Description

FAQ
-
Does the plugin require WooCommerce?
-
Yes. The plugin can remain network-active on multisite, but the gallery runs only on sites where WooCommerce is active.
-
Where do product images come from?
-
The featured product image and Product gallery images come directly from the standard WooCommerce product editor.
-
Does the free version include video or 360-degree media?
-
No. Video and 360-degree panoramas require the separately installed DreamFast Gallery Pro add-on and an active license.
-
How do I add video or a 360-degree panorama in Pro?
-
Edit a product and open the DreamFast Media Gallery tab. Add a YouTube, Vimeo, or local video, or select a 2:1 equirectangular panorama. Choose its position among the WooCommerce product images and update the product.
-
What image should I use for a 360-degree view?
-
Use one equirectangular panorama with a 2:1 aspect ratio, such as 4096 by 2048 pixels.
-
What happens if I disable the plugin gallery?
-
WooCommerce returns to its normal product gallery. Saved DreamFast settings and product media references remain in the database so they are available if the gallery is enabled again.
-
Does the plugin contact external services?
-
The bundled gallery assets load locally. Freemius is used for optional opt-in, checkout, licensing, account management, and Pro updates. YouTube or Vimeo is contacted only when a store administrator adds that provider’s video to a product and a visitor opens that product page.
-
Where is the complete user guide?
