you only need the krpanotools droplet output folder contents, nothing else, the emebdpano.js is already included in the tour.htm file
krpano does not use any shortcodes on its own, but if you are referring to the krpano embed code instructions in your first post, DO NOT use that code with wordpress, it will not work as expected, that code is for if you were building a static page or otherwise integrating your own code into a custom dynamic template etc
panopress does not affect krpano xml or any other embedded files in any way, most likely your errors with rotate speed etc were due to local browser caching, always clear your cache etc when testing xml updates
if you want to easily embed a pano in wordpress etc without panopress, just use an iframe like this
<iframe width="100%" height="500" src="http://www.WEBSITE.com/path/pano.htm" allowfullscreen></iframe>
first, verify that your pano path url is correct and works on its own when opened in a browser before embedding (if it does not work on its own it will not work in an embed), then paste the entire iframe line into a post (use wp text editor mode, NOT fancy editor mode) and save your post
