Additional Options
This theme allows you to easily add titles, captions and buttons to your slider. Here are some general guidelines.
Once you show the slider you will notice 4 tabs:
- Default Options
- Caption Advances
- Image Size Options
- Aviapoloy Options
You will use only the Default Options or Caption Advanced tabs.
Default Options:
Along with linking your slide, the default options allow you to add a Title and/or Caption.
Caption Advanced:
This tab allows you to control the size, placement and color of your title and caption. You also have the option to add a button to your slide.
- Caption Animation: This drop-down determines how you want your text to appear on the page.
- Caption Position and Style: This drop down will allow you to decide where to place the text on your page as well as what size you'd like the font to be.
- Caption Font Color: This will allow you to select what color you want your text to be.
- Caption Call to Action Button Label: If you want a button to appear on your slide, use this area. If you don't want a button, you can leave it blank. We recommend that if you do add a button to link it.
Here's an example of a slide using the above options.
