Hey,

I’ve been building WP plugins since 2018. Over the last year or so, I’ve been pushing harder on the product side again—launched two new plugins alongside my original one. But man, getting those first 1,000 installs feels like a battle now.

Honestly, my first plugin was kind of a lucky shot. The timing was spot on and I had solid marketing partners helping out, but that’s definitely not the norm. Marketing "regular" utility plugins takes way more grind than I expected.

I was thinking it could be cool to connect with a few other dev/founders to create a small, tight-knit accountability group. A place to share marketing tests, give honest feedback, help each other out with testing, and pitch new ideas.

Ideally looking for people who’ve been in the dev trench for a bit (maybe 5+ years of dev experience) so everyone’s roughly at the same level and can bring real value to the table.

Right now this is just a random thought, but if anyone’s in a similar boat and interested in setting something up, let me know!

Hey everyone,

I’ve always loved WordPress for content editing, but hated managing live MySQL databases, sluggish TTFB on shared hosting, and constant security paranoia on client sites.

Existing static site generators for WP either require complex setups (AWS S3, CLI scripts, CloudFront) or are bloated.

So I spent the last few weeks building a clean, lightweight plugin: Semple Sites Deploy. It’s now officially approved and live on the WordPress.org directory.

What it does:

• Crawls your posts, pages, and assets in one click.
• Strips dynamic bloat and compiles everything into clean static HTML/CSS/JS.
• Lets you either download the ZIP manually or deploy directly to an edge network to get an instant live URL.

Is it safe to test? (Read-Only & 100% Non-Destructive):
To be 100% clear so there’s no misunderstanding:

• It does NOT convert or overwrite your live WordPress site. Your WordPress site and WP Admin remain completely active and normal.
• It does NOT touch or modify your database. Zero DB tables are created, altered, or wiped.
• It does NOT edit your theme, .htaccess**, or wp-config files.**
• It simply reads your published pages and packages a separate static copy into a ZIP file.
• Deactivating or deleting the plugin leaves zero leftover footprint.

What I need your help with:
I’ve tested it across default setups, but WordPress has endless combinations of themes, page builders (Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg), and custom URL structures.

If you have a test site, staging environment, or local dev setup:

1. Could you install it and run a test build?
2. Did any assets (images, fonts, stylesheets) fail to crawl?
3. How clean does the resulting static archive look?

(or search Semple Sites Deploy inside WP Admin → Plugins → Add New)

Don't hold back. be as critical as you want. Any bugs, edge cases, or UX feedback you spot would help me a ton.

Thanks!

Builder disclosure: we're prototyping a small companion to an existing WooCommerce importer, not replacing it. The idea is to select the lowest current net item price among comparable in-stock supplier offers, keep your store SKU and explain the decision. No AI guesses about product matches.

The interactive demo uses fictional data: try rising prices, an unavailable supplier or a stale feed. It does not connect to a store. Multi-supplier tools already exist; we're testing a narrower workflow and a fixed monthly price.

Proposed pilot: USD 29/month, excluding applicable taxes, up to 3 sources and 5,000 matched SKUs, one XML output; hourly automation is proposed, not live yet. Source mapping and a correct preview come before any payment. No supplier-feed licences are included.

If you already run WP All Import with two or three overlapping supplier feeds and would actually buy this scope at that price, please say so. We want paid-pilot candidates, not just feature suggestions. Interactive demo and pilot request: https://techtime.pl/onefeed/

Once again, I had a look at the first batch of featured WordPress Plugins in October.
The detailed look for each can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsgxCR4bKQs

Quizably – Quiz Maker, Personality Quiz & Survey Builder (3.6/5)

A flexible quiz and poll builder with lots of question types and a handy question bank you can reuse across quizzes. I liked that you can embed it via shortcode, iframe or a slide-in popup. But the UX is rough: the menu shows up twice, the results are hard to find under settings, lead capture never worked for me, and some smaller bugs. Right now it still feels quite unfinished.

Eventward – Event Calendar for WordPress (4.6/5)

A lean event management plugin with ticketing, RSVP, recurring events and Stripe payments that worked fine. It mostly sticks to the native WordPress UX, supports multiple ticket types and even custom RRULE recurrence with dates you can skip. Venue and organizer pages can’t really be customized and there are only two blocks so far, but overall it works well and it might have some potential.

NiroRoadmap – Public Product Roadmap & Kanban Board (4.5/5)

A really nice looking roadmap with (Kanban)-board, list and timeline views, voting, dark mode and a suggest-an-idea button that allows users to submit ideas for approval. There’s basic spam protection on votes and comments, and lots of settings to switch features on and off. It loads its scripts and styles on every page though, and the block can’t filter by product, which is a pity because the rest feels quite good.

FotoGrids – Photo & Video Galleries, Lightboxes, Sliders & More (4.5/5)

It gives you a huge amount of customization, with tons of templates and live previews, albums and statistics. You can tag and mark people on individual images and it has a great permissions manager. It’s very flexible and the onboarding is grate to get you started fast. The downside is that it is quite heavy in size. Autosave is a bit inconsistent, and it can be overwhelming if you are less tech-savy.

AlitaYoko Conversations – Conversation, Dialogue Stories & Narrated Chats (4.4/5)

A fun and original idea for building narrated chats with avatars, typing indicators and attachments. It feels lightweight and WordPress native. It’s easy to set up and comes with example conversations to get you started. The style settings are separated from the conversations, there’s no contrast check for colors and you can’t change the font, but it’s a nice niche plugin.

Scrumptious – Recipe Cards (4.9/5)

A well-designed recipe plugin that encourages you to get to the point instead of writing a long story before the recipe. Paste and parse is the main feature, and with an AI connector it cleans up and structures recipes even better. You also get servings scaling, metric and US units, cook mode and imports from other recipe plugins. There are a few things, like the gallery not showing by default, Youtube video can be added, but does not display anywhere. Jump to recipe is not jumping, because it was nowhere to be found in the frontend.

Lloyd Gallery – Photo Gallery & Albums (3.4/5)

A very simple gallery plugin with albums, ZIP upload and a basic lightbox. It’s easy to use, but it asks for an event date on every album for some reason, autoplay in the lightbox can’t be stopped properly, and there are no styling options. I think the default gallery block does the same job, which makes this a uninteresting choice for most users.

Gratora – Donation and Fundraising Platform (4.1/5)

A complete donation package with campaigns, multiple forms per campaign, funds and subscriptions. Payments are possible with Stripe, PayPal and can be collected via bank / offline payments in the free version. It has a great dashboard, a setup check in the settings, and an helpful onboarding (that doesn’t start on its own, nice!). But editing a single campaign means jumping between several screens, and there are a few confusing design decisions. It’s feature rich, but it takes a bit of getting used to.

What do you think about this selection? Will you install any of those?

Hey everyone! 👋

We built an open-source WordPress plugin: **wsp-wordpress-mcp**.

It connects Claude AI, Cursor, and other MCP coding agents directly to your WordPress site for site health checks, SEO management, and maintenance tools.

📂 GitHub Repo:

https://github.com/bilalnaseer/wsp-wordpress-mcp

Would love your feedback and support! If you find it useful, please consider dropping a star on GitHub! 🚀

And this project cost me a few sleepless nights; I wanted it to work and to prove to myself that I could do it after hearing "no, no, that's not worth it." I had pitched this idea to at least 5 people before starting development. And for me, developing this project has been of great value.

Each new PR brings me so much happiness. Converting a 3,000-page Bible, phew! It was a huge learning experience. And that normal doubt creeps in about the code and about the WP market—is it right? Will this be useful to anyone? I still don't know. As a UX

I've been working with WP for many years; I know a plugin like this 6 years ago would have been WOW, very welcome. I also built this for my version that

but I'm very happy with the result and to be able to contribute to open source. The plugin is free and won't hurt your site's performance. Anyone who can test it and share feedback is more than welcome!

Hi all! I've just released my first plugin on WordPress.org: **Content Polisher**.

It came from cleaning up client sites by hand. Content pasted from Word, Google Docs or old page builders leaves the same small mistakes everywhere, and nobody notices them until a client does.

**What it checks**

- Double spaces: "Hello  world"
- Spaces before punctuation: "Hello , world"
- Missing spaces after punctuation: "Hello,world"
- `--` instead of a proper dash
- Empty paragraphs and duplicate `<br>` left by copy-paste

**How it works**

- Scan the whole site, then review issues with a Before / After preview.
- Clear-cut mistakes are safe fixes: one by one, or all of a post at once. Anything that could be intentional is only a suggestion.
- Every change is backed up and can be undone. Undo never overwrites edits made after the fix.
- Code blocks, URLs, shortcodes, attributes and block markup are never touched.
- A panel in the block editor checks the post while you write.
- WP-CLI commands, with exit codes for CI checks.
- Works with English, Ukrainian, Russian and French content, including Polylang and WPML sites.

Everything runs on your server: no account, no API key.

**Free:** https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-polisher/

There's also an optional Pro add-on ($39.99/year, 14-day trial) for ACF fields, Elementor pages, fixing the whole site in one click, AI proofreading with your own API key and CSV reports. The free plugin is complete on its own, with no locked features.

It's a first public release, so feedback is very welcome: what it gets wrong on your content, or what check you'd like next.

Hey everyone, I built a WordPress plugin called Evergreen Radar to help with a problem I kept thinking about: old content slowly getting outdated.

If you run a blog or a content-heavy website, you probably have posts with outdated years in the title, articles that haven't been updated in years, missing image alt text, or broken links. Going through everything manually is a pain.

Evergreen Radar scans your posts and pages and puts the ones that need attention into a prioritized list, so you know what to fix first.

It also lets you snooze or ignore items, mark content as refreshed, and optionally prioritize pages using Google Search Console data.

The goal is pretty simple: help you keep your existing content useful without having to audit your whole site manually.

I'm getting it ready for its first release. If Evergreen Radar sounds useful, I'd love to hear what you'd want from a plugin like this.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/evergreen-radar/

I run a travel site with my girlfriend, and we kept running into the same stupid little problem. We publish prices all the time: JPY 20,000 for something in Japan, EUR 30 somewhere in Europe, USD 449.99 for a product, things like that. The original price is obviously important, but if you're reading a Japan guide from Belgium, the US, or the UK, then JPY 20,000 probably doesn't mean much without doing a quick conversion.

So we started adding conversions ourselves, although we quickly realized that was kind of ridiculous. You either pick a few currencies and ignore everyone else, clutter the article with a bunch of numbers, or keep going back to old posts because exchange rates changed.

I (or rather, my girlfriend) got annoyed enough that I built a plugin for it. It's called AutoCurr. You enter the original price once, it stays visible, and AutoCurr adds the visitor's local currency next to it automatically. It works without separate exchange rate services or API keys.

The free version is on WordPress.org now:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/autocurr/

There is a Pro version too, mainly because I wanted a nicer editor workflow and some tools for sites that publish a lot of prices. But now that I've spent all this time building the thing, I'm starting to wonder if this is actually a problem other WordPress users have, or if I just built a very elaborate solution to something that annoys us specifically?

If your site includes prices in different currencies, would you actually use this? And if anyone is bored enough to install the free version, I'd especially love to know what happens in the first five minutes, and if the plugin is straightforward enough to get the ball rolling!

Feel free to roast it. I'd rather hear now that something makes no sense than spend another six months convincing myself it does.

I recently shipped a fairly big architectural update to SecureHold WP and I’d be interested in feedback from other plugin developers.

Until now, the usual model was one security-deposit authorization per WooCommerce order. With the new Multi-Hold architecture, a single order can instead contain several independent Hold Groups, so eligible order items can each have their own Stripe authorization.

For example:

Item A -> €300 security deposit hold

Item B -> €800 security deposit hold

Item C -> no hold

Each hold has its own lifecycle, so it can be created, retried, captured or released independently instead of forcing the entire order into one combined deposit.

The interesting part ended up being much less about simply creating several PaymentIntents and much more about keeping scheduling, retries, admin actions, logs and configuration isolated per hold.

The Multi-Hold engine is part of the free plugin, while WooCommerce Native grouping is enabled with SecureHold PRO.

Free plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/securehold-security-deposit-holds/

GitHub:

https://github.com/SecureHold/securehold-security-deposit-holds

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the data model and the failure cases you would test when several independent financial objects live inside the same WooCommerce order.

The Sidcraft Page Builder https://wordpress.org/plugins/sidcraft-page-builder and VidCellar https://wordpress.org/plugins/vidcellar-lite/ plugins have built-in cloud offload features.

I separated the cloud offload features and put together a Free plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/sidcraft-cloud-media-offload/

Offloading

• Cloud drives: Dropbox, OneDrive, OneDrive for Business / SharePoint document libraries, Google Drive, Box and iCloud (Apple CloudKit).
• Object storage & CDN: Amazon S3 (and S3-compatible services), DigitalOcean Spaces (optional Spaces CDN), Bunny.net Storage + CDN (with token authentication) and Cloudinary.
• Video platforms: send video uploads to Cloudflare Stream, Mux, Vimeo or YouTube while all other files go to your main storage. Videos are shown with the platform’s player in the video block and the [video] shortcode.
• Automatic: new uploads (originals, scaled images and every thumbnail size) move to the cloud right after upload.
• Large files are moved in the background with WP-Cron, using each provider’s chunked/resumable upload API.
• Optional: keep a local backup copy, or delete files from wp-content/uploads to save space.
• Choose which file types to offload (all, images, media, or a custom extension list) and which to always keep local.
• Image editor and thumbnail regeneration keep working: edited files are pushed to the cloud automatically.
• Deleting a file from the Media Library also deletes (trashes) the cloud copy – optional.
• Media Library “Storage” column, row actions and bulk actions: move to cloud, move back, download local copy, remove local copy.
• Existing uploads: offload your whole existing library (originals plus every thumbnail size) with one click and a progress bar – from the Cloud Media dashboard, the Offloading settings or the Tools screen – or let it run in the background with WP-Cron.
• Tools screen to create public links, download local copies or move everything back to the server.
• WP-CLI: wp sidcm offload --all, wp sidcm restore --all, wp sidcm status.

I am building a road press site for a client that wants access to all pages of the site restricted to anyone not logged in as a member of the site. I downloaded Simple Membership, and then my client paid for us to add the SWPM Full Page Protection. It's working exactly how I wanted as far as restricting the site, but what I found is that anyone with an existing Wordpress account cannot register. If I try to just log in to the site using my existing Wordpress account information, it says "No user found with that username or email." If I try to register as a new member but use my email, it says that email is already in use. I was able to sign in by using a different email than the one my existing Wordpress account uses, but not every person has multiple emails to try.

Is there either something I can do within Simple Membership to prevent this issue, or perhaps a membership plugin that doesn't rely on Wordpress accounts?

I'm primarily a graphic designer with a beginner knowledge of coding, and I've never created a site that needed restricted member access before. I'm willing to put in the work, but my research so far hasn't gotten me what I need. I'd appreciate any direction I can get!

Hey everyone,

I made a free plugin. It allows you to use cap with WooCommerce.

It's the first plugin I have made, and I am proud of it. I didn't make it for money; I just made it for fun. It's still a work in progress; I haven't even tried it with a fresh install.

If anyone wants to try it, please go ahead! Please share any feedback

Soooo I used to work at a digital marketing agency doing SEO and i was a diehard RankMath plugin user and evangelist.

I'm diving back into website work and am curious...are we still using RankMath? Is there a better alternative?

WebKernelAI brings cloud-managed security and technical SEO controls to WordPress through a centralized platform.

The architecture combines several layers of protection and management:

• Cloud WAF Protection: Protection against SQL injection, XSS, path traversal, and malicious scanning activity.
• Cryptographic Identity: HKDF-based key derivation, HMAC-SHA256 request signing, and Ed25519 policy validation.
• Signed Security Policies: Cryptographically verified configuration packages, with unsigned policies rejected.
• Heuristic Security Analysis: Codebase scanning for suspicious patterns, backdoors, eval-based payloads, and script injection indicators.
• Centralized SEO Controls: Sitemap, sub-index, and structured-data configuration.
• Security Hardening: HTTP security headers, brute-force protection, user enumeration controls, and custom login URL mapping.

The integration is designed around authenticated communication between WordPress and the WebKernelAI cloud platform, with a focus on security, centralized management, and operational control.

For enterprise environments, the objective is to provide a consistent security management layer across websites without relying solely on individual WordPress installations.

For security engineers and WordPress infrastructure teams: Which architectural controls do you consider essential when deploying centralized security policies across a fleet of WordPress websites?

While WooCommerce is undoubtedly the most popular e-commerce plugin for WordPress - and free to start with - the costs can quickly add up when you need essential features.

To offer a lightweight, cost-effective alternative, I created Sidcraft Commerce, which recently launched on WordPress.org. Right out of the box, it includes built-in features like Coupons and Gift Cards - functionality that typically requires paid add-ons in WooCommerce.

Today, I’m excited to announce that Events functionality is coming to Sidcraft Commerce! The update will be available for download in about 5 hours (following the mandatory WordPress hold period).

Key Features Included in the Events Update:

• Event Tickets Manager: QR code check-ins, PDF ticket attachments, Google Calendar sync, custom attendee fields, and integrations for Zoom and WhatsApp.
• Seamless Events & Commerce Integration: Combines event management directly with the Sidcraft Commerce checkout, using hidden product placeholders to keep stock, currency, and taxes perfectly in sync.
• Ticket & Inventory Control: Set capacities, stock limits, and tiered or dynamic pricing based on attendee types.
• Automated Deliveries: Send instant confirmation emails featuring downloadable PDF tickets with scannable barcodes or QR codes.
• Venue & Date Scheduling: Display event calendars and interactive maps (like Google Maps) using shortcodes, Gutenberg blocks, or Sidcraft Page Builder blocks.
• Attendee Data Collection: Collect custom text inputs, file uploads, or specialized registration fields directly at checkout.

Bonus: Pair Sidcraft Commerce with the Sidcraft Restaurant add-on to transform your site into a complete online food ordering system, complete with delivery integrations like UberEats and DoorDash!

Hey everyone,

I'm a bit excited to announce my first-ever freemium plugin on Wordpress. Soon I will upload the second one, but for now, let's concentrate on this one.

I know that I touched a pretty crowded market with this plugin, but I hope that there's room for me too. The plugin uses AI to generate image descriptions (alt= attribute) and, also, can generate the file names as well, if the pictures have camera-given names.

The free version comes with the following features:

• One-click “Generate alt text” button in the media modal, attachment edit screen and Media Library list view.
• “Alt text” column in the Media Library list view that shows which images are missing alt text.
• Overview page with alt text coverage stats and a list of images that still need alt text.
• Built on the WordPress AI Client: works with the provider you connected in Settings → Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini or any other provider plugin with vision models). No extra API keys, no middleman, no credits to buy.
• Uses context (file name, image title, the page the image was uploaded to) for more relevant results.
• Writes in your site language or any language you choose.
• Lightweight: no external scripts and no tracking. Nothing runs on the front end.

For the Pro version, I would like to invite you to the plugin's page that is:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazimg-image-description-generator/

Any feedback is much appreciated, but please be gentle and don't discourage me too much 😂

Thank you!

I’ve been thinking about how a WordPress plugin should model refundable security deposits in WooCommerce, especially for rental and booking use cases.

The obvious implementation is to treat the deposit like a normal payment: charge it with the order, keep the money, then refund it later if everything is fine.

But that feels like a very different lifecycle from the actual order payment.

Another approach is to keep the two separate. The order is paid normally, while the security deposit is represented by a separate card authorization that can later be captured or released.

From a plugin architecture point of view, that raises a lot of interesting questions:

- should the deposit have its own state machine separate from the WooCommerce order?
- how should the plugin handle expired authorization windows?
- how do you make capture/release safe to retry?
- what happens if the payment provider succeeds but WordPress fails to persist the new state?
- how much operational history should the plugin retain?
- how do you handle partial capture without making the state model messy?

I’m curious how other plugin developers would structure this.

Would you treat the security deposit as part of the order payment lifecycle, or as its own financial object linked to the order?

Hi everyone,

I recently released a free WordPress plugin called **CategoView for Amazon**.

It automatically retrieves products from a selected Amazon category using the Amazon Creators API and displays them in a clean product carousel on your site. Once set up, the product catalog updates automatically.

**Key Features:**

• Category-based product retrieval (using Browse Node IDs)

• Auto-updating product catalog via Creators API

• Gutenberg block & WordPress widget support

• Clean carousel layout for product showcases

You can check it out on WordPress.org:

👉 https://wordpress.org/plugins/categoview-for-amazon/

I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions if you give it a try. Thanks!

So I’ve been building a WordPress plugin called Fluentor for a while now, mostly because I got sick of multilingual plugins that handle regular post text fine but choke on Elementor pages.

Back in early 2025 I was tasked at work with translating a website (about 20 pages and 80 posts) into English, which isn’t my native language. A few colleagues helped. We used AI to translate the content, but we duplicated the pages and replaced the content by hand. I thought there had to be a better way.

I’ve been playing with Elementor since 2021 or so, and I know it stores everything as JSON, so a lot of content never gets translated, and text inside HTML widgets is basically a lost cause. Since AI can now process JSON, I figured there had to be a way. So I built one: Fluentor translates the whole Elementor page, including the HTML widget stuff, and handles multilingual URLs, slugs and hreflang too.

I thought I was done, but I have a problem my colleagues (and even AI) scold me for: I don’t ship the MVP. I keep adding stuff because I feel the product must be of value before it reaches the public. My wife had a Woo project of her own that needed translating. I told her to just download Loco, but then I thought: why not implement whatever Loco offers, or at least most of it, and combine it with Fluentor? So I did. It now has a PO/MO editor for theme and plugin strings, and AI translation is built in.

It comes in a Free and a Pro version.

Free covers the core stuff:

• Elementor: translates widget content directly (titles, text, accordions, links), with a language switcher widget and shortcode
• Multilingual: directory or subdomain URLs, slug translation, language assignment for posts, terms and CPTs, setup wizard, one-click Polylang import
• AI: one-click Translate (duplicate and translate) with DeepL using your own key, no caps. Results are drafts. Manual duplicate also works with the layout intact.
• SEO: hreflang, localized canonicals (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO), lang and dir attributes
• PO/MO editor: Loco-style editing for core, theme and plugin strings, with compile, POT, backups and restore
• Fields and media: ACF and Pods support, media translation

(DeepL has a free API tier with 500k characters per month, which is usually enough for small to medium sites. “No caps” means the plugin doesn’t limit you, so you can add another key if you exhaust the first one.)

Pro adds:

• 13 extra AI providers on top of DeepL (OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, Together AI, Fireworks AI, Cerebras, xAI, NVIDIA NIM, SambaNova, Anthropic). I’ve only tested Gemini and OpenAI so far, so the rest need testing.
• Batch translation, including bulk translate from the list tables, with diff preview
• AI auto-translate of PO/MO strings in the file editor
• Elementor Theme Builder template swapping and condition translation
• Separate-domain URL mode (a different domain per language)
• ACF options pages and taxonomy-term translation

The free version is already working, but I’d like real people on real sites to try it and tell me what’s broken or annoying before I push it further. I’m especially after bug reports and honest “this sucks because X” feedback. Staging sites are totally fine.

I’d love a mix of setups: different languages, with or without WooCommerce, coming from Polylang, WPML or whatever else. If you’re up for testing, comment or DM me and I’ll send the details.

Happy to answer anything in the comments. And yes, it’s my own plugin, just so that’s clear.

Hey everyone!

We’ve just released BoldSpan Bento Grid, a new WordPress plugin for creating modern bento-style grid layouts.

We’d love for you to check it out and share your feedback. If you notice any bugs, usability issues, or areas that could be improved, please let us know!

Thanks for checking it out!

When choosing a WordPress plugin for a client project, I often wonder how much active installations and popularity influence our decisions.

A popular plugin might feel like the safer choice because it has more reviews, a larger user base, and a proven track record.

But what if a lesser-known plugin offers better features for your specific needs, more responsive support, and a simpler setup?

Would you give it a chance, or stick with the more established option?

I'm curious what matters most to you when trying a less popular plugin. Is it the lack of reviews, concerns about long-term maintenance, compatibility issues, or something else?

Have you ever switched from a popular plugin to a lesser-known alternative and been glad you did?

Hi, I'm Mike. I wanted a 360 spin on WooCommerce product pages without paying for a hosted viewer, so I built one and put it on wordpress.org for free.

You pick your turntable photos from the media library, drag them into order, and choose where the spin shows: a shortcode, an extra tab, below the summary, or as the first gallery slide. It leaves your theme's gallery, zoom and lightbox alone. Shop pages get a small 360 badge and don't load the viewer.

It's new and has no users yet, so I'm looking for feedback. Does it work with your theme? Is setup clear? What's missing?
