My requirement to display 360 photo in my web site is very simple – just to set the initial Field of View to fix the incorrect camera position when the photo is loaded. There are many plugins doing so but such feature requires a paid subscription and bundled in virtual tour. I do not need such fancy feature to create virtual tour. I found this plugin meeting exactly my requirement and expectation. Plus it is free. There are many other parameter to tweak the 360 photo in the initial display. Thanks to the author sharing this great work to the Wordpress community.

The plugin is very fine, all necessary function and easy to configure. Good support from developer. Works also perfect on mobile devices.

Ich würde ohne zu zögern eine Pro Version kaufen. Weiter so. Das einzig brauchbar Plugin wenn man auf Google verzichten möchte.

I couldn’t get the inbuilt WP 360 shortcodes to work at all. So I found this plugin on google and within a few clicks, I was up and running. The 360 looks great so far. I should have come here first and saved myself some hours 🙂
