ZoomifyWP Free

Description

Make any image zoomable no matter how large. The ZoomifyWP Free plugin for WordPress offers an easy way to embed Zoomify files into your WordPress site. To use you must upload the folder created by the Zoomify converter to your wp-content/uploads/zooms directory via FTP. If the zooms directory does not exist, you must add it. You can then embed a shortcode [zoomify filename=”myCoolZoom”] to your post or page.

Zoomify Free includes everything you need to create amazing and interactive zooms of images with a simple three-step zoom process. Download the version for your platform at http://www.zoomify.com/free.htm

Can I include more than one Zoomify image per page

Not at this time. Future versions will include methods to specifically name the element id and therefore allow you to add as many zooms on a page or post as is feasible.

Can I upload a ZIF

Zifs are special files created by the Zoomify Converter. As of this writing, the free converter didn’t have a production version capable of creating the ZIF but a version was in beta testing. ZIF upload capability will be available in future versions.

Can I add skins to the zoom

Not at this time. The free version of the Zoomify product contains a very basic user interface. Future versions of the ZoomifyWP plugin will include the specification of basic skins as well as other skins you have created.

Can I apply styling to the Zoomify div

Yes. The styling of the block is basic and ready for further styling such as width, height, border color, etc.

I followed the instructions carefully. Sadly it would only give a 404 message instead of the zoomify area. I checked the generated html and it had the correct address of the file, so I had not made a mistake.
