Second Steps

1. Slides List

Once you’ve created a slider, click the “Edit Slides” button shown in the screenshot below to started creating and editing individual slides.

You’ll then be taken to a page where the slides are listed at the top of the screen, and the first slide is automatically selected and ready to be edited.

  • Note #1
    In previous versions of the plugin, the first slide needed to be created manually. With 5.0+, the first slide is automatically created by default.

A special editor where you can add global content for the slider.  This content is slide independent, and will simply be placed on top of your other slides.

Static Layer Options

Choose the CSS overflow value for the Static Layers slide, and also choose what slide each individual Layer should start and end on.

3.1 Activate or deactivate the slide

If a slide has an “inactive” status, the slide will still exist in the admin, and can still be edited, but will not be shown in the actual slider on the front-end of your site.
