Simply drag and drop elements to build your page content. We prepared components which will help you determine main structure of the webpage – easily set up backgrounds, colors and styles for whole sections as well as lots of various smaller components which you can freely put wherever you want.

As the VC plugin used with Puer WP Theme is part of a bundle, that mean that theme author has a license and only he/she can download latest versions of VC and include it in the theme. You as a theme user may use Visual Composer free of charge while you use the theme that came with VC (because you have a license for that theme).

To create your own custom slider you can add Widget title that will be visible above the slider. The next step in creating your own slider is decide which type of slider to use. Avaliable slider types are:

  • Flex slider type
_images/slider_type.png
  • Flex slider slide
_images/slider_slide.png
  • Nivo slider
_images/nivo_slider.png

After choosing the style that will be used for the slider you can decide if you want the slides to move on they own or do not move at all. To choose scroll to Auto rotate and choose the slider movement between 3, 5, 10, 15 seconds or choose disable this option.

Thumbnail size will allow to set the size of the slides. Example: thumbnail, medium, large, full defined by current theme. Alternatively enter image size in pixels: 200x100 (Width x Height).

You can also attached Link to each slide so it will lead to the bigger veersion of the image, post from which the image comes or to a custom link.

Choosing number of sliders visible

Not always we want to show all of the images that are available. To decide about the number of images that will be available in this slider please add number to Slider count option. If for some reason you want to show all the beautiful images in one slider add there Enter “All” to display all slides.

Filter slider images

If the issue is not the number of the slides but which images are used just use one of the filtering options that allow you to indicate which image to use.

To filter images you can use:

  • Post/Page IDs: Enter page/posts IDs to display only those records (Note: separate values by commas (,)). Use this field in conjunction with “Post types” field.
  • Categories: Enter categories by names to narrow output (Note: only listed categories will be displayed, divide categories with linebreak (Enter)).

Order

When you choose which images to show, you cen decide the order of them by sorting them by: ID, Author, Title and many more.

Adding custom changes

For some reason you don’t like the way how the slider looks like or want to add it more custom look? You can achieve it by adding custom css. You can use one of the slider classes but we would suggest to simply add your own class in Extra class name* to style particular content element differently or Element ID (Note: make sure it is unique and valid according to w3c specification)
