  • Amazing Plugin!

    I got my GGPKG running in no time. For those who use elementor, first create a blank page and edit with the classic editor > add media, upload your ggpkg, insert > you will get your ggpkg ID! Then on elementor page, just add a text widget and use this shortcode: [ggpkg id=XXXX width='100%' height='100vh' start_node=nodeXX ] You can set the width and height in any unit, which is great if you want to keep a footer (ex. height='85vh' & footer: 15vh) if your tour has several nodes, you can use start_node=nodeXX and set which node you want the tour to start from. Cheers! and great job!

  • Great and easy way to add 360 product photography that uses Object2vr

    This is a great and easy way to add 360 product photography that you have created in Object2VR to any page, post, portfolio page, or article inside of Wordpress. Keep in mind that you still need the files stored as a GGPKG from Object2vr.
