Yes. You can create a custom class on your theme, stating whatever style you want.

Collect the ID from the virtual tour you created. Assign the height and width as you desire.

Go to your WordPress Dashboard > WPVR > Get Started > Settings.

Check the Enable Script Control option status.

If the Enable Script Control option is turned On, turn it off and reload the tour page.

If you wish to use this feature, you have to set the URLs of all the pages on your site with a virtual tour in the List of Allowed Pages To Load WPVR Scripts field.

Sometimes when you add a tour to your site, you might face this issue, rather than loading the tour it will give the error “THE FILE (…) COULD NOT BE ACCESSED.”

This error shows up when you are running a website under “HTTPS” (secured with SSL certificate) whereas your image link is under “HTTP” (unsecured).

To solve this issue, go to your WordPress Dashboard > Settings > General.

Here make sure you have “HTTP” added to both “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)”.

And that’s it. Your virtual tour should load with no issues.

Yes, you can publish the tours as the full width of your page/post.

For Gutenberg, Elementor, and Oxygen builder, set fullwidth on the Width field. For shortcodes, set width = “fullwidth”.

If you use any Optimization or Caching plugins, then you need to exclude WP VR from its optimization function.

Simply add ‘/plugins/wpvr’ to the exclusion field (or use the location where you store plugins).

You can only allow the backend users like Admins, Editors, and Authors of your site to create virtual tours.

Admins & editors will have access to all virtual tours on the site to modify, update and delete them.

Authors can access their own tours only and modify, update, or delete them.

Admins can remove access from Authors and Editors at any time.
