Installation

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/360-sphere-images directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

Upload an equirectangular 360 image to your Media Library and copy the URL for the uploaded image.

Insert a sphere into a post or page use the following shortcode:

[sphere size="300" url="COPY AND PASTE URL HERE" link="" speed="30" direction="right" hover="none"]

• Size= the dimensions of the sphere in pixels
  DEFAULT= 300 OPTIONS= 1 to ???
• URL= the URL of the 360 image
  DEFAULT= 360sample.jpg OPTIONS= any equirectangular 360 image
• Link= URL for image to link to
  DEFAULT= none OPTIONS= any hyperlink url
• Speed= the amount of time for the image to rotate a complete 360 in seconds
  DEFAULT= 30 OPTIONS= 1 to ???
• Direction= direction of the movement for the image
  DEFAULT= right OPTIONS= left, right
• Hover= pause image rotation on hover
  DEFAULT= none OPTIONS= none, pause

Notes: Typically you want the height of your 360 image to be the same size as your sphere for faster image loading. If you are using a 300px sphere you will want your equirectangular image to be 600px x 300px for optimal loading. 360 images should be in a 2:1 ratio and stitch smoothly on both sides for best results.
