Overview:

The Business Pro Content Slider is a full-width, responsive feature slider that allows you to add text, images, and embed videos from sites like YouTube and Vimeo. The Content Slider can be enabled on the Front Page, Posts Page, and any Static Page and set up with our easy to use options. The Content Slider also allows for custom categories so you can assign different sets of slides for each slider. Continue reading below to learn how to use the Business Pro Content Slider.

Creating Slides:

To use the Content Slider you will need some slides, so to get started click on Content Slides in your WP-Admin sidebar and click Add New to create a new slide. There are three different types of content slides: text and media, media only, and text only. Select the type you want to use from the Select Slide Type option. If you’re using text, enter your text into the Slide Text option.If you are using Text and Media, you can select the layout from the Slide Layout option. If you’re using an image use the Slide Image uploader. If you’re embedding a video enter the code into the Media Embed text box. You can also assign one or more categories to your slide from the Slide Categories option to the right.

Image/Video Sizes:

The ideal sizes for either images or video in the slider are 980 by 300 for the image-only slide, and 420 by 210 for the text-image slide.

If it’s the Front Page use the Front Page Theme Options, if it’s your posts page use the Blog Page Theme Options, and if it’s a static page use the Business Pro Page Options found below the page content window when editing that page.
