Integrations & Content

Contact Form 7, Slider Revolution, iPanorama 360, and the Blog page.

Contact Form

The theme uses the Contact Form 7 plugin for the Contact Form. The plugin is one of the recommended plugins that was installed in the first step. You can read more about the plugin here.

If your form submits silently or reCAPTCHA fails to validate, use reCAPTCHA v3 keys registered for your exact domain (www vs non-www is significant), enter them under Contact → Integration, and clear every cache. See the reCAPTCHA fix for step-by-step details.

The shortcode for the Contact Form can be found in the Contact Tab on the left on the Admin Panel, and then add new or use an already created form.

Contact

The style of the Contact Form in the demo is the default one from the plugin. The code is in the Form tab when you edit the Contact Form:

[submit "Send"]

When creating a new Page, you can select the Shortcode Elementor Widget and add the contact form shortcode there.

Slider Revolution

Also packed with the theme is the Slider Revolution plugin. It will provide you with beautiful and modern sliders or page headers. The package of the theme comes with a couple of pre-defined sliders that you can use. They are found in the rev-slider-templates folder. After installing the plugin, you can go to Slider Revolution in the sidebar of the admin dashboard and select Manual Import. After that, import all the slider_export.txt from each of the sub directories of the rev-slider-templates folder. You can read more about the plugin here.

The bundled Slider Revolution build is v6.5.17. Use the version shipped with the theme package - pairing the theme with a much newer standalone Slider Revolution can cause import or rendering glitches. Update via the theme package when a new SkyTower release ships.

Manual Import

The Single Page and Single Property sliders can be used as a header image of your pages or properties. By clicking on the little arrow of the slider and then Embed, yo ucan see the text shortcode of the slider.

Panorama

The theme comes with the iPanorama 360 Lite plugin for creating panorama sections. The plugin is one of the recommended plugins that was installed in the first step. You can read more about the plugin here.

iPanorama needs a scene set to type: sphere for the default 3D view to work. If your panorama loads but looks flat or distorted, open the scene and confirm the type before troubleshooting further.

Click Add New to create a new panorama for your site.

Panorama

After that go to the Scenes tab and click the little plus icon in the upper left to create a new scene. Without one, ou will not have any 360 image to look at. Use the Imge field to upload your photo. To position it properly you can click on the icon button below Camera start position to select your starting angle.

Important! Make sure that the type of scene is set to sphere if you want the default 3D view.

Or you can just click on the Load As button in the upper right and import the ipanorama_config.json file that comes with the theme. It consist of the configurations but doesn't include an image.
