for this tour.
  • Type – Type of the tour info will be shown.
  • Author – The user who 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 a few general options.

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.

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