 [advance_panorama_viewer panorama=”https://example.com/path/to/panorama.
jpg”]

With additional attributes:

com/path/to/panorama.jpg” title=”Beautiful Sunset” author=”John Doe” height=”600px”

   properly.
 * Use percentage or pixel values for ‘height’ and ‘width’ attributes (e.g., “100%”,“
   400px”).
 * When using the shortcode in a page builder or custom HTML block, you may need
   to wrap it in a shortcode block or use the appropriate syntax for your specific
   editor.

## FAQ

### What image formats are supported?

The plugin supports equirectangular images in common web formats such as JPG, PNG,
and WebP. For best results, use high-quality equirectangular images with a 2:1 aspect
ratio.

### Can I use this plugin with page builders other than Gutenberg?

The plugin is designed to work seamlessly with the Gutenberg block editor. While
it doesn’t provide native support for other page builders, you can use the plugin’s
shortcode in any page builder that supports shortcodes. We’re considering adding
support for more page builders in future updates.

### How can I optimize the performance of 360-degree panoramas on my site?

To ensure optimal performance, we recommend using compressed images, enabling browser
caching, and using a content delivery network (CDN) for your website. The plugin
is designed to load resources efficiently, but large panoramic images may still 
impact page load times.

### Can I customize the viewer controls?

Yes, the Gutenberg block provides options to customize the viewer controls. You 
can choose to show or hide controls, and even specify custom control settings to
tailor the user experience.

### Does this plugin support VR viewing?

Currently, the plugin does not have built-in VR support. However, we’re exploring
the possibility of adding WebVR compatibility in a future release.
