| Hey Team, I've been silently browsing through this forum long enough, I've learned so much. Big thank you to the members who are on here answering questions and giving advice. I thought I'd give back a little and share a solution to a small problem I had with WP3D Models. Problem: As we know, there are 2 main one page website styles, Skinned and Standard Skinned is the nice one, it's already styled nicely and we don't really need to do anything to it. Standard by default doesn't look that nice, for me personally it has this issue where the matterport Iframe scrolls over the NAV bar and the styling looks weird. Skinned isn't the default, even after making it the default view in settings. the URL still needs that extra /skinned/ parameter example: www.virtualrealestate.nz/view/1-hobson-street/skinned/ Organic SEO defaults to the original website www.virtualrealestate.nz/view/1-hobson-street it doesn't act like a normal WP page so I couldn't delete it. I needed to make it impossible for users to intentionally or accidently open that page. Solution: I found this simple WP Plugin called Redirection https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/ The name is pretty self explanatory, it redirects all users from one link (in our case the standard view to the skinned one) Once you install and activate it. Put your standard link in the source /view/1-hobson-street Put the skinned link in the target /view/1-hobson-street/skinned/ Now whevener someone visits /view/1-hobson-street they get smoothly redirected to /view/1-hobson-street/skinned/ Many of you might not even need this. But to those that do, I hope this helped, if you have any questions please comment below. |

| @ZakhZ Welcome to the WGAN Forum and thank you for your insightful post on WP3D Models meets WordPress Plugin Redirection to easily solve the redirect challenge to display the skinned view. That's awesome! I have been using WP3D Models (from before Day 1) and had no idea that there was a solution to this challenge. Thank you - and others - for starting new WGAN Topics to share tips, best practices, solutions and more! Enjoy your weekend, Dan |

| Thanks @ZakhZ - Great suggestion here! There is also the option of adding a bit of custom code to your site (in the form of a 'single-model.php' template replacement) that doesn't require the use of a plugin, but this is a great/quick/straightforward solution. For a plugin-less way of redirecting the "standard" to the "skinned" view, do this: 1. Create a new file named 'single-model.php'. 2. Paste the following code into that file: <?php /** * The template overrides the WP3D Models "standard" display * PLACE A COPY IN YOUR ACTIVE THEME'S ROOT * */ $permalink = trailingslashit(get_permalink()); // 301 Redirect Standard to Skinned header("Location: ".$permalink."skinned",TRUE,301); 3. Save this 'single-model.php' file into the root of your active WordPress theme directory. 4. Done! Thanks for sharing.  |
