Introduction:
Adding a 3D touch to your photographs can make them stand out and attract more attention in your blog or website. The 3D Photo Row is a WordPress Media Plugin that allows you to create and display 3D hover effects on your images, giving your site a stunning visual appeal. In this tutorial, we will cover the step-by-step guide on how to use the 3D Photo Row plugin to give your photographs a 3D spin.
Get Started:
Before starting, please ensure that your WordPress website is updated and the plugin is installed from the official WordPress repository. We will proceed with the assumed installation. If you've installed it manually, don't hesitate to reach me for troubleshooting.
Accessing 3D Photo Row
To access 3D Photo Row's settings and features, hover over your WordPress dashboard "Settings" menu and choose "Media" from the dropdown menu. This action will navigate you to WordPress' native Media settings screen. Scrolling down and looking left, you should find an additional tab now named "3D Photo Row Settings" or very similar with your plugin’s name as the tab description. Simply click on the tab or button to bring up its settings page and begin building your 3D Row.
Initial Setup and Configuration
By default, the plugin loads with five different settings fields: Images, 2D Row, 3D Position, 2D Flip, and Additional CSS Code. Here let's first cover the default settings’ meanings and fields.
The 3D Photo Row plugin comes fully customizable out of the package. Just below the 5 fields on the 3D Photo Row Settings’s page in your WordPress Settings area lies a “Description” header with a box below and an “Open/Upload Images” action button under that. Both the Image Upload and all settings listed below can later be tailored for your media’s specifications.
First Steps Using 3D Photo Row
1 Uploading Images: Initially, when you first try to begin with the use of your 3D Photo Row plugin, or when wanting to add newer images (as you should keep 3D variations in case you need updating them eventually), you go to Open/Upload the images of your choice: Select 'Open/Upload Images'; this will activate a brand new media tab on top of your currently displayed web page. Locate your choice of images from your computer and select them via the box’s left border.
As soon as clicked, or when uploading one, if your chosen choice of action includes an instant image action (like delete, thumbnail, or gallery), after clicking on image action. It will list all pictures from your files in Windows Explorer, using your WordPress Media Library after upload finishes.
2 Add your text content. (For details on the Add Content click on the description of settings fields above image upload tab.)
