Features
- Unlimited tours with up to 7 scenes each

- Starter templates: Real Estate, Hotel, Restaurant, Showroom, or start blank
- Smooth WebGL viewer powered by Three.js — drag, zoom, auto-rotate, fullscreen
- Mobile-ready: touch controls and optional gyroscope look-around
- Modern admin: fast React interface with a clean, responsive design
- Privacy-friendly analytics: anonymous views, visitors, hotspot clicks, and shares — no cookies, no personal data, nothing sent to external servers
- Sharing: native share on mobile plus Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, email, and copy-link
- Password protection using WordPress’ built-in post passwords
- Export / Import: move tours between sites as JSON (images included via sideloading)
- Embed anywhere: Gutenberg block,
[vist360_tour id="123"]shortcode, native Elementor widget, or the tour’s own permalink
Privacy
The plugin makes no calls to external services. Analytics are stored in your own database as anonymous, aggregated counters: visitor identity is a salted daily hash, IP addresses are never persisted, and no cookies are set.

FAQ
-
What image format do I need?
-
Standard equirectangular JPEG or PNG panoramas (2:1 aspect ratio) work best for sphere scenes. Regular photos can be used with the Flat scene type.
-
How many scenes can a tour have?
-
Up to 7 scenes per tour. Developers can change this with the
vist360_max_scenesfilter. -
Does it collect visitor data?
-
Only anonymous, aggregated counts stored in your own database — and you can switch analytics off entirely in Settings.
-
Does it work with page builders?
-
Elementor gets a native widget. Anywhere else shortcodes work (Divi, WPBakery, Oxygen, etc.) you can use
[vist360_tour id="123"]. Block editor users get a native block. -
Will uninstalling delete my tours?
-
No. Data is only removed if you enable “Delete all data on uninstall” in Settings Advanced before deleting the plugin.

Changelog
1.0.1
- Migrated all plugin code to a single, unique
vist360prefix — functions, classes, theVist360namespace, options, post meta, the REST namespace, the block name, asset handles, CSS classes, and the embed shortcodes (vist360_tour,vist360_panorama_tour) — so nothing can conflict with other plugins or themes. - Replaced an invalid repository link in the readme with the official WordPress.org plugin page.
1.0.0
- Initial release: tours, five scene projections, four hotspot types, live-preview editor with click-to-place hotspots, starter templates, WebGL viewer, block + shortcode + Elementor embedding, JSON export/import, anonymous analytics, and settings.
