Excellent plugin and support
Solid plugin for adding interactive 360 panoramas to WordPress, works well with Elementor and handles the viewer side of things cleanly. I’ve been building out a filterable gallery of panoramas and the plugin itself has done exactly what I needed for the core viewing functionality. Support has also been responsive and helpful when I’ve run into questions, including owning up to and correcting a mix-up on their end without any fuss. Would recommend if you need a panorama viewer for WordPress.

Improved after feedback
It looks fine for a panorama picture but does not have settings for a flat view of a wide image unless I’m missing something. EDIT: The developer Abu has been brilliant and is working on a fix so this feature is being added. Remarkable positive response!

Nice effect and easy to use
An excellent solution that is easy to use.

Free version works well, might need a little polishing...
The excellent news is that this plugin works. It's simple to use: upload a 360º image to the Media Library, assign it to a Panorama, and then place a shortcut somewhere in the middle of your article, and it will "just work". There are, of course, a few limitations — at least, on the Free version (they might have been fixed for the Pro [paid!] version, though; I simply cannot test that <i>it just works</i> in all circumstances, because it will depend on your setup and how much control you have over it (i.e., hosted on a cloud service somewhere … or used in a shared hosting environment). Notably, from the perspective of the (human!) manager, it's not that easy to figure out how things work. Panoramas are special and are a taxonomy on their own; they are inserted into articles using old-fashioned shortcuts, not fancy Gutenberg blocks. That said, the results are very reasonable, and this plugin is not limited to merely display "traditional" 360º images; it can also work with more exotic formats (such as Google Street View!). If you don't wish to waste your time searching for the "perfect" plugin, the free version of Panorama Viewer should be more than adequate for most people's needs.

Don't bother with Pro
Pro version does not work. I even have built a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 with Wordpress 6.3 and a single installed plugin (Pro version of Panorama Viewer), gallery still din't not work. Support for Pro version does not exist. The only interaction I ever got from developers was a reply to the refund request. Developer requested access to WP installation, but when I provided it, the only response was a silence. If you need a free version - yes, it works. But don't spend money on Pro.

Good Plugin - CSS needs bit of work
One of the best, if not the best free plugin. However the CSS needs some work. The developer uses the generic class name "title" which is inferring with all the other elements on our website. Please use something more specific like "panorama-title".
