How To Create A New Slider Revolution Slider
With Slider Revolution 6, ThemePunch have introduced a Slider Guide to help you with the initial setup of your sliders. To access this, click on the ‘Slider Revolution’ link in your WP admin sidebar. Once on this tab, click on the ‘New Blank Module’ button at the top of the Slider Revolution interface.
This brings up the Guide. Just click Start Guide to be lead through the creation process of a Slider Revolution Module.
Step 1 of the guide is to choose the type of module you want. You can choose from Slider, Scene and Carousel. There are descriptions below each one to assist you with your choice.

Step 3 of the guide is about respoinsive resizing, and there are three choices. The default is intelligent inheriting. If you are not sure what you want, check out the Support Center at ThemePunch, and remember you can always make changes to the settings later.
When you have clicked the ‘Go to Editor’ button at the end of Step 3, you are taken to the editor interface, with a blank slide. From here you can begin to add your content.
Slider Revolution Interface Overview
Slider Revolution Mobile Padding Class
When using a 100% width slider, content may need to sit directly on the edge of the site width so it aligns with the logo and other page content. However on mobile devices, the logo and other page content has padding applied so it is not right on the screen edge. If you want your slider content to also have the same padding on mobile so it aligns with other content, you can use a custom class on each layer in your slider. Select any layer and insert
in the ‘Classes’ field, located in the ‘Attributes’ section of the Layer Options panel, as shown below.
