Add the Image

Pick an image from the Media Library or upload a new one. Keep the Image Size to Cover. And lastly keep both the Ken Burns Effect and Background Overlay disabled.

Give a Title to the Slide. I have not included any Description, but if you are intending to add some, the big box with the number 02 placed beside it is for adding description.

I have changed the Button Text to ‘Learn More’. And lastly you can add links to a certain Web-page in the Link field, i have placed number 4 right beside it.

Adjust the Style

Move on to the next tab-Style. First you need to enable the Custom feature on. Next I have picked the Horizontal Position at the Left, Vertical Position at the Middle and Text Alignment to the Left. Although I have kept the text color to its default white color, you can change it by using the Text Color Pop-up.

Slider Cards

Make these adjustments to every Card you include. If you don’t know what a card is here is a simple explanation, every Slide you include from the Slide’s Content>>Slides Tab, it will be represented in a Card. The card holds all the customization options for the Slides.
