FAQ

How do I start the curtain view?: Add ?curtain_ceremony=true to any page URL.
Example: https://yourwebsite.com/?curtain_ceremony=true
Can I change the curtain look?: Yes. Go to Settings > Curtain Raiser.
You can choose color, image, rope image, and animation speed.
Can I open the curtain for everyone at the same time?: Yes. Go to Tools > Curtain Remote, create a session, share the attendee link, then click Open Curtain.
Can I also close it again?: Yes. Use the Close Curtain button on the same Remote page.
Will this slow down my website?: No. Plugin assets load only on URLs where ?curtain_ceremony=true is present.
I do not see the curtain. What should I check?: Usually one of these:
1. Missing ?curtain_ceremony=true in the URL
2. Cache needs clearing
3. Theme/plugin CSS conflict
How do I remove plugin data completely?: Deactivate and delete the plugin from WordPress Plugins screen.
The uninstall routine removes stored settings and active remote session data.

I was pleasently surprised by this plugin. It was the last minute call from the client for something like this and as usual, after a casual search found this plugin and it saved me hours of trouble! Thank you!
