Avada includes the popular LayerSlider by Kreatura. It is slider for creating image galleries, content sliders, and mind-blowing slideshows with must-see effects, even from your WordPress posts and pages. We cannot cover everything here but we’ve outlined how to setup a slider and add slides to it.
How To Create A New LayerSlider
Step 1 – Click on ‘the LayerSlider’ tab on your WP Admin panel, then click the ‘Add New’ button on the top of the page, give the slider a name, then click ‘Add Slider’ to add it to the list.
Step 2 – The ‘Slider Settings’ tab will open and allow you to set the general settings for your slider such as the width, height, responsive, full width, and more. Please Check out each tab.
Step 3 – On the Appearance tab there is a ‘Skin’ field. There are several to choose from including our own Avada skin which is called Avada.
Step 4 – Once you are done, click ‘Save Changes’ to save the slider. Next you can add slides, see the information below.
How To Add Slides To Your Slider
Step 1 – Open the Slider you’d like to add slides to, then click on the ‘Slides’ tab at the top of the page.
