ShowIt Setup with RW Elephant WordPress Plugin

The RW Elephant Rental Inventory Plugin is compatible with the ShowIt Advanced Blog service.

The ShowIt Advanced Blog service allows users to host a WordPress blog and additional WordPress based Pages which can then be used to display the Inventory Gallery and Wishlist pages of the RW Plugin.

This setup guide will walk you through how to configure the RW WordPress Plugin on your ShowIt website. But first, check out our demo Showit site with the Plugin in action!
