AR for WordPress

AR for WordPress supports GLB, GLTF, USDZ, and Reality files for 3D model viewing. These are the most compatible formats for AR and 3D display across all devices.

Yes! The plugin uses the model-viewer scripts which support most iOS and Android devices. Viewing of the models in 3D is done directly in the browser and launches the native Android WebXR and iOS Quick Look apps for AR viewing. For optimum performance, it requires your site to have an SSL certificate (https://).

AR Display AI is our revolutionary feature that allows you to generate 3D models from photos using artificial intelligence. Simply upload a photo, and our AI will analyze it and create a complete 3D model ready for AR display. This feature uses a credit-based system and supports customizable texture resolution and foreground ratio settings.

The Default Poster Image system allows you to set a global default poster image in your AR settings. When a model doesn't have a custom poster image set, it automatically falls back to this default image, ensuring consistent and professional presentation across all your AR models.

Absolutely! AR for WordPress integrates seamlessly with popular page builders including:

• Gutenberg - Native blocks and shortcodes
• Elementor - Custom widgets and elements
• WPBakery - Shortcode integration
• Divi - Shortcode support
• Any page builder that supports shortcodes

You can add AR models using several methods:

• Shortcode: [ardisplay id=X] where X is your model ID
• Gutenberg Block: Use the AR Display block in the editor
• Elementor Widget: Drag and drop the AR widget
• PHP Code: Use the do_shortcode() function
• Widget Areas: Add to any widget-enabled area

The User Upload feature allows visitors to your site to upload their own 3D models or images and view them instantly in AR. Images are automatically converted to 3D models, making it perfect for interactive galleries, user-generated content, or community showcases.

The AR Gallery feature converts your post featured images into 3D models that can be displayed on walls in AR. Use the [argallery] shortcode with options for frame style, color, opacity, and more. Perfect for creating virtual art galleries or showcasing portfolios.

The free version allows for 1 model with basic features. The premium subscription unlocks unlimited models, AI generation, user uploads, advanced settings, and all premium features. Learn more about the premium subscription.

Common solutions for AR display issues:

• Ensure your site uses HTTPS
• Check that your device supports AR (iOS 11+ or Android 8+)
• Verify the 3D model file is valid and not corrupted
• Clear browser cache and cookies
• Check that the model file size isn't too large
• Ensure proper file permissions on your server

3D Viewing: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (all modern versions) AR Features:

• iOS: Safari (Quick Look)
• Android: Chrome (WebXR), Samsung Internet
• Desktop: Limited AR support (shows QR codes for mobile)

You can manage multiple models using:

• Thumbnail Navigation: Display multiple models in one viewer
• Category Shortcodes: [ardisplay cat=X] for category-based display
• Multiple IDs: [ardisplay id="1,2,3"] for specific models
• Model Lists: Use the [armodels] shortcode for model listings

We implement several security measures:

• Encrypted model URLs to prevent direct downloads from within the browser (model files once passed to native AR viewers like iOS Quick Look can still be saved and shared. Unfortunately there is no option available from iOS to prevent this. For the best protection, export simplified (low-poly) versions of your models, bake textures into a single map, and embed subtle watermarks or identifying metadata so any saved copies are less editable or traceable to your original work.)
• Nonce verification for all AJAX requests
• User permission checks for API access
• Secure file handling and validation
• Regular security updates and patches
