  How do I create panoramas for use with PanoPress ?

First, you must shoot and stitch a panorama, you will need a decent camera capable
of manual exposure control, manual focus, and manual white balance setting, a solid
tripod and a proper panoramic tripod head like from [Nodal Ninja](http://nodalninja.com),
and probably a good fisheye lens although fisheye is not required but it makes things
easier – see the links below for tutorials on how to create a 360 degree panorama
and more information on panoramic photography

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=15B8C737F69319BE

http://www.tilmanbremer.de/tutorials/

http://ivrpa.org

http://www.panoguide.com

After shooting your panorama, you will need to stitch it together using a stitching
application like [PTGui](http://www.ptgui.com/), [AutoPano](http://www.kolor.com/),
or [Hugin](http://hugin.sourceforge.net/) and then you must use another application
such as [KRPano](http://www.krpano.com/), [Pano2VR](http://gardengnomesoftware.com/pano2vr.php),
[Kolor Panotour or Panotour Pro](http://www.kolor.com/panotour-panotour-pro-comparison.html),
[Flash Panorama Player & Flashificator](http://flashificator.com/), [Saladoplayer](http://panozona.com/wiki/SaladoPlayer)
or similar to create interactive 360° VR Panoramas with Flash or HTML5 for web display
and use with [PanoPress](http://www.panopress.org/)

PanoPress can also be used to embed panos hosted on websites like [360Cities.net](http://www.360Cities.net/),
[ViewAt.org](http://www.viewat.org/), [TourWrist.com](http://www.tourwrist.com/),
etc

  How do I use PanoPress ?

 1. Install & activate the [PanoPress](http://www.panopress.org/) plugin on your WordPress
    site
 2. Upload your Panoramas to your site via FTP
 3. Embed your Panoramas in posts & pages using the PanoPress shortcode

  How do I use the PanoPress shortcode ?

Use the shortcode as below, accepted file types are .swf, .xml, .mov (qtvr) & .html
.
htm, .php, etc as well as php queries like .php?=xx and similar file extensions 
will also work

Preview images may be .jpg or .png

Width & height are in pixels by default, or can optionally be specified as px, %,
em, or other standard CSS units
 Examples: 800px, 100%, 2.5em, etc, you may mix 
values like width=”100%” height=”400px” Note that % width or height will be % of
the parent css element, not nessisarily the entire page

File paths in shortcode are either relative to your panorama upload folder as set
in panopress settings, or you may use absolute urls

‘[pano file=”path-from-upload-folder/my-pano/my-pano.swf”]’
 ‘[pano file=”my-pano/
my-pano.xml” preview=”my-pano/my-pano.jpg”]’ ‘[pano file=”my-pano/my-pano.html” 
preview=”my-pano/my-pano.jpg” panobox=”on”]’ ‘[pano file=”my-pano/my-pano.html” 
preview=”my-pano/my-pano.jpg” width=”100%” height=”500px”]’ ‘[pano file=”http://
www.EXAMPLE.com/my-pano/my-pano.html”]’

See the [PanoPress Instructions](http://www.panopress.org/instructions/) for more
shortcode examples & info

 [Luca Candela](https://profiles.wordpress.org/luck72/) 3, Febreru de 2019

PanoPress is an excellent plugin and works perfectly in WordPress 5.0.3 . I really
hope the developers will start again to develop it and add some new futures. Since
there are only few panorama plugin and actually this is for sure the best, i’m even
willing to pay for have a new release. A good work has always to be paid!

This plugin is great for including 360 product product photography through garden
gnomes object2vr software. Just a click and a paste and all is done

i love the popularity of this plug in till i’m about to follow the instructions 
on uploading the 360files to server .. don’t understand why this plug in needs to
rely on ftp load instead direct access to media files makes huge difference in usability
of this app
