Sirv shortcodes explained
Sirv shortcodes are a convenient way to reuse and embed image/video galleries and 360 spins.
Whenever you add Sirv media and create an image gallery, 360 spin, image zoom, or a 'zoom gallery', they will be saved in the 'shortcodes section' of Sirv settings.
You can add as many shortcodes as you like.
When editing a post or a page, you can easily add shortcodes to posts or pages by going to Add Sirv Media -> Select 'Choose shorcode' tab -> Insert Shortcode.
Featured images and Sirv
By default, WordPress asks you to choose featured images from your Media Library. You can use the 'Featured image from URL' plugin to choose featured images from your Sirv account or by simply entering the image URL.
This will allow you to use your Sirv media as featured images for posts and WooCommerce products.
